Sian and Tom’s Charming and Unique Wedding

Relaxed and charming is how I would describe Sian and Tom’s Wedding ceremony and unique reception. Vows were exchanged at a local Church, in walking distance from the reception at the family home. There was ample space for children to play on trampolines, in the tennis court, or to explore the garden. An old farm shed became a small concert hall in the evening. All this made for a great atmosphere and wonderful opportunities to photograph people enjoying themselves playing tennis or jumping on the trampoline. It isn’t often I get to document the bride and her bridesmaids jumping with such genuine joy on a trampoline at a wedding reception!

As the sun dipped lower, the garden transformed into a wonderland. Fairy lights adorned the pathways, creating a soft, twinkling path for guests. Children darted between flower beds, their laughter echoing off the stone walls. The trampolines, strategically placed near the marquee, beckoned the young and young-at-heart to bounce with abandon.

And then, as the frolicking subsided, Sian and Tom danced under the star-studded sky, surrounded by family, friends, and fireflies. Their wedding was not just an event; it was a chapter in a timeless love story—one that would echo through generations, whispered by the wind and etched into the very soil of their family home.
