I first met Jen and Gavin at a wedding show, and was excited to hear all about their wedding plans which promised to be a very different wedding. So I was absolutely delighted when they decided to book me for their wedding photography.

Their venue was the Clock Barn in Surrey, which is close to Jen’s parents and allowed them to not only decorate it to suit them but also run their day the way they wanted to, out the door to many wedding day conventions.

Both of them have a real love of Robots and Jen is a pagan so the theme for their wedding was Robots and Ivy. Add to this unusual theme a very personal pagan hand tying ceremony and picnic blankets on the lawn in the sunshine, and you have the recipe for a truly unique and wonderful wedding.

If that’s not enough, also included are: a the gorgeous custom purple wedding dress with beautiful silk coat, custom designed engagement and wedding rings, a game of dib dab, truly unique cake toppers and a fantastic first dance.

Sadly a pagan wedding is not legally binding so we headed off to Guildford Registry office for the legal bits first before returning to The Clock Barn.

So let me introduce you to Jen and Gavin and their wedding, enjoy.

Jen and Gavin thank you so much for inviting me to capture your truly unique day. I loved every minute of it. Best wishes for a robot filled future

And because I just can’t post without a picture, here’s a recent favourite from a Wedding at St Mary’s Church, Saffron Walden, which sits just behind the Saffron Hotel.

So another unpredictable day in August, with split skies of beautiful blue and dark moody clouds with a smattering of rain, The first shot of the day captures that scene, strange weather.

Danni and Matt met at university, and now live away from their families, so it was lovely to see everyone coming together for their day.

Music is really important to Danni and the gospel choir in the church really brought a toe tapping happy vibe to the day. Followed later in the day by a very special first dance song. Danni had secretly recorded her own version of their song and it was truly breath taking, not a dry eye in the house.

The couple portraits were really important to Danni and Matt so they had allowed extra time, which meant we had sunshine and blue skies and stormy skies and rain all in one session. It’s given them a really fun and diverse selection of images.

I was accompanied by Rhian Askins a talented photographer and friend from Liverpool. Thank you Rhian is was great fun as always

So without further ado here are some images from Danni and Matt’s day.

Danni and Matt, thank you for asking me to document your day, we had so much fun. Best wishes for your future together xxx
