If you’re feeling all the summer vibes and dreaming of a coastal, beach wedding look, today’s blog is for you. I’m so excited to share this wedding editorial photoshoot inspired by the laid-back ruggedness of the rocky cliffs and softly rippled sand of North Devon, and the olde worldy elegance of the Watersmeet Hotel.

The styling is perfect and the images are divine. And you know what? I adore wedding inspiration where the model couple have had fun. On this occasion, you will have to scroll all the way to the bottom of this blog (reading as you go, obvs – you don’t want to miss anything!) for those amazing sand in their toes moments. As beach wedding editorials go, this one’s pretty damn special. It’s also utterly gorgeous. (More on instagram later too! @englishweddingblog)
This little blog post has been rattling around in the back of my mind for a few months. Perhaps the idea has been there for all of the 15 years I’ve been writing English Wedding. Every time I see that posed image of a groom and bride embracing, but his face is obscured because the bride’s front and centre, it reminds me. Why are we treating grooms like they’re a backdrop?

If there’s a dream team in weddings, it’s got to be York Place Studios and Stone Barn. I’ve admired York Place as the gold standard in documentary wedding photography since the very early days of English Wedding: they’re a huge part of the reason I love this photography style more than any other. Stone Barn too, is one of the very best: part of the fabulous Cripps & Co’s portfolio of wedding venues. Experts in everything about modern weddings, they’ve blazed a trail to turn barns into beautiful spaces for celebrations since the 90s. Safe to say Ellie & Alex made the BEST choices in their wedding supplier team and their day was out of this world.
I’m so delighted to be sharing Amy and Ethan’s stunning Woodhill Hall wedding with you today. Their wedding theme was spring meadow with wildflowers and hints of sage green. Everything is happy and colourful, and Willow and Vine‘s styling with florals and foliage is out of this world. Joss’s images are – as always – beautiful, authentic and joyful. It’s lovely to read Amy & Ethan’s glowing review which confirms Joss Denham Photography as one of the North East’s favourite wedding photographers. The happy pair are gorgeous, the vibe of this entire wedding is laid back and full of fun, and the flowers are jaw-droopingly amazing!
