Stylish Marquee Wedding at Home – Sophie and Dave

 

Sophie and Dave’s wedding day was pretty special, a DREAM to shoot. A sunning location with incredible people. Sophie and Dave, met at work (Both Architects) and were engaged on “ on a rainy January weekend away..on the steps of Sacre Coeur in Paris”.  The venue was so special and a memorable one for me, to shoot a wedding in a stunning flower meadow, was such a dream. The whole day had a wonderful fun family feel, with highlights for me was the walk home from church and the fun we all had taking photos in the meadow. Their flowers were utterly stunning and all created by the bridesmaids and Dave created the buttonholes.  Sophie and Dave have kindly written a few words about their day below. Massive thank you to Tammy for helping me second shoot their day.

Here it was Sophie and Dave had to say about their wedding locations,

“We had the wedding reception at Sophie’s parents’ farm in Worcestershire, where she grew up. We liked that the wedding guests could meet Dave at the local pub ahead of the ceremony, which was at the local parish church – where several generations of Sophie’s family have been christened, married and buried. We were lucky that the weather on the day was really good, so we were all able to walk from the church back to the farm along the banks of the river Severn. We married more or less on Midsummer and so to honor Finnish tradition (Dave is half Finnish) we lit a bonfire that Sophie’s dad had built for the occasion. It was so big that the fire brigade turned up! Perhaps not our most memorable part of the day but almost certainly everyone else’s! 

Finally a little word of advice from Sophie and Dave.

Don’t be afraid to get people to help! We had lots of friends and family join us the day before the wedding to make all the bouquets and wreaths, to decorate the tent and church, lay the tables, stock the bar and more. We had so many say it made them feel more part of the day and for us it was a real extension of the love and celebration.
