Lucy & Jerome’s Floral Wedding at Upwaltham Barns
What a fantastic day it was capturing Lucy and Jerome’s wedding at the beautifully floral Upwaltham Barns this summer! With the barn filled with blooms and personal touches everywhere, it was a day that truly reflected their style—relaxed, creative, and full of love. Upwaltham Barns is always an incredible venue, but when you add Lucy’s unique vision to the mix, it takes everything to another level. From her hand-painted floral dress to the giant paper flowers she created herself, every detail was thoughtfully crafted and perfectly suited to the stunning surroundings.
I began the day with Lucy, Jerome & their besties at a nearby airbnb, which was the perfect party house for everyone to get ready in and relax berore the day ahead. Lucy’s dress was absolutely stunning—an incredible hand-painted floral gown that was not only beautiful but perfectly reflected her artistic flair. The flowers were delicately painted in bright, colourful tones, and the sleeves….O my the sleeves!!! Big heart eye emoji!
The ceremony was held in the gorgeous barn, which was transformed into a floral wonderland. Although they had a registrar for the legal bit, the main ceremony was held by Lucy’s best friend and bridesmaid, making everything said that little bit extra special and personal.
After the ceremony, the drinks reception was held in the courtyard, in the sunshine, where we captured their family photos and couples shots amongst the colourful floral backdrops and rolling hills.
The party went exactly as you’d imagine, with a bang! This crowd absolutely knew how to party and the band did not disappoint. One of my favourite weddings of the year, well done for totally nailing it my loves!

Hampshire wedding at Clock Barn
Ahhh could Sophie & Ben nailed their Clock Barn wedding any more?! What an absolutely perfect summer wedding from start to finish.
Clock Barn is always one of my favourite venues – with it’s gorgeous gardens, incredible food and wonderfully helpful staff…and this day was no exception! Sophie & Ben are just the most lovely bundles of joy to be around, and I can honestly say my cheeks ached from smiling after I left!
For a start we had the most perfect summer weather – that kind of hot but not too hot hot, which everyone getting married in July hopes for. The always manicured gardens were absolutely bursting with colour, which offset Sophie soft, peaches and light pinks bouquets perfectly. The girls got ready in the prep room, before excitedly venturing over to the main barn where they both said their vows. The afternoon seemed to go by in a flash, with everyone mingling and chatting on the lawn, enjoying their canapes in the sunshine. We did our usual lap of the grounds, taking some gorgeous couple shots and taking in the beautiful scenery.
When dinner was ready, everyone went inside for a wonderful three course meal and some very moving and heartfelt speeches. Of course a summer wedding wouldn’t be a summer wedding without some evening sunset couple shots, and the golden hour light didn’t disappoint! An absolute belter of a day, well done team! What a pleasure.

O how good it felt to be back at Clock Barn in Hampshire finally! And certainly back with a bang for Kimberley & Tim’s most glorious day. This was the first wedding where I’ve had the chance to photograph the new prep room called The Stables – a gorgeous converted stable room beside the main barn with plenty of space and large mirrors for everyone to get ready comfortably and safely hidden away. The barn was decorated by one of my favourite florists – Owen from Little Lillies with a showstopping floral circle arch which made an incredible backdrop during their vows. Kim’s bridesmaids wore dark purple dresses which also looked beautiful alongside the soft purple roses and succulents.
Due to a few on going restrictions, the reception had to be seated however the sun shone and everyone enjoyed chatting and drinking on the new benches in the paddock field. Kim & Tim provided some lawn games including space hopper horses which was just about the best thing I’ve ever seen. It was also wonderful to see Amanda from Reilly cakes again after all this time, check out her beautiful creation further down.
As the sun started to set Kim & Tim had their first dance outside whilst the band Gentlemen of the Road played, and everyone got to relax, with a drink in hand, listening to fantastic tunes and nibble of pizza. What could possibly be better?
A gorgeous day and a truly gorgeous couple, I’m so, so happy you got to have your day in the end and it was magnificent. Happy, happy wedding!

Ahhhh what a joy it was to photograph these absolute babes yesterday at their autumn Clock Barn wedding! As soon as I met Katie & Freya for their engagement shoot back in the summer I knew we’d have so much fun together and that their wedding would be ridiculous amounts of amazing… and boy was I right!
Katie & Freya come with the most wonderful bunch of friends and family – right from when we arrived Emma and I were made to feel incredibly welcome and like part of the family. Both brides had 4 bridesmaids each and a best man (a symmetry I most enjoyed during the group photos!) and all got ready at either Clock Barn or Norton Park just down the road. Both ladies were proudly walked down the aisle by their Fathers as everyone watched on in the big main barn, before walking outside to a sea of confetti. Although it rained off an on all day (bit of a theme lately), the girls braved the weather and we went out for couples photos regardless – in fact they were so elated I think they barely noticed the rain.
The venue was alive with flowers by the super talented ladies at The Blooming Workshop and the food by Galloping Gourmet was excellent as usual. Yesterday was a wonderful day in every way – wonderful people, wonderful venue and of course, the most wonderful brides <3
Thank you SO much for having Emma & I along, we had the most gorgeous day. Here are a few photos to keep you going before the full set is completed. Lots of love to you both!

I’ve been a wedding photographer for nearly 15 years now and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve seen two people more in love than Emma & Mike. Ever. For reals. These two wonderful human beings got married at the glorious Clock Barn in Hampshire on Friday in front of a crowd of extremely loving friends and family, and it was an absolute pleasure to witness.
I don’t think I’ve seen two people laugh quite so much all day either; in fact it was infectious. They say the sun shines on the righteous and despite heavy rain being forecast all day we had a dry spell in exactly the part of the day we needed it, so were able to take the couple photos they wanted and family photos outside. What luck! What a perfect day.
You’re both incredibly special people, thank you so much for having Holly and I along for the ride. Mwah!
