A Romantic Winter Wedding at Upton Barn Devon
Lottie & Charlie’s wedding at Upton Barn Devon was elegant and timeless…
Upton Barn is a beautiful and modern wedding venue nestled within the countryside near Exeter, Devon, with stunning views over the Blackdown Hills. It has a romantic Walled Garden and lake for outdoor celebrations, as well as their chic Cider and Stable Barns which make the perfect retreat for feasts and partying with your guests. I’ve loved photographing lots of gorgeous weddings at Upton Barn over the years, and recently enjoyed capturing Lottie & Charlie’s special day this winter.
It was a crisp and sunny start to December with mist settling across the valley making the most beautiful backdrop to bridal and groom preparations. Our Bride and bridesmaids got ready in the newly build Paddocks, which really are a photographers dream with it’s vast natural light and modern, neutral decor.
Our couple were married inside the Cider Barn which was styled timelessly with fresh whites and greens by From the Wild Florist, draping by Fika Event Hire and fairylights. It created an elegant winter aesthetic, without going down the festive route. After personalised readings and exchanging vows, the newlyweds were showered with confetti in the Walled Garden. We made the most of the beautiful sunshine and an early golden hour for photos during the drinks reception, knowing that it would get dark earlier at this time of year.
Lottie, Charlie and their guests enjoyed speeches and food in the Stable Barn which looked enchanting with more draping, greenery and candlelight. We finished the night with sparklers, some fun flash photography and dancing in the Cider Barn. What a beautiful wintery wedding!

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.
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…
Danni & Jay’s wedding at Deer Park Country House Devon was luxurious & stylish…
I’m so in love with this beautiful day! Danni & Jay had a mid-August wedding at Deer Park Country House in Devon. It was a warm and overcast day, and the majority of their celebration was outside in the gorgeous gardens and grounds.
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.
