Get ready to be amazed! Grab your tea, take a seat, and prepare to be swept off your feet by the tale of Laura and Alex's magical wedding day at Mythe Barns! Picture this: on the 10th of October 2024, they embarked on their journey with my Fairytale Package, offering full-day coverage from the exciting prep moments to the unforgettable cake cutting and first dance. It's a story you won't want to miss!

Laura and Alex chose me to capture their October wedding way back in February, and let me tell you, it was an instant connection! Our Zoom meeting was filled with excitement and laughter as we bonded over everything wedding-related. But you know what really sealed the deal? Our mutual love for dogs! These two are as passionate about their furry friend as I am, and that's when I knew, being their photographer on the big day would be an absolute honour!
Mythe Barn had been a dream venue of mine to shoot at for the longest time, so you can imagine my excitement when I received a message the very next day after our initial consultation saying they wanted to book me!
The week leading up to the wedding was absolutely thrilling! Just like with every upcoming wedding, I was glued to the weather app, eagerly anticipating what Mother Nature had in store for us. We all know how unpredictable the UK weather can be, so it was a real nail-biter trying to forecast what was coming our way. Despite the dreadful weather forecasts and even rain/flood warnings in some parts of the country, my amazing couple defied the odds and had a spectacular dry day! The sun played peekaboo with us, trying to break through the clouds at every possible moment.
Let's jump into the day! Arriving at the stunning venue filled me with excitement and eagerness to kick off the festivities! What a delight to discover that Mythe Barn was available for my couple to start decorating with their autumnal touches a day early, thanks to no wedding the day before. And let's not forget about my amazing bride, the DIY QUEEN herself, adding her personal touch to the decor for the big day! Her efforts truly lightened the load and reduced stress on this special occasion. Stepping into the barn after capturing some breathtaking shots outside, I was warmly welcomed by Laura's wonderful mum and bridesmaid putting the final touches on the ceremony room. After capturing some stunning images of the picturesque Mythe Barn, I made my way upstairs to find Laura.


I rushed upstairs to the bridal prep room and there was Laura, gracefully getting ready with her maid of honour, bridesmaid, and mum! The air was buzzing with excitement, yet there was this serene and tranquil vibe all around. Let me tell you, that's the IDEAL ambiance to get you ready for the most eventful day ahead! The girls were absolutely radiant as they got ready with the amazing assistance of their Hairstylist! I eagerly dashed off to capture all the exquisite details like perfume, rings, jewellery, and of course, the stunning dress!


After capturing all the magical moments of bridal prep, I made my way downstairs to prepare for the start of the ceremony. The anticipation was rife as Laura was gracefully escorted down the aisle by her wonderful brother - a heartwarming moment that truly encapsulated the bond between siblings. And then, the ceremony commenced! It was an absolutely breathtaking sight to witness, filled with laughter, tender glances, and pure love between Laura and Alex. As they sealed their vows with a kiss, the entire room erupted with joyous cheers! The signing of the register, the triumphant walk back down the aisle as newlyweds, and the celebrations that followed marked the beginning of their journey as Husband and Wife. It was a day filled with love, happiness, and unforgettable memories!



We kicked off the celebrations with an exciting confetti walk! The newlywed couple soaked up all the love and hugs from their family, followed by fabulous group shots and stunning couple portraits. Even a little rain tried to join the party, but it quickly backed off, leaving us to enjoy the festivities to the max! And then came the highlight - the wedding breakfast! While the guests indulged in delicious food, I took a moment to recharge, grab a bite, and prep my camera for more unforgettable moments ahead. With the speeches rounding off this magical day, every moment was pure joy and love!



As the evening began to draw in, it was finally time for the cake cut and the first dance! I always make sure to stay for one more song after the first dance to capture some amazing shots of the family tearing up the dance floor! And just like that, my night came to a close. I left Laura and Alex dancing the night away with their loved ones and headed straight home to back up all the precious memories before hitting the hay!


Being a part of their wedding day was truly an honour - thank you both once again for choosing me!
