Well, what a way to kick off the new year! Craig and George tied the knot at the ever awesome Cooling Castle Barn in Kent……incidentally, just 5 minutes from my front door, always a total bonus. There is something very special about Cooling Castle Barn, epic yet cozy, grand yet kicks out the chilled vibes.

Here we go peeps!! Jack and Ellie rocking the life out of The Beacon Wedding Venue in Tunbridge Wells. An utterly awesome day that had everything a wedding day should have in order to obtain the status of “legendary”. The Beacon at Tunbridge Wells has shot straight up the top of my ‘mega venues list’, a definite top 5!!

The very end of the busiest May I have ever experienced, busiest month ever actually, see me attend the wedding of Kane and Emily at the Ferry House. Barns and cottages, teary eyes and walks along the water front. Kane & Emily fully embraced the vibe of modern wedding-dom. There was not a single moment in this day that was not filled with fun and smiles.

Here we go….we start off a double whammy weekend of Ferry House mega-ness with the very amazing Martyn and Daisy. Its not a lie to say that the plans for this day had provided quite a bit of excitement in the prep…this was felt by everyone involved. With the help from the very awesome Idylic Days Event Hire Daisy and Martyn put together a day that was as gorgeously and elegantly styled as it was fun, relaxed and full of enjoyment.

I was lucky enough to be invited to some utterly banging parties at some amazing venues with some awesome people, just like this one. Jonathan and Lauren married at the always superb Cherry Barn in East Sussex in front of their nearest and dearest. Much love, jokes and happiness were shown throughout the day making for some awesome memories and very cool photos…..even if I do say so myself.

Continuing a jam packed June, my busiest month of 2023, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the incredible wedding of James and Sophie at the ever epic Elmley Nature Reserve on the Isle of Sheppey. Just half an hour from the M25, Elmley leaves you feeling a thousand miles from anywhere. Epic vistas for miles, the best bridal accommodation I have seen (designs and colour schemes that’d fit nicely in the Farrow and Ball brochure).

It’s been a short while since visiting this absolute Goliath of a wedding venue. The Great Lodge at Great Bardfield is right up there at the top of my all time fave venues list, it is a wedding photographers paradise, pics below for proof :) Richard and Kara’s whole approach in the build up, and throughout the day itself was to kick back and enjoy.

A very wonderful day was spent at the MEGA Salomons Estate this month, where Beth married George in completely restriction free surroundings woohoo!! My 1st visit back to Salomons Estate since mid 2019 (not that surprising given the recent circumstances haha).

Oh man am I buzzing to share this one. Very recently indeed I got to revisit the incredibly awesome Thames Rowing Club at Putney Bridge for the wedding of Ben and Steph. I have on many occasions claimed that the TRC was my absolute favourite venue in London….guess what…..I was NOT LYING lol!!

There is undoubtedly something completely awesome about Autumn weddings, I absolutely love them. I think there are many things actually, softer lighting, desaturated colours, the whole vibe of the day seems relaxed although the evening parties are always completely banging……getting darker earlier prompts everyone onto the dance floor.
