Photographic approach: Relaxed, documentary-style with an editorial edge
Just a small glimpse into what was a seriously joyful day with Laura and Jamie at the always-magical Larmer Tree Gardens in Dorset.
Their entire celebration unfolded on site — relaxed, vibrant, and full of personal touches. The ceremony took place outdoors, framed by greenery and the occasional call of peacocks, which roam freely around the gardens and lend a little extra character to the setting.
From start to finish, the day was a true reflection of them. Warm, welcoming, and full of life. After an emotional ceremony came one of the best exits I’ve seen — a full-on confetti and bubble moment, with so much joy flying around it was hard not to grin behind the camera.
There was a lot of laughter, some very competitive lawn games, and a dancefloor buzzing with joy and proper feel-good vibes. Not to mention their choreographed first dance, which was completely unexpected and brilliantly done.
Here’s a small preview of highlights while the full set is being edited. Can’t wait to share more from this one soon.
Just looked through the previews and we absolutely LOVE them!!!! You’ve done an incredible job and captured so many wonderful moments and beautiful clips of the day! It all feels so authentic and so special, we are delighted so far and cannot wait to see the rest once they are ready!!!
