One of the best things about my job is being able to reunite with families whose events I have photographed in the past, and this was exactly the case with Hannah & Jack’s wedding. A few years before, I photographed Hannah’s brother Declan’s wedding, and it was just so lovely to see everyone together again for another happy occasion.
Hannah looked gorgeous in a crown of gypsophilia, paired with a show-stopping dress by Rue de Seine, a designer whose creations I had dreamed of photographing for years! Her bouquet was gorgeous and featured an eye-catching white king protea. Jack and the boys looked suave in grey three-piece tweed suits by the Vintage Suit Hire Company.
The venue for their day was a country house nestled in the countryside near Reading. It was the perfect place for a relaxed celebration, starting off with preparations inside the house, followed by a ceremony on the patio and dinner in a stretch tent in the garden.
They said their vows in a ceremony officiated by Hannah’s brother, and started their married life with a joyful confetti run full of smiles and cheers.
Being a crazy flower lady, I just couldn’t resist the field of oxeye daisies for their couple portraits. I’m always keen to give couples a chance to take a step back from the day and catch up with each other, and they did just that as they sat in the daisies for photos.
Dinner proved one of the best wedding meals I’ve ever eaten: a relaxed Mexican buffet by the great Cantina Carnitas. It was the perfect choice for the relaxed vibe of their day, and guests loved the bottles of tequila they had on the table.
After a gorgeous golden hour shoot in a nearby field of buttercups, we photographed some serious dance floor moves and left everyone to party the night away. Congratulations Hannah & Jack! Your day was fantastic and we loved every moment.
