JONO & SAM Featured at The Willow Marsh Farm, East Leake Jono & Sam A spring wedding at The Willow marsh farm TO VIEW THE preview GALLERY CLICK – HERE A Joyful Spring Wedding at Willow Marsh Farm, East Leake If you’re dreaming of a stylish, countryside celebration with a relaxed atmosphere and thoughtful details, this Willow Marsh Farm wedding might be just the inspiration you need. Set in the heart of East Leake, Willow Marsh Farm is a breathtaking, rural wedding venue in Nottinghamshire known for its organic charm and laid-back elegance. As a UK wedding photographer who specialises in capturing weddings at country houses, farms, and elegant outdoor venues, I was thrilled to return here for a spring celebration that brought joy, sunshine and a whole lot of cricket. The Morning: Black Tie Meets Country Chic The couple embraced a classic black-tie aesthetic, with the groom and groomsmen dressed in sharp black tuxedos – a striking contrast to the rustic setting of the farm. The bride wore a timeless traditional gown, full of grace and romance. Her bridesmaids added a joyful splash of colour to the day with bright pink silk dresses – the perfect nod to spring and complimented the flowers with a bursting blossom. A Ceremony Bathed in Light The ceremony was held in the beautifully restored stables at Willow Marsh Farm. As sunlight streamed through the wooden slats and poured over the couple, the room filled with an almost cinematic glow – a photographer’s dream. It’s one of the many reasons I love photographing weddings at Willow Marsh Farm, where every corner offers incredible natural light and countryside charm. If you’re currently exploring rustic wedding venues in the Midlands, Willow Marsh Farm is a gem worth visiting. Learn more here: Willow Marsh Farm Weddings Post-Ceremony Fun: Canapés & Cricket After the ceremony, guests gathered on the lawn with champagne and canapés in hand. The energy was high, and in a spontaneous and utterly joyful moment, the groomsmen convinced the bride to join in a game of cricket. It was informal, unexpected and such a lovely reflection of the couple’s fun-loving nature. These are the moments I live for – the in-between, unscripted glances and laughter that tell the real story of the day. Lakeside Strolls and Sunset Light Before guests were called in for the wedding breakfast, we took a gentle stroll to the lake for some quiet portraits – a peaceful interlude before the festivities resumed. The light danced off the water, creating soft reflections and allowing us to capture some of the most romantic moments of the day. As guests enjoyed speeches from the father of the bride, the groom, and not one but two best men (who had everyone in stitches with their cheeky stories), the sun began to lower. Just after dinner, we headed out for a relaxed sunset couple shoot – the golden light casting a warm, ethereal glow across the fields and long grass. Evening Celebrations: Dancing, Pizza, Cigars & Sparklers After a joyful first dance and a packed dance floor, guests were treated to fresh wood-fired pizza – an ideal way to refuel before the evening party kicked off. In true gentlemanly style, the groom and his party stepped aside for a quiet moment to enjoy a selection of fine cigars – a classy nod to old-world elegance in the most relaxed, countryside setting. Just when it felt like the night couldn’t get any better, the couple invited their guests outside once more for a sparkler exitunder the stars. Surrounded by laughter, glowing faces and flickering lights, it was a joyful and heartwarming end to a truly unforgettable Willow Marsh Farm wedding. Why I Love Photographing at Willow Marsh Farm This venue strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and elegant style, making it ideal for couples who want a relaxed yet sophisticated countryside celebration. From sunlit ceremonies in the stables to lakeside strolls and golden hour portraits in the open fields, a Willow Marsh Farm wedding gives you everything you need for a visually stunning and joy-filled day.

A well-structured schedule ensures that you get the best lighting, the most relaxed portraits, and seamless coverage of your entire day. Whether you’re planning a luxury wedding at a country house, a chic city celebration, or an intimate church ceremony, having the right timeline in place is key. Why Is a Wedding Photography Timeline Important? A well-planned timeline helps to avoid rushed photos, missed moments, and unnecessary stress. It allows your photographer to capture all the essential details—getting ready shots, the first look, the ceremony, golden hour portraits, and the reception—all without feeling hurried. The Ideal Wedding Photography Timeline Here’s a detailed breakdown of an ideal wedding day timeline, ensuring you get the best photos throughout the day: 1. Bridal & Groom Preparations – 2 Hours Recommended Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (for a 2:00 PM ceremony)Your wedding photography coverage typically starts with the getting-ready moments. The bridal party and groom’s party prep shots are essential for storytelling. Having ample time here ensures detailed shots of the dress, accessories, candid laughter, and final touches before heading to the ceremony. Key Shots: Bridal hair & makeup Flat lays (rings, invitations, shoes, accessories) Bridesmaids & groomsmen getting ready First look with parents or bridesmaids 2. First Look – 30 to 45 Minutes Recommended Time: 12:30 PM – 1:15 PM A first look is a private moment between the a bride and her bridesmaids/father before the ceremony. Not only does this create an intimate memory for dad, but it also allows for portraits before guests arrive. Key Shots: First look reactions Father daughter pictures Individual bride & groom portraits 3. Wedding Ceremony – 30 to 60 Minutes Recommended Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PMThe ceremony is one of the most significant parts of the day, whether in a grand church, a stately manor, or a modern rooftop venue. Ensure your photographer has clear access to capture the vows, ring exchange, and the first kiss. Key Shots: Bride’s entrance Groom’s reaction Exchange of vows and rings First kiss & confetti exit 4. Group & Family Portraits – 30 to 45 Minutes Recommended Time: 3:30 PM – 4:15 PMOnce the ceremony is over, it’s time for a selection of formal group portraits.

Couple’s Portraits (Golden Hour) – 20 to 30 Minutes Recommended Time: 6:00 PM – 6:30 PMGolden hour—shortly before sunset—offers the dreamiest light for soft, romantic wedding portraits. This is an ideal moment for newlywed shots that feel cinematic and elegant. Key Shots: Intimate couple moments Silhouettes & sunset backdrops Movement shots (walking, veil flowing, champagne popping!) 6. Reception & First Dance – 1 to 2 Hours Recommended Time: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PMAs the evening unfolds, your photographer will document the reception details, speeches, and your magical first dance. If you have planned a sparkler exit or fireworks, schedule a moment to capture these stunning visuals. Key Shots: Reception decor & tablescapes First dance & candid guest moments Cake cutting & toasts Evening entertainment & party shots Pro Tips for a Stress-Free Wedding Photography Timeline Consult Your Photographer Early – Your photographer can help structure the day efficiently to maximise photography opportunities.

Consider a Second Photographer – This allows for multiple angles and simultaneous coverage of both partners’ preparations. Final Thoughts A well-planned wedding photography timeline ensures your special day is captured beautifully, without stress or rushed moments.

Important Questions To Ask your Wedding Photographer
Important Questions to Ask Your Wedding Photographer What are the vital questions you need to ask your photographer? Important Questions to Ask Your Wedding Photographer: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW – Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life, and choosing the right photographer is crucial in ensuring those memories are beautifully captured. A professional wedding photographer doesn’t just take photos; they tell your story through stunning imagery. To help you make the right choice, here are the most important questions to ask before booking your wedding photographer. 1. Are You Available on My Wedding Date? Before diving into the details, confirm their availability. The best wedding photographers get booked up quickly, sometimes years in advance. If your preferred photographer isn’t available, ask if they can recommend a trusted colleague. 2. What Is Your Photography Style? Every wedding photographer has a unique style. Some specialise in documentary wedding photography, capturing candid moments as they unfold. Others prefer traditional, posed portraits or fine art photography with a more dramatic, editorial approach. Reviewing their portfolio will help determine if their aesthetic matches your vision. 3. Have You Shot Weddings at My Venue Before? Whist it is great for a photographer to have already visited your venue before it isn’t always necessary. This is due to the abundance of imagery online and also changing seasons from visit dates and shooting dates. Also, with the amount of wedding venues I work at it would be impossible to visit. 4. What’s Included in Your Wedding Photography Packages? Wedding photography packages vary widely. Some include full-day coverage, a second photographer, engagement shoots, albums, and digital files. Ask for a breakdown of what’s included so you can compare with other photographers and ensure it aligns with your needs. 5. Do You Have Backup Equipment and a Contingency Plan? A professional wedding photographer should always have backup cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment in case of technical failures. It’s also essential to ask about their backup plan in case of illness or an emergency. 6. How Many Weddings Have You Photographed? Experience matters when it comes to wedding photography. A seasoned photographer will know how to handle tricky lighting situations, fast-moving moments, and unexpected challenges on the day. 7. Can We See a Full Wedding Gallery? While Instagram and websites showcase a photographer’s best work, a full wedding gallery gives a more comprehensive view of their skills. This will show how they capture details, portraits, group shots, and spontaneous moments from start to finish. 8. How Do You Handle Group Shots and Family Portraits? Group shots are an essential part of any wedding album, but they can be time-consuming if not well-organised. Ask how your photographer manages them to ensure efficiency while keeping them natural and fun. 9. What’s Your Approach to Candid Photography? Many couples love the authenticity of documentary-style wedding photography, where real emotions and spontaneous interactions are captured. Ask how your photographer balances candid moments with formal shots. 10. How Long Will It Take to Receive Our Photos? Turnaround times vary. Some wedding photographers deliver a sneak peek within a few days, while full galleries can take 6-12 weeks. Clarify expectations, especially if you’re eager to share your images soon after the wedding. 11. Do You Offer Albums and Prints? While digital galleries are convenient, professionally printed albums and framed prints are timeless keepsakes. Ask about the options available for physical products and if they are included in your package or available as an add-on. 12. What Are Your Payment Terms and Cancellation Policy? Understanding the payment structure is vital. Ask about deposit requirements, when the final balance is due, and what happens in case of cancellation or rescheduling. 13. Can You Provide Client Testimonials? Reviews and testimonials from previous couples can give insight into their experience with the photographer. Look for consistent positive feedback about professionalism, communication, and quality of work. 14. Will You Be the One Shooting Our Wedding? Some photography studios have multiple photographers, so it’s essential to confirm who will be capturing your wedding day. If there’s a team, ask about their experience and style to ensure consistency. 15. Do You Offer Engagement Shoots? Engagement sessions are a great way to build rapport with your photographer and get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. It also allows you to experience their shooting style firsthand. Final Thoughts Asking the right questions will help you find a wedding photographer who aligns with your vision and ensures your special day is documented beautifully. Take your time to review portfolios, discuss your expectations, and choose someone who makes you feel comfortable and excited about your wedding photography.

Micro Wedding Advantages for 2025
Advantages of Micro Wedding Packages in 2025 Is an intimate wedding the new trend?

Here, we’ll explore the advantages of opting for a smaller wedding and highlight some of the top venues around London that are perfect for these bespoke celebrations. Intimacy and personalisation is one of the most compelling advantages of a micro wedding is the intimacy it offers. With fewer guests, couples can spend quality time with each attendee, creating a more personal and memorable experience. This setting allows for greater flexibility in customizing the ceremony and reception, ensuring every detail reflects the couple’s unique style and preferences. Budget-friendly luxury smaller weddings often mean lower costs, but that doesn’t equate to less luxury. By inviting fewer guests, couples can allocate more of their budget to elements like gourmet catering, exquisite floral arrangements, or even a designer gown. This approach allows for a more luxurious experience without the need for a large-scale budget. Venue flexibility Micro weddings open up a world of venue possibilities that may not accommodate larger events. London boasts an array of stunning venues perfect for intimate celebrations, such as: Claridge’s in Mayfair: Known for its timeless elegance and Art Deco interiors. The Asylum Chapel in Peckham: A unique, atmospheric space with a rich history. Petersham Nurseries in Richmond: Offering a beautiful blend of nature and sophistication. The Gherkin: For a modern cityscape backdrop with panoramic views of London. Reduced stress a smaller guest list often translates to less stress in planning and execution. With fewer details to manage and a more intimate setting, couples can enjoy their day without the overwhelm that often accompanies larger weddings. In conclusion, micro wedding packages in 2025 offer a range of advantages from enhanced intimacy and personalization to budget-friendly luxury and reduced stress. With London’s diverse array of venues, couples are sure to find the perfect spot to make their special day unforgettable.

How to Plan a Timeless Wedding for Busy Professionals
PLAN YOUR PERFECT WEDDING Tips to make your wedding go without a hitch HOW TO PLAN A WEDDING FOR BUSY PROFESSIONALS Creating elegance, ease, and lasting memories for your special day. Planning a wedding while juggling a busy professional life can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. With careful planning and strategic decisions, you can create a timeless, elegant wedding that reflects your style without sacrificing precious time or peace of mind. This guide will walk you through the essential steps, offering practical advice tailored to professionals who value efficiency and sophistication. 1. Define Your Vision Early Before diving into planning, take a moment to align on a vision with your partner. Do you envision a chic city wedding in a historical venue or a countryside celebration at a grand manor? Define what “timeless” means to you. Think classic colour palettes (whites, soft pastels, or bold blacks and golds), enduring styles, and personal touches. Pro Tip:Create a shared Pinterest board or mood board to help visualise your ideas. This can save time when consulting with vendors. [Insert Image: A couple reviewing a wedding mood board on a laptop] 2. Hire a Wedding Planner Time is your most valuable asset. To help with planning a professional timeless wedding a seasoned wedding planner can handle the details, from securing top-tier vendors to managing your schedule. Look for planners with experience in upscale events and a portfolio showcasing elegant, timeless weddings. Top Planners to Consider in the UK: By Chenai Weddings – Known for luxurious city and country weddings. The Elegant Wedding Co. – Specialises in curated, timeless weddings. 3. Choose the Perfect Venue A venue sets the tone for your entire day. For a classic feel, consider venues with historical charm or architectural beauty: Hedsor House (Buckinghamshire): A country house with grandeur and versatility. The Savoy (London): Perfect for city professionals seeking classic elegance. Cliveden House (Berkshire): Ideal for opulent outdoor or indoor settings. Keep proximity to your guests in mind to minimise travel logistics. [Insert Image: An elegant wedding setup in a country house venue] 4. Streamline Your Guest List Keywords: intimate weddings, guest list tips Smaller, more intimate weddings are both timeless and practical for busy professionals. Focus on quality over quantity—invite close family and friends who truly celebrate your relationship. A smaller guest list reduces stress and allows you to focus on creating a personalised experience. 5. Invest in a High-End Photographer As a professional, you value expertise—and your wedding photography should reflect that. Timeless wedding photography captures your day with elegance, ensuring your memories last forever. Hiring a photographer experienced in high-end weddings ensures you receive stunning images without requiring much direction on the day. If you’re planning a London or countryside wedding, I’d love to discuss how I can capture your day beautifully. 6. Simplify Your Schedule A well-organised timeline is key to a seamless day. Work with your planner to create a schedule that allows for moments of relaxation between the excitement. Key tips: Include buffer times for travel. Opt for a first look to save time during the ceremony-to-reception transition. Build in moments for just the two of you to reflect and enjoy your day. 7. Elevate the Experience with Personalised Touches Incorporate thoughtful details that reflect your shared story. Custom stationery, signature cocktails named after favourite holidays, or a live string quartet can all elevate your day. Ideas to Consider: A custom monogram woven throughout your décor. Gifting luxury welcome boxes to your guests, complete with artisanal treats and a heartfelt note. 8. Keep Fashion Classic Planning a professional timeless wedding is all about simplicity and elegance when it comes to attire. Opt for: Bridal gowns with clean lines, lace accents, or minimalist silhouettes. Black-tie or formal wear for the groom and groomsmen. Brands like Suzanne Neville and Jenny Packham offer sophisticated styles perfect for timeless celebrations. 9. Prioritise Meaningful Moments Timeless weddings are as much about the emotional experience as the aesthetic. Personalised vows, a meaningful reading, or a candle-lighting ritual can create lasting memories for you and your guests. 10. Leverage Technology for Efficiency From managing RSVPs with platforms like Zola to creating a wedding website for guest information, technology can save you hours. Busy professionals can benefit from tools that simplify communication and logistics, leaving more time for the fun aspects of planning. 11. Work with Trusted Vendors The right suppliers make all the difference. Seek recommendations from your wedding planner or browse curated directories like The Knot or Rock My Wedding for inspiration. Final Thoughts: A Day to Reflect You Planning a timeless wedding doesn’t mean sacrificing your schedule or your style. By focusing on efficiency, working with trusted professionals, and staying true to your vision, you can create a day that feels effortless and elegant—a perfect reflection of you and your partner.
