Steph & Lee – Millbridge Court Wedding

SLAutumn wedding at Millbridge Court

What a Millbridge Court wedding this was! Oh gosh Steph and Lee, I don’t know if I will ever forget these two, sometimes you meet people in life and they just make your heart sing. The pair of them have got to be the kindest souls on Earth, always checking the other is ok, always putting others first and ensuring myself (!) and their guests had everything they need.  It was an emotional day (like most weddings) but for other reasons too and it meant it took some strength on Steph’s part to get through it. I needn’t have worried, Steph is the toughest lady and reigned supreme on being the most beautiful, perfect bride. Seeing her coming down the aisle by herself sent shivers down my spine, let alone Lee’s I’m sure.

We started the day getting ready at their venue, Millbridge Court, in Frensham. I’m so grateful to be a recommended supplier there, not only is it a stunning place to work, it often means I get to work alongside fellow suppliers from their list too. Here I must mention the glorious Olivia, who is someone you’d be lucky to have as part of your day, she is incredibly talented and so chilled and lovely to be around. I mean just look at Steph’s ponytail! So special we named her Penny! :) Steph and Lee also had the ever fabulous Hannah Berry Flowers, from this post you really don’t need me to say more. There is a reason I chose her for my wedding!

Back to the day itself, gorgeous Steph wore an Anna Kara gown from Miss Bush, a dress that honestly was made for her. So gorgeous, I think it had the most comments on my social feeds out of any dresses I’d shared before! Just as they deserved, the beautiful Autumnal sunshine made itself known and we made the most of it! The whole day was one that I didn’t want to end, and shortly before I said farewell, the bridal & groom parties and I lit a few sparklers to end the day on a high. (NB Millbridge does not permit sparklers in their venue garden, so please be aware we left the grounds to light these safely!)

Choosing just a few photos for this post became an impossible task, so instead I’ve shared the previews which show a little of the story of each part of this very special day. Thank you Steph & Lee from the bottom of my heart for choosing me, I hope we’ll remain friends long into the future…xxx

The Old Rectory Estate Wedding

Oh this wedding! This was the third year in a row that I’d got to spend the day with lovely Laura and Emory. The last two years had seen me photograph Laura’s lovely sister Danielle’s wedding to Tim which was split across two dates thanks to you know what. But thankfully I absolutely love Laura’s family so it was certainly no loss hanging out with them again this Summer!

Preparations began at Laura’s folks’ house, a stunning home not far from the pretty St Nicholas Church in Godstone where they had their ceremony. Laura’s mum made her stunning wedding dress, as she had done for Dani previously. I must say there is no end to Rose’s talents! It was utterly perfect and Laura looked incredible in it. It was, as is fast becoming the norm, a very hot day, but let’s face it, wall to wall sunshine is far better in a venue such as this than rain.

This was my first visit to the incredible Old Rectory Estate, what a place! It is the most unique venue I’ve ever photographed at and has hidden gems throughout. Needless to say I dragged poor Laura & Emory around each area of the grounds since it was just so beautiful everywhere. Thankfully they put up with me and I am so happy we did, the results are so pretty!

It was a day filled with the best atmosphere, everyone was upbeat, and totally up for a party – the best kind of wedding. Here are some of my favourite photos as they wedding preview, only 700 or so more photos to edit! Can’t wait to get stuck in and share this lovely gallery with them soon. Thanks for having me Emory & Laura! I wish you nothing but happiness for the future xx

High Billinghurst Farm Wedding

After many years I finally made a return to High Billinghurst Farm for Molly & Henry’s wedding in early September. It’s funny how you always ‘forget’ how beautiful late Summer light is, despite being on this planet for 38 years (feeling old now!) and shooting weddings for over 10 years. Each season I hope my couples have lovely weather on their wedding day, but deep down you hope they can just enjoy the outside space of their venue too. Well, we can quite happily say Molly & Henry were blessed with the best of both worlds!

I did a styled shoot at High Billinghurst Farm that was featured on Love My Dress a few years ago and fell in love. I was lucky enough to be placed on the recommended supplier list and I’m so excited to be heading back again this Summer. Back to these two though and their stunning day, filled with incredible flowers by favourite of mine, Kate Avery Flowers.

I greeted Henry and his guests and we waited for Molly to arrive with her entourage of maids. SUCH beautiful dresses but Molly truly did steal the show. I recall being asked by Molly at one point if ‘she looked alright’ – I think it would be very remiss of me to say she was probably the most stunning bride I’d ever photographed. I ADORE brides with their hair down, I know it’s a risk with weather but it looked so relaxed and gorgeous all day.

The whole day was celebrated at the barn, food was incredible by the fab Caper & Berry, and the beautiful ceremony was by Humanist Celebrant, Miranda who is just so much fun. It had a vibe of ultimate chill, coupled with class and sophistication, a truly wonderful day to be a part of. Below are some previews from this stunning High Billinghurst Farm wedding. Thank you Molly & Henry for being such a lovely couple to work with! x
