One of my favourite things about this particular day in Bramdean was the amount of affection expressed by everyone at the wedding, it was utterly infectious. It matched Steph and Kit’s warm personalities, as they are two of the kindest and most generous people I have met. I was so happy when they asked me to photograph their day, and they even asked me to make sure I ‘treated myself like a guest’ and to allow myself to enjoy the day too.
The day itself was an utterly glorious summer’s day, incredibly warm, which suited the tent venue just fine. Also – much to their tastes – it made the whole thing feel like a huge party of friends had come together and collaborated for a summer celebration. Seeing everyone come together to help with the set up and how every performance was from a friend of theirs’ just made the whole day so personal and heartwarming. Speaking of which, everyone was encouraged to come ‘wearing their heart on their sleeves’, which is why you see the range of outfits people are wearing.
Yes, one of the groomsmen IS wearing a full suit of armour. And yes, the groom himself is in a sarong. That just sums up so much, and in the best possible way too.
The day was gloriously warm and bright, it’s still what comes to mind for me when people mention a ‘summer wedding’ and I feel like it will for a while. Steph walking down into the clearing whilst her bridesmaids sang ‘You are my sunshine’ is going to stay with me for a while, and I am glad I can provide a lasting memory for them too. Enjoy the photos.
