I loved Anna and Ali’s wedding as soon as I laid eyes on their images. This is everything a wedding needs to be, nothing more or less: a lovely couple surrounded by their best people, and a heartfelt celebration filled with love. Images by Newcastle wedding photographer Joss Denham are relaxed, natural and utterly perfect. Styling was kept understated, yet beautiful, with white and pink blush for the flowers. And the advice Anna and Ali share for other couples resonates with many of our recent posts here on the blog and on our instagram:
So this is a real wedding with a difference. I’ve been scrolling through these stunning photos from Georgina and Kyle’s Buckinghamshire wedding, by York Place Studios, and it’s so inspiring to see how their day evolves.
There’s such a unique, beautiful story to be told – as with every wedding – and I love how you can really feel the emotions from excitement to nerves to joy to hilarity as day turns to evening. Georgina and Kyle had an amazing wedding. Documentary wedding photographers York Place Studios captured it brilliantly, and with a focus on people and personalities and connection, their images offer a different take on how a wedding unfolds. Because a wedding isn’t a visual leap from the aisle to the confetti to the reception to the dance floor. It’s a million moments in-between all of those.
Unusually, let’s start today’s gorgeous wedding blog with a fun fact: Tony proposed to Kian after gifting her a sky dive for her birthday. He tandem jumped first at 15,000 feet and then Kian followed. As Kian landed Tony was on one knee with a gorgeous ring. He had a videographer jump from the plane with Kian and captured the whole thing on video!
The wedding day was possibly a less adrenaline-filled occasion, but full of heart and soul. With images beautifully captured by Lake District wedding photographer Mark Battista, the couple celebrated with their closest family, ending the evening in their wedding outfits and slippers playing board games and eating cheese in their cosy, intimate and charming country house venue. It sounds utterly perfect.
Two amazing bridal looks. A gorgeous groom and stunning bride. Hundreds of really squeezy hugs, smiles and happy tears. Fabulous florals and a packed out, riotous dance floor. Incredible images to remember it all by… today’s wedding is perfection.
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!
