Medley Walled Garden | Carrie & Eric
Medley Walled Garden Wedding Photography Medley Walled Garden lies on the western edge of Oxford, right beside the River Thames. Part of Medley Manor Farm, one of only three working farms in Oxford, which is well known locally for its pick-your-own soft fruits and vegetables. The walled garden, as a wedding venue and the Medley bar next to it, an open-air bar with pizzas, form further offshoots of this family-run farm. This was the location for locals Carrie and Eric to hold their wedding day in May. Open-Air wedding in May With the bridal prep taking place in a rented…

Llantilio House | Grace & Nathan
Llantilio House wedding Monmouthshire, Wales and a Spring wedding for Grace and Nathan at the relatively new venue, and very impressive, Llantilio House. A Grade II listed farmhouse with a big barn for the wedding meal and dancing, and a cosy Calf Shed for a wedding ceremony. Surrounded by open fields, quiet and with views of both local landmarks, Sugar Loaf and the Skirrid. A wedding that all took place at the same venue. No driving from A to B to C. Situated between Abergavenny and Monmouth, Llantilio House has been very beautifully restored as a luxurious wedding venue. I’ve…

Wedding in Greece : Day Three
The after-wedding party Drag queens, something new at a wedding party that I’ve shot. Technically, the after-wedding party, day three of wedding celebrations on the island of Tinos. Back to the beach, at the Odera hotel, in the afternoon, for a ceremony amidst fake ruined Greek columns and two thrones, there was an ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses theme. Most guests had packed a fancy dress costume in the style of Bacchus, Eros and many “I’ve no idea who they are…” Drinks in the shade first, and the wind had finally died down, which was really required for the plastic…

Wedding in Greece : Day Two
The wedding day Day Two for this wedding in Greece, on the island of Tinos. The ‘wedding day’ – a ceremony on the beach, and then a big party overlooking the sea. All at the five-star Odera Tinos hotel. The wind? It was still strong and unabating. It meant a bit of tweaking to the timing of the day. That and ensuring there was another light at the end of the ceremony. With Olia’s plan to arrive at the beach in a small, traditional fishing boat, it meant a few changes to the plan. The sea was choppy. Wedding Ceremony…

Wedding in Greece : Day One
Wedding in Greece: Day One A Destination wedding in Greece, on the Cycladic island of Tinos – a short ferry ride from the more famous holiday island of Mykonos. Three days of wedding celebration for Olia & Jeremy. They had done the legal ceremony, with a small reception, in London a few months previously. Every wedding has a budget; this one was massive! It was centred on the unique hotel, the Odera Tinos, part of the Marriott Autograph Collection. A five-star hotel built into the hill overlooking Vourni beach, with a view across to the island of Siros. Olia had…

Anna’s Garden | Annabel & Grace
Anna’s Garden Parties A new wedding venue in Chobham, Surrey, perfect for hosting relaxed festival or woodland-style wedding days. Anna’s Garden Parties, also known as Greener Grass Days, is a large area of garden and woodland space located near the centre of the village. It’s very private. As they say on one of their websites, this is a ‘secret garden party hire’. Located very centrally in this affluent part of Surrey Heath, just north of Woking, you would not know it was there if you were travelling along the adjacent High Street. Just a subtle wooden door in the high…

The Tithe Barn | Jo & Chris
The Tithe Barn Wedding The Tithe Barn in Ditcham, near Petersfield, Hampshire. A unique wedding venue in the South Downs National Park. The venue for Jo and Chris on a warm day in July. Now, this wedding is unique for one reason, but I’ll leave that until the end of this post… I’ve shot weddings in many old barns over the years – such as Cissbury, Southend, Farbridge, Fitzleroi, Upwaltham, Long Furlong, Brookfield, Clock Barn, Gate Street, The Oak Barn, Cherry Barn, Pangdean Old Barn and The Tythe Barn – but The Tithe Barn in Ditcham has to be the…
