In the beautiful countryside of Buckinghamshire sits Winters Tale Country Barn, the perfect spot for Laura & Alex’s autumn wedding on the 22nd of October.
As our first experience photographing at Winters Tale Country Barn, we can both agree that its such a pretty venue that we’d love the opportunity of visiting again soon.
After a week of torrential rain, gusty wind and thunder and lightening, we were blessed with a mild, sunny autumn morning as we headed out to Alex’s family home to photograph grooms prep. We begun capturing some photographs of Alex putting on his suit jacket and tie before the exchanging of gifts downstairs – Alex was gifted a stunning silver pocket watch which he then wore on the day.
We then headed out into the garden to photograph some group photos of Alex with his brother (who could almost pass as his twin!) sister in-law and their parents.
We headed over to Winters Tale Country Barn next to meet Laura and the bridal party as they prepared in the bridal suit. In between capturing bridal prep, we also took a little wander around the venue. The barn, a high ceiling spacious room with large, exposed beams decorated in lights, was flooded with natural light. The ceremony room was set up with white chairs decorated with quaint little plant pots filled with gypsophila flowers and name tags on brown card were attached to the front row of chairs in a sage green ribbon, keeping in with their colour theme for the day.
Another great feature of the barn is the balcony which gave us a great opportunity to capture Laura and Alex during the ceremony from a different angle.
Straight after the ceremony, we captured a fun confetti shot outside and then took a short walk through the grounds to shoot some portraits of Laura and Alex with their lively Labrador, Olive.
The wedding breakfast was a wonderfully curated 3 course meal with tender lamb for the main and probably the creamiest, tastiest lemon ice cream we’ve ever had!
As the light begun to fade, we quickly nipped out for 10 minutes once more for a couple more portraits in between the main course and dessert.
We got to capture so many great expressions from the guests as they enjoyed reliving funny memories of Alex during the speeches.
