Jamie & Rob: Summer Wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns

Jamie and Rob’s wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns was an absolute joy to photograph! Their gorgeous venue, nestled in the Bedfordshire countryside, is one of my all time favourites and I’m so honoured to be one of their recommended photographers.

They chose soft pastels for their day, with the girls in pale blue dresses, carrying bouquets of seasonal wildflowers by the talented ladies at Flowers at 58, and the groomsmen in matching ties. Jamie looked stunning in a lace and tulle dress by Maggie Sottero, and Rob and the boys looked sharp in their navy suits.

Their wedding ceremony took place in the charming Rickety Barn, a cosy and rustic setting which created an intimate atmosphere to exchange their vows under the beams and fairy lights in front of their closest friends.

Guests showered the newlyweds with confetti before heading to the beautiful gardens of Bassmead for a relaxed drinks reception. The gardens made for the perfect backdrop for photos with their family and friends, and we were thrilled to find lots of beautiful wildflowers in the nearby fields for their couple portraits. It was lovely to give them a quiet moment together amidst the whirlwind of the big day.

The celebrations continued with dinner, followed by speeches that had everyone bent over in laughter, moments which were a complete joy to capture. And as the evening set in, Jamie and Rob took to the dance floor with a choreographed first dance, ending in the highlight of Rob picking Jamie up and spinning her around. Everyone joined them on the dance floor and the photo booth props even made their way into the dancing photos!

Thank you guys for having us capture your wonderful day. A huge love and congratulations to you both!

Thank you SO MUCH for these. We are not posers but you both made us feel at ease and we barely knew you were there. You captured things we weren’t even aware of!
