An old money, romantic Summer Wedding at Blake Hall, Essex
Blake Hall looking it’s best in August, was the backdrop for Nina & Ashley’s wedding. Nina opted for old money elegance with her bridesmaids in pastel pink, finished off with on trend dried flower bouquets. Ashley looked dapper in Navy with Scottish thistle detail in his button hole.
Relaxed Moments in Blake Hall’s stunning backdrop
My super-power as a documentary wedding photographer is to help couples feel relaxed and at ease, especially those who aren’t fans of being in front of the camera – it’s the no.1 worry I hear from my couples. After a decade and a half of documenting weddings, it’s second nature to me to be in tune with the authentic, unposed moments that tell the unique story of your day. Nina & Ashley were absolute naturals and we focused on some fun prompts to get them laughing and enjoying the short time away from their guests to catch their breath!
Golden Hour Magic in the grounds of Blake Hall
Summer treated us to another incredible golden hour and we made the most of it with a short stroll up the driveway and into the adjoining wheat field – definitely another bonus of weddings at Blake Hall!
Why Choose a Documentary Wedding Photographer?
If the thought of posing for photos fills you with dread, you’re not alone. Many of my couples tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera. That’s why I take a relaxed, unobtrusive approach to wedding photography. With a little direction and maybe some interactive games to play, you’ll come away with natural portraits that feel like you. Otherwise, my aim is to blend seamlessly into your day, capturing all of those natural moments without interrupting the flow.
