A Black Tie Summer Wedding at Upton Barn Devon
Natalie & Josh’s wedding at Upton Barn Devon was modern and romantic…
If you’re looking for a modern barn wedding venue in the UK, then Upton Barn is a must visit! It has everything from a light and airy prep space, to a beautiful walled garden and chic neutral barn interiors. It’s surrounded by Devon’s rolling hills and fields, often complete with their very own horses. I’m lucky to have this gorgeous venue just a stones throw away from me, and have loved capturing lots of beautiful weddings here over the years.
Natalie and Josh were married at Upton Barn & Walled Garden mid-July during a heat wave! We started the day with Natalie and her two bridesmaids getting pampered in The Paddock, and I also popped out to see the boys for their final touches in the Walled Garden. Their guests arrived in the beautiful gardens where our couple tied the knot under the iconic arbour, surrounded by lavender and butterflies. Drinks and ice-creams were enjoyed outdoor afterwards to help their guests cool down in the heat!
I loved the on-trend styling for this day, with a statement black-tie dress code for the Groomsmen and black table details reflecting Upton Barn’s decor. It was paired timelessly with soft pinks and whites, fresh roses and plenty of candles in The Stable Barn. We had some beautiful light for our Bride and Groom portraits and I couldn’t resist taking our newlyweds to a few of my favourite spots. The evening was finished with speeches, drinks and dancing!

I’m excited to share some highlights from a recent wedding editorial at The Lost Music Hall, a hidden gem in the beautiful Devonshire countryside, that looks just as romantic as it’s name suggests. This enchanting wedding venue, with its rich history and captivating charm, provided the setting for the vision meticulously brought together by the wonderful Fern Godfrey Weddings.
I’m so lucky to have the beautiful Pynes House right on my door step; you instantly know you’ve found something truly special the moment you make your way up their tree lined driveway. It was the perfect setting for Daisy & Harvey’s day, from their sweet outdoor ceremony, to dancing the night away in the Ballroom.
These two had such a great energy and were so clearly head over heels in love. I have such fond memories from capturing their day, scroll for a few of my favourite moments…
What a wonderful day this was for Kate & Richard at Deer Park Country House last September.
It was filled to the brim with luxurious fresh florals in pink and peach tones, candlelight and crisp sunshine between showers. Family and friends travelled all the way from Australia and other corners of the world to celebrate the day with this lovely couple.
I’m so excited to share more from this beautiful day at Pynes House last July. Julie & Michael had a French-English fusion wedding, with lots of their guests travelling to celebrate the day together.
I loved seeing the way in which they brought together the two languages, cultures and traditions to create a wedding that really reflected both them as a couple and their loved ones.
It’s always such a privilege to photograph elopements, and Brickhouse Vineyard in Devon has to be one of my favourite venues for this type of wedding!
Surrounded by their grape vines, the beautiful Devonshire countryside and with the barn as your backdrop, it really is such an idyllic spot to say your vows.
Leanne & Guy’s wedding at Brickhouse Vineyard was modern & stylish…
From an outdoor ceremony with their family and friends overlooking the vineyard, to a black-tie dress code and monochrome styling, this summer wedding was such a dream to capture!
Our wedding photos are often one of the only things we get to keep once the day is over and I fully believe in the power of print to help take your memories to the next level.
So, here are a few reasons why you may want to consider printing your wedding photographs…
Chris and Hsiu’s October wedding at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire was a breath taking celebration and such a joy to capture. The attention to detail was second to none throughout, from the bridal preparations in the chic Park Suite, to the perfectly styled and floral filled wedding ceremony, every thoughtful aspect reflected the wonderful couple perfectly.
