Late August brought with it a warm sunny day for Sarah & Nick’s wedding at South Farm in Royston, one of my favourite venues!
Sarah and Nick decided to break with tradition by getting ready together in the Coach House Suite. They shared in the excitement of the day as Sarah had her makeup done and Nick got changed into his outfit, a three piece grey checked suit with pale blue tie which was just perfect for a summer wedding. With time to spare he headed off with his mates to the local pub, ensuring that Sarah’s dress still remained a surprise later on!
Sarah looked absolutely radiant in her halter neck wedding dress, paired with a beautiful flower crown and bouquet in hues of pink, yellow and orange. It was such a special moment to capture her accompanied down the aisle by her daughter and two sons, to a beaming Nick at the end of the aisle.
Their ceremony took place in the charming Summer House, a little cabin perched on a pond in the beautiful South Farm gardens. Their friends and family watched from the lawn as they said their vows with the biggest smiles on their faces.
Confetti took place in front of the farmhouse, with family and friends showering them in petal confetti before a relaxed drinks reception in the garden.
I’ve photographed at many venues over the years and South Farm has to be one of the most beautifully landscaped places I’ve ever had the pleasure of shooting at. It’s filled with beautiful flowers and foliage all year round and there are endless spots to shoot in! We loved exploring the grounds for their portraits and it was clear these two are made for each other as they spent every minute smiling and laughing together.
Everyone enjoyed a fantastic dinner, topped off by a great speech by Nick’s best men. And a true highlight of the day had to be the adorable moment when Sarah got the opportunity to cuddle a tiny piglet!
As the sun set, the evening celebrations kicked off with Sarah and Nick’s first dance to “Isn’t She Lovely” by Stevie Wonder. The dance floor quickly filled and we left everyone to dance their hearts out and celebrate into the evening.
Thank you Sarah & Nick for having us capture your wedding! We loved spending the day with you both and wish you every happiness.
