A Year in Review: Capturing Love Stories in 2023!

A Year in Review: Capturing Love Stories in 2023!

Hampshire wedding photographer

It’s that fabulous time of year again when I get to look back and reflect on the past 365 days and how grateful I am for all of my wonderful couples who put their trust in me to capture their most precious of memories. 42 wedding couples, countless families, babies and even a puppy have made this year extra meaningful and emotional for me so for that, I’m truly thankful.

Below I’ve picked one of each wedding plus a few extra favourites (can you spot you??) Thank you for all of the laughter, the tears and the friendships I made this year with so many of my wonderful clients; I really do seem to get the loveliest people. Thank you for continuing to book me and for allowing me to do this job that I love after all these years. I really can’t do anything else so many more please!! 🙂

Big shout out to all of my incredible wedding photographer friends and wedding vendor buddies; I see how hard you all work and how much you love your clients and your job. Cheers to you and roll on 2024!!

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.

Here’s the wonderful gang who worked on the day with me:

Clock Barn Wedding – Charlotte & Alex

Clock Barn Wedding – Charlotte & Alex

O my, what a beauty! I’m so excited to share with you some of my favourite photos from Charlotte & Alex’s absolutely GORGEOUS Clock Barn wedding! It’s no secret Clock Barn is one of my favourite venues so I’m very lucky to get to shoot lots of weddings there every year. I never get tired of seeing what the magical gardeners have done with the grounds every time I arrive as something different and colourful is always new and in bloom!

The bridesmaids wore beautiful pink dresses which complimented perfectly the pink and purple wild flowers which Charlotte carried down the aisle. The wonderful florists at Eden Blooms put spectacular bunches together in pretty green glasses vases which were dotted around the barn and on the dinner tables which completed the wonderful, colourful and summery look. I also loved how many people were excited to see Charlotte dressed and ready in her gorgeous dress, and there were more than just a few tears shed!

Weddings often use white drapes behind the registrar during the vows however Charlotte & Alex chose a pink drape which looked absolutely brilliant! If you’re getting married at Clock Barn I would definitely encourage you to consider a colour drape as it really tied in all the decor together well.

Despite a somewhat iffy weather forecast, the day stayed dry and warm, as guests enjoyed canapes and drinks outside and among the flowers, before moving inside for speeches and delicious food. When it came to the dancing, Ashley Riggs packed out the dance floor with great music and as I left, everyone was laughing and throwing their best moves. Such a brilliant day, thank you so much for having me along!

Hampshire Wedding – Emma & Mike

Hampshire Wedding – Emma & Mike

Hampshire wedding

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!

Wedding at Clock Barn – Becky & Cody

Wedding at Clock Barn – Becky & Cody

Clock Barn

Last Saturday I was back at my favourite Hampshire barn – the glorious Clock Barn for Becky & Cody’s fabulous wedding. After getting ready in the cottages surrounding Oakley Hall in Basingstoke, Becky & Cody tied the knot at All Hallows Church in Whitchurch in front of their nearest and dearest before exiting through a sea of confetti and on towards Clock Barn.

Clock Barn was absolutely bursting with pretty summer flowers by the very talented Garden Inn florist, and giant ‘Love’ letters lit up the dance floor as guests explored the gorgeous gardens and delicious canapes. Despite the weather promising pouring rain all week we were so lucky with perfect weather and sunshine as we strolled around the grounds taking their couple shots before all going in for a wonderful 4 course meal. They also had a gorgeous wedding cake by the super talented Reilly Cakes… see if you can spot the Harry Potter reference!

Absolutely PERFECT day guys, thank you so much for choosing me to capture it for you. Here are a few teasers to keep you going before the full set is ready! Thank you too to Holly who shot alongside me for part of the day as well.
