Hannah Brooke Photography Archives

I can’t even begin to tell you how utterly adorable today’s blog is! It’s an absolute treat to be sharing this gorgeous inspiration with you… and a glance at Hannah Brookes‘ photos will tell you why.

The images are stunning, the styling just perfect, the light and photography out of this world. There are sustainable elements which we LOVE: the flowers are locally sourced, seasonal blooms for a summer wedding. The mix of colour and texture in the bouquet is wonderful. The floral chandelier and archway are just incredible!

It’s really important to say that we share styled photoshoots to help if you’re looking for ideas. You’ll find inspiration here, but we encourage you to interpret the look in a way that works for you and your budget. Take little ideas from the looks created by the team on the day – and of course, if you’re looking for wedding suppliers in Yorkshire do check out the talents in our supplier list!

“This is classic English country garden wedding inspiration with a romantic and whimsical twist.

We wanted to create big, showstopping floral centrepieces using seasonal and locally sourced flowers, and we felt that Sedgewell Barn was the perfect, blank canvas backdrop.

We wanted to show what is possible to style in the space and provide real wedding inspo to engaged couples.

Birdcages and Dragonflies provided all of the furniture, styled everything to perfection AND brought a graze platter to boot.

Our couple, Rebecca and Rob are a real couple, married in real life in 2020.

Rebecca wore a beautiful gown from Treasured Brides, complimented by Rob’s suit from Haworth Menswear.

The cake with the most stunning and intricate sugar flowers was provided by Folia Cake Design, who of course brought some cake for us to sample and we confirm it is delicious!

The star of the show was the venue’s very own confetti pony – Pedro! Happy to pose for the camera and fully aware of his own fabulousness! What a genius idea for the confetti baskets!”

Romantic and whimsical English country barn inspiration

By Claire Gould, 4 yearsJune 29, 2022 ago

I’d elope. I’ve never shied away from saying this: if I got married right now, I’d elope. Easy. There’s just something wildly romantic about it being just the two of you (plus an amazing celebrant and lovely photographer, obvs) – and escaping into remote nature to say beautiful words – it’s my dream. So today’s glorious feature comes from stunning couple Matthew and Jane, with lovely Hannah Brooke Photography. I hope you’ll adore this as much as I do.

Matthew and Jane met 4 years ago whilst Matthew was in his penultimate year at university. Although they both attended the same university, their paths didn’t cross until after Jane had graduated. A chance encounter over university accommodation for a friend of Jane’s was the first time they met. They chatted and realized they had been at the same university for a number of years, had mutual friends, hung out in the same buildings but never once saw each other (Matthew says seeing Jane’s face is something he would have never forgotten!)

Though their meeting was far from conventional, they exchanged numbers, went for a drink to discuss the accommodation….and the rest was history!

They had loads of adventures together, culminating in the biggest adventure of all; when Matthew asked Jane to marry him on New Year’s Eve 2019 at Liverpool Waterfront.

They planned the wedding for November 2020, and we all know what happened in 2020! That said, restrictions were easing by the autumn so they planned to go ahead with just 15 guests and had to scramble to rearrange their wedding in 3 days before the November lockdown started!

Since they never got to experience a full wedding, they accepted an unexpected offer from our original decorator @sweetpea_and_ivy to model in their beautiful themed wedding shoot earlier this year. They loved every second of it and decided to embark on this new adventure together where they could showcase the amazing talent of lots of different suppliers in the wonderful wedding industry!
