Wow. Where to start?! I was so excited to photograph Grace and James’ romantic wedding at Gaynes Park in Essex last summer. Not only is it one of my favourite venues to work at but Grace and James are so much fun to be around. I love how relaxed they were about the wedding, they went with the flow and enjoyed it to the max, which is all I can ask from my couples! I think it’s so important to enjoy the day with your guests and all the hard work you put into all the little details for your loved ones- whilst you leave your trust in me to capture the love and emotion all around you.
Grace is the most loving and honest person you can meet and I love that you can feel her warmth in the photos. James is super laid back and enjoys a laugh and I loved seeing him in his element with his close-knit friends- especially his Dad who he so clearly has a special bond with. Grace and James are clearly very loved by everyone around them and it was a pleasure it witness their wedding and the feel the energy of their celebration.
And the best part of the day? Their gorgeous little rescue dog Sully came to play for a bit. I couldn’t get enough of him! He’s the most adorable little guy.
The speeches were very eventful with lots of slideshows and films made by friends and family sharing memories and messages with them. I loved capturing all the emotion and reactions to these that I’m sure will mean alot to the couple in years to come.
The sunset was gorgeous on this long Summer’s wedding day at Gaynes Park so we seized the opportunity to capture some evening portraits with Grace and James in the golden hour light which was just perfect. Here are just a few moments from their incredible romantic wedding at Gaynes Park…
Some kind words from Grace and James:
“There are literally no words to say how amazing these photos are as well as our highlights! Every person I show our gallery to says how perfect and incredible they are!"
