Getting ready

You can spend your morning in their lovely rustic cottages – they FEEL amazing and you will definitely have the best and the most relaxing time there. Extra bonus points for the fact that you can literally WALK to your ceremony which removes the unnecessary stress of travel in the morning.

And recently the cottage at which the brides are typically getting ready has been upgraded and has a lovely beauty corner with big mirrors and lovely lights that really help with that makeup in the morning.

The ceremony

We love capturing natural moments during ceremonies – and this lovely bright barn is every photographer’s dream. There is plenty of space for you and your guests. Our goal is to stay as invisible as possible during the ceremony but there is so much space for us that we are able to capture both you AND the emotions shown by your loved ones. Your guests are such an important part of your wedding ceremony – it would be a shame not to capture them too.

After the ceremony

The sun is shining and the party has just begun! Let’s take a stroll through the gardens and enjoy some delicious cocktails under the trees. Let’s start this part of the day with the confetti moment – it looks and feels great and the courtyard is the perfect spot to have the confetti moment.
