If there’s one ‘trend’ coming through weddings over the last year, it’s authenticity. You’ll find it in your styling and decor, in your outfits and most of all in your wedding photography. Having an authentic, natural wedding means being yourselves. Having every moment reflect who you really are as a couple: from choosing what you wear to creating a ‘look’ for your tables – if just one guest says, “I love it: it’s so YOU” – then you’ve nailed it. Authentic wedding photography means you get to keep that feeling forever. It’s why Sophie and Chris chose documentary wedding photographers York Place Studios to capture their wedding at High Billinghurst Farm.

I like to feature something a little special on a Friday – the day deserves extra happiness as we finish the working week… and so Ahram and Tom’s wedding is just perfect to share today. This gorgeous pair were married in Surrey last summer and their day is elegant, romantic and beautiful.

How did you choose your photographer?

We searched on Instagram.

Were you pleased with your wedding photographer? Do tell… we love a brilliant review!

We were very pleased with Charlie and his two colleagues. The photos are absolutely amazing. We wanted to avoid cheesy posed photos, preferring candid ones that showed our personalities, and since he specialises in that style Charlie was the natural choice.

Did you see Hannah and Alex’s wedding rehearsal on the blog yesterday? I’m still in love with that pretty sunflower dress… which was a clue to all the sunflower loveliness coming up on English Wedding today! Theirs was a wedding weekend following American traditions but celebrated over two days at Great Fosters in Surrey – and our lovely friend Amanda Karen Photography was there to capture it all!

Pinterest fingers ready my lovelies, for a feast of sunflowers, summer blooms and fairy lights – and one of the prettiest backless wedding dresses I’ve ever seen! Huge congratulations to a happy and amazing couple – Hannah & Alex, you’re so good together and we LOVE your wedding!

I know so many of you will be having a wedding weekend this summer – it’s THE biggest trend in weddings this year, and a fabulous way to squeeze in a little more precious time with your nearest and dearest. So I am excited to be (virtually) spending this weekend in the company of gorgeous couple Hannah and Alex, who were married at Great Fosters in Surrey and celebrated over two amazing August days. Their wedding weekend is beautifully captured by our fabulous friends and Essex wedding photographers Amanda Karen Photography.

The floral styling is superb for today’s wedding – say hi to beautiful Laura & gorgeous Kevan who married at High Billinghurst Farm last summer. They were blessed with gloriously hot weather for their celebrations in the Sussex countryside – and while tipis were set up nearby, the temperatures meant their dream of a woodland wedding was destined to come true.
