So today I have a treat for you — part two of Tanya and Andy’s lovely relaxed, fam­ily ori­en­tated wed­ding. There’s some­thing so spe­cial about doing things your own way: from the wed­ding cer­e­mony where all the chil­dren had tam­bourines, to Tanya’s beau­ti­ful and uncon­ven­tional wed­ding dress.

I would shout from the rooftops about mak­ing your wed­ding per­sonal to you, about side­step­ping tra­di­tion and mak­ing a wed­ding a cel­e­bra­tion of who you really are. Today, I don’t need to: Tanya and Andy are show­ing us exactly what that means and how spe­cial and per­fect it can be.  Read more…

Wedding blog from Kent by reportage wedding photographer Mark Carey (32)

Today’s wed­ding blog is for all you brides and grooms plan­ning a relaxed, infor­mal and fun day: a wed­ding with­out stuffy rules, con­straints and con­ven­tions. Tanya and Andy had a fab­u­lous cre­ative wed­ding at Brick House Farm in Kent, and reportage wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Mark Carey was first to tell me about their day.

I instantly loved the few images he shared with me. I knew I had to email Tanya right away and she was kind enough to share her amaz­ing wed­ding story for the blog. It’s a won­der­ful tale — here is a bride with imag­i­na­tion and a won­der­ful con­fi­dence to cre­ate a really per­sonal wed­ding day.  Read more…

A beautiful countryside wedding: part two

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Claire

Yes­ter­day I blogged the first part of Anto­nia and Rob’s wed­ding day. If you missed it you can click the link to see the prepa­ra­tions and gor­geous pho­tographs of the bride and groom from the wedding.

Elegant and sophisticated wedding reception — part two

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Claire

I can almost hear music as I scroll through Clau­dia and John’s wed­ding pho­tographs — a soft, tin­kling piano piece to accom­pany the ele­gant wed­ding cer­e­mony (did you see their Sid­bury wed­ding blog yes­ter­day?) and then some­thing a touch live­lier for the wed­ding recep­tion I’m about to show you. It sings of sophis­ti­ca­tion and Eng­lish charm with a really loved up atmosphere.

Clau­dia and John live in Aus­tralia, and chose to get mar­ried in the UK because Clau­dia is British and her fam­ily live over here. They had a wed­ding week­end, with a clas­sic Devon cream tea on the day before the wed­ding itself. This was fol­lowed by a tra­di­tional Eng­lish bar­beque in the evening so the Eng­lish and Aussie guests could meet and min­gle.  Read more…

More wedding day fun — in the park!

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Claire

A real wed­ding for you today girls and guys, and one which fol­lows from the play­ful week of wed­dings we had last week!

This is Richard and Laura’s wed­ding day in Wales — the venue is Plas Hafod, the atmos­phere is chilled out coun­try­side and I love the lit­tle details of the day.

Plas Hafod wedding photography North Wales (1)Marie Lloyd Pho­tog­ra­phy sent the pho­tographs in to be fea­tured on Eng­lish Wed­ding. Hus­band and wife wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers from Wales, Marie and Jason work together shoot­ing wed­dings across the country.

A French English Welsh wedding celebration

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Claire

Welsh wedding by photographer Fiona Campbell (25)This wed­ding appeals to my love of nature and the coun­try­side — there’s such a lovely relaxed feel to all the images, and when I first saw the wed­ding slideshow by pho­tog­ra­pher Fiona Camp­bell the farm ani­mals were a won­der­ful surprise!

Stephane and Bianca were mar­ried in the Bre­con Bea­cons, at Glif­faes Coun­try House Hotel. Fiona told me, “It had an absolutely sub­lime atmos­phere and the staff were so help­ful and friendly”.  Read more…

A super cool wedding party

A super cool wed­ding party

This is a wed­ding I love for its char­ac­ter. Emma and Andy’s wed­ding day looks like so much fun! They’ve used their imag­i­na­tions to cre­ate a day with a cool British theme — lots of red and blue — with a coun­try­side twist: welly wang­ing being a def­i­nite highlight!

Pretty in Pink!

Posted on January 24, 2010 by Claire

Another wed­ding I’ve been keep­ing to myself for a few weeks… sorry folks! But it’s worth wait­ing for, trust me. Mark and Vic­to­ria were mar­ried in July and their fab­u­lous pho­tog­ra­pher was Mark Skeet, who is based in Yorkshire.

A favourite photo of mine — Vic­to­ria looks beau­ti­ful and relaxed before the wedding

Victoria’s soft white wed­ding gown is sim­ple and ele­gant, with a strap­less bodice, straight, sweep­ing skirt and flower embell­ish­ments. Her bou­quet is of pink and ivory roses, and her wed­ding shoes are from Faith.

The wed­ding dress is beau­ti­ful, a slen­der shape with flower detail­ing  Read more…

English summer wedding

Posted on December 21, 2009 by Claire
The perfect English wedding: a beautiful summer day and lovely colourful photos to treasure.

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.  Read more…

Featured English Wedding Venue: Whitley Hall

Posted on December 12, 2009 by Claire

Whit­ley Hall is top of my list for lux­ury Eng­lish wed­ding loca­tions. It’s an idyl­lic Eng­lish coun­try man­sion, beau­ti­ful both inside and out. Hid­den away down a quiet lane in the York­shire coun­try­side, Whit­ley Hall is a trea­sure amongst Eng­lish wed­ding venues, with bags of tra­di­tional charm and con­tem­po­rary style.

Whitley Hall - a treasure of an English wedding venue
Whit­ley Hall — a trea­sure of an Eng­lish wed­ding venue

Whit­ley Hall is the roman­tic, Jane Austen wed­ding venue we all dream of when we’re lit­tle. Inside, the clas­sic Eng­lish decor, time­less fur­nish­ings and lit­tle stair­cases cre­ate a mag­i­cal atmos­phere. Out­side there’s a quaint court­yard and small lake, with pea­cocks wan­der­ing around the grounds – as if Whit­ley Hall didn’t have enough wow fac­tor already!  Read more…
