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!
