ELMLEY NATURE RESERVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | BARN WEDDING | CREATIVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Paddy and Jo got married at the AMAZING Barn Wedding Venue, Elmley Nature Reserve. In the middle of a Nature Reserve in the most stunning of British scenery lies a farm with a couple of cottages and an Empty barn. What Paddy and Jo did to this venue was really quite spectacular!!! They turned a shell of a building into the most gorgeous rustic wedding venue with flowers, wooden chairs and wooden tree stumps that they had chopped themselves! When I arrived Paddy was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches to their wedding cake – which smelt AMAZING – it was then that he pulled me aside to tell me about a VERY special surprise present he had for Jo… the plan was to surprise her after everyone had eaten in the evening… I won’t ruin the surprise JUST YET! Jo and her twin sister Mandi arrived from the hairdressers looking beautiful! Now for the next hour or so it was ALL hands on deck to get all the finishing touches done to the barn, and the outside area they had, I have honestly never seen a bride and groom (and their wedding party) work so hard the morning of their wedding to produce the setting for their wedding day! Jo got pulled to sit down to have her make up done, so from her make up seat she was delegating all the remaining tasks. Finally the champagne was poured and everyone began to relax and get excited about the fact IT WAS THEIR WEDDING DAY!!! FINALLY!!! Jo looked absolutely STUNNING in her backless Allure lace dress, with beautiful sequin detail. They had a beautiful ceremony led by a wonderful celebrant who made their ceremony truly unique and personal. They had planned for a super relaxed rest of the day to catch up properly with their family and friends, Paddy was due to be head chef of their BBQ, so whilst everyone enjoyed the sunshine and cocktails he was behind the grill making sure their guests were fed delicous food! Luckily, I manage to steal Paddy and Jo away from the grill a couple of times to get some beautiful photos of them in this gorgeous location and also i got some time with just Jo and her bridesmaids which I absolutely LOVED!!! Then came Paddy’s surprise. Jo and her sister were ushered into the barn where everybody had sat to eat as the temperature got a little cooler outside. Paddy got his surprise ready and began his impromptu speech…. I’m not going to spoil the surprise either so you guy are just going to have to take a look through the photos below to find out what he got her – HEHE! Thank you Jo and Paddy for choosing me to be your wedding photographer! I absolutely LOVED working with you guys! EEEEK – Here are your wedding photos!!! xxx
