English summer wedding

The per­fect Eng­lish sum­mer wed­ding — a beau­ti­ful sunny day and gor­geous, colour­ful wed­ding pho­tos to treasure!

This lat­est wed­ding was sub­mit­ted by Lisa Dawn Pho­tog­ra­phy and is such a visual treat! Bride Anna and groom James were mar­ried in August, at St Mary’s Church in Weston-Super-Mare. Their recep­tion was at Huntstile Organic Farm.

Huntstile Organic Farm is per­fect for relaxed Eng­lish coun­try weddings.

Lisa Dawn is a won­der­fully cre­ative pho­tog­ra­pher with a great tal­ent for spot­ting lit­tle details of your wed­ding day: the pho­to­graph above was taken on a visit to the farm before the wed­ding, which sums up the cheer­ful and relaxed atmos­phere of this unusual wed­ding venue.

Groom James waits with his best man, while the brides­maids have their pho­to­graph taken — and how gor­geous are those dresses! Love the colour.

The groom waits patiently for his beau­ti­ful bride to arrive, and the brides­maids stop for a quick pho­to­graph before bride Anna makes her entrance…

Bride Anna looks beau­ti­ful in her sparkling wed­ding dress and veil — and Lisa cap­tures a mem­o­rable moment at the altar dur­ing the wed­ding ceremony.

Anna wore a vin­tage style dress with bead detail­ing, which flat­ters her slen­der fig­ure. The wed­ding car was a 1927 Packard from local wed­ding car com­pany Vin­tage Wheels. Lisa’s photo from the end of the wed­ding cer­e­mony cap­tures that “we’re mar­ried!” moment — it’s a great one to look back on and I think this photo is very special.

The bride and groom enjoy the tra­di­tional Eng­lish con­fetti shower on the way out!

I always smile at a con­fetti photo! I love the colour, the move­ment and the deter­mined flower girl, every time!

The recep­tion is a laid back, colour­ful cel­e­bra­tion and this pho­to­graph sums up the atmosphere.

I love this aspect of Lisa Dawn’s wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy. A pho­to­graph like this just sums up the feel of a wed­ding recep­tion. The sun shone, guests relaxed in the sun­shine and enjoyed the atmos­phere of the farm…

Anna and James share some spe­cial moments in the farm grounds…while Anna and James have a few pho­tos taken on the farm.

I love the bright, rich colours in these pho­tographs. Lisa Dawn has a great eye for pho­to­graph com­po­si­tion — every shot is a delight, full of colour and cap­tures a moment so beautifully.

A con­trast in colour, this sepia toned image gives a time­less romance to the pho­to­graph of Anna and James after their wedding

When it’s impor­tant to record a spe­cial moment, and to cre­ate a for­mal wed­ding shot, Lisa has some tricks up her sleeve to keep the pho­tographs inter­est­ing. I love the colours of this pic­ture, and the tilt­ing land­scape (how did she do that?!) — which add inter­est to this picture.

Anna and James head back to the recep­tion and Lisa’s photo takes in the expanse of gen­tle farm­land, a lovely wed­ding setting.

Huntstile Farm is an unusual loca­tion for a wed­ding, but it’s per­fect for pho­tographs.  Wed­dings should be about relax­ing and enjoy­ing the day — where bet­ter than in the heart of the Eng­lish countryside!

Sim­ple, colour­ful and appeal­ing sweet­ies in a jar!

Anna made up lit­tle jars of colour­ful sweets for guests — they add yet more colour to the day and fit with the farm’s bright and sunny appear­ance inside!

Huntstile farm has some won­der­ful acces­sories of its own!

How roman­tic… I love this old romany gypsy style car­a­van at the farm. Lisa makes it part of the wed­ding day and doesn’t it fit with the bright and sunny feel of this wedding?

Sweet peas at an Eng­lish sum­mer wedding

This wed­ding has been such a visual treat. I had to include this last shot — again taken before the wed­ding, but such a per­fect fit — sweet peas in sum­mer are so roman­tic and bright and colour­ful! I love that Lisa included this pho­to­graph with Anna and James’s wed­ding pho­tos. It’s the lovely lit­tle details that make her work such a treat.

Lisa — thank you for shar­ing. This fea­ture has been a treat to write, while it snows outside!
