Tiny weddings, big personalities. When you look back on your wedding in years to come, it’s the characters that will shine through your images. The laughter and the love, the small, tender moments and the ones so overwhelming you remember them as if they were yesterday.

Lina & Rob’s wedding was on one of the hottest days of summer. They chose York Place – specialists in documentary wedding photography and film – to capture their wedding in the heart of Oxford.

Lina’s boho backless wedding dress is absolutely beautiful, and Rob’s suit’s lovely with a dash of sunny yellow for his tie. The couple are stunning; their wedding guests look the part in yellow shades (Grandad and the kids rocking the same, cool summer wedding look)!

This little quote from the team behind York Place Studios puts it perfectly: “Capturing this beautiful setting alongside the funny, heartwarming, sweet and tender moments between such a lovely group was a pure pleasure and it was fantastic to see the young and young-at-heart all celebrating together“.

Regular readers of the blog will know well that I’m a fan of documentary photography: wedding images as natural and authentic as it gets. York Place are masters of their craft, and explain perfectly how weddings of all sizes have one wonderful thing in common:

“No matter how big or small, formal or relaxed, weddings for us are always all about the people who attend them. The people themselves, their relationships and their personalities are always unique, always new and exciting to celebrate and capture but our approach and the way we see the world through a lens do not differ. Colours, expressions, life, humour and love still permeate through our images and the people in front of us, and we’re always seeking out the smallest whispers of moments and intimate of connections to reveal them.”

So this Voco Oxford wedding is as magical as any. The day rolls by in glorious sunshine with Lina and Rob surrounded by their closest family and friends. Boats sail down the Thames as the couple say their vows. There’s quite a moment with the cake. It’s all captured beautifully in a series of moments that connect through the people who shared their day, and in the inimitable style of top London photographers York Place Studios.
