Relaxed garden wedding

From the moment I met Sarah and Colin at the National Wedding Show, I knew their relaxed garden wedding was going to be spot on. Both had a very calm, chilled vibe about them and having enjoyed a great pre wedding shoot in their home county of Northamptonshire, it felt like meeting up with two friends again on the day.

With Sarah’s father hailing from Scotland, there were plenty of kilts around and the wonderful evocative bag pipes played as Colin and Sarah arrived at the church. The couple also chose a lilac theme for their day which complimented the colour of the kilts and of course the choice of colours in the flowers. With a relaxed garden wedding you can make it look effortless with rustic charming touches but naturally a lot of thought had gone into the day.

Reception

The marquee was decorated with vintage apple crates displaying the table plan and the table numbers were made out of wood. The lilac bunting finished off the marquee beautifully. Outside in the family garden and fields were hay bales and the genius idea of serving drinks from the back of a trailer attached to a tractor. The surrounding fields made for a perfect couple session in the soft late afternoon light. Speeches are often one of my favourite parts of the day and Sarah’s father certainly brought a few tears to the eyes!

evening entertainment

Sarah and Colin had the great idea of hiring a waffle and ice cream which all the guests loved. Especially the kids! With Sarah and Colin choosing to have the exact day they wanted there was no first dance or cake cutting. Just plenty of drinking, chilling and enjoying their guests company late in the evening. The epitome of a relaxed garden wedding. Congratulations again, it was an honour to be a part of your day. For more garden weddings click here

kind words from sarah and colin

“We were so lucky to meet you the year before our wedding. Your style and manner in allowing me to look at your work and approach you to ask questions was lovely. From the outset, I felt comfortable and confident that our photographs would be great. I knew I had to book you! On the day, I remember being relaxed and happy when you arrived. Throughout the day you were there to keep us on track and make sure we got the photos we wanted. Due to your relaxed nature and confidence I really enjoyed the few minutes in the field for our couple photos. Each time I look at the pics, I find different things to keep my interest. I especially love the way you have captured our guests expressions throughout the day! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and your work to any other couples.”
