Oxfordshire made the perfect backdrop for Camilla & Paul’s countryside wedding, set on a crisp late September day which we loved capturing from start to finish.

My day started as I met Camilla and her bridesmaids as they got ready at a local AirBNB. It was such a fantastic idea and made for a chilled out morning with plenty of space for everyone to prepare for the day.

Camilla chose a backless Charlie Brear dress with a flowing tulle skirt which looked fantastic paired with her Tilly Thomas Lux headpiece and greenery bouquet, and it was such a joy capturing everyone’s reaction as they saw her in her dress for the first time! Meanwhile, Paul and the groomsmen got dressed at the Great Barn, with the groomsmen in ecru linen suits and Paul looking sharp in navy.

They had chosen St Mary’s Church in Adderbury for their ceremony, a beautiful church filled with light which made for fantastic photos. Camilla walked down the aisle accompanied by both her mother and father and I think the way they beamed at each other when she met Paul at the end of the aisle says it all!

As they left the church, they were showered with so much confetti that a fellow photographer asked me later if it was Photoshop - absolutely not - there really was that much of it in the air! The celebrations continued back at the Great Barn in Aynho, where the newlyweds were greeted with hugs and congratulations from their nearest and dearest.

The venue kindly took us out in a golf buggy to really make the most of the beautiful grounds for photos, including a nearby lake and woodland which were such a joy to shoot in. It was lovely to not only capture the two of them but also give them a moment to themselves in the middle of the wedding madness!

Everyone sat down for dinner and the speeches had everyone laughing and crying (sometimes both at the same time!) And we can’t forget the dance floor - it had to be one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing with serious moves going on in every direction.

Thank you Camilla & Paul for having us along for the ride! We loved your fantastic day and wish you every happiness.

“We are absolutely over the moon with these photos. I was in tears looking through them. We’re with my family in Ireland for Christmas so it’s been lovely to share the pictures with everyone here too!”
