I think it would be impossible not to smile looking back through Rachel and Ben’s wedding day - it was so much fun and Rachel’s laughter is so wonderfully contagious!
This stylish pair didn’t let the wet weather dampen their spirits one bit and we loved every minute of their fab day. Rachel was stunning in a flowing tulle dress, paired with a bouquet of white flowers and greenery, and Ben looked great in his floral jacket and trilby hat.
For their ceremony, they’d chosen the Safari Lodge at Woburn Safari Park which made for a truly memorable venue! They exchanged vows on the veranda, overlooking the meerkat and otter enclosures, their ceremony brimming with joy and laughter.
Afterwards, we headed to a nearby farm where a cosy tipi awaited us for the rest of the day. Rachel and Ben had decorated it after their love of reading, with literature themed table decor and even a book-shaped wedding cake.
With absolute perfect timing, the rain stopped right after the speeches and we seized the moment to get everyone out for confetti and group photos with their nearest and dearest. It dried up so fast that we were even able to get some lovely relaxed shots of Rachel and Ben sat down in the long grass which remain big favourites of my portfolio to this day.
The evening kicked off with a fantastic band, and Rachel and Ben’s first dance to “Are You Ready For Love” by Elton John was such a highlight. As I write this, their wedding was a few years ago now and to this day whenever I hear that tune it takes me right back to their fantastic wedding day!
Thank you Rachel & Ben for asking us to capture such an important chapter in your lives together! It was such a joy and we wish you both every happiness.
“Thank you SO SO SO SO MUCH - our photos are amazing and it’s great to have so many! We really appreciate it!”
