Bridal Nerves and the Perfect Dress Choices

Like many brides on their wedding day, Jemima felt nervous and insecure about how she would look. As she sat having her makeup done, the anticipation built, and she worried about every little detail. Surrounded by her bridesmaids and loved ones, they reassured her with kind words and laughter, reminding her of how beautiful and radiant she already was. Jemima had two dresses to choose from, and after much deliberation and encouragement from all of us, she made the perfect decision.

Capturing Beautiful Bridal Portraits

Before the festivities fully commenced, I had the pleasure of capturing Jemima’s bridal portraits. The soft natural light filtering through the countryside surroundings of The Post Newbury created a dreamlike setting, perfectly complementing her ethereal beauty. Her flowing gown moved gracefully with the gentle breeze, making for breathtaking images that truly showcased her elegance.

As she stood quietly, taking a deep breath to soak in the moment, the joy and excitement in her eyes were evident. These portraits highlighted her stunning bridal look and encapsulated the day’s emotion—the anticipation, the happiness, and the overwhelming love she radiated. The second photographer was at the Donnington Hotel, capturing some magnificent black and white groom portraits.

Capturing Beautiful Moments After the Ceremony

After the ceremony, I captured all the group photos that the couple had requested, and then that led me to the bridal couple’s portraits, which were magnificent in such a beautiful, soft light. The countryside setting of The Post Newbury created an idyllic backdrop, enhancing the romance and elegance of the moment. Jemima and Andy shared quiet, heartfelt moments during the shoot, laughing together and embracing the joy of their newlywed status.

An Unforgettable Celebration with Singing Waiters

One of the most incredible moments of the day was the arrival of the singing waiters after the main wedding breakfast. As the guests enjoyed their meals, they were surprised with a breathtaking performance of classic West End musicals. The energy in the room was electric, with guests singing along, clapping, and fully embracing the theatrical experience. It was a perfect addition to the day, especially given Jemima and Andy’s shared love for musicals. The performance brought extra excitement, ensuring their modern barn wedding was truly unique.

Sunset Afternoon Delights

As the celebrations continued into the night, I had the opportunity to capture some stunning afternoon shots of Jemima and Andy. The Post Newbury transforms beautifully after dark, with fairy lights twinkling and a warm ambience filling the space. The colourful room, adorned with its vibrant, shocking pink theme, added to the enchanting atmosphere. As they stood beneath the soft glow of the lights, sharing a quiet moment together, it was the perfect way to conclude their incredible day.

A Cake Made with Love & A First Dance to Remember

Jemima and Andy had carefully considered every aspect of their modern barn wedding, including the cutting of the cake, which was lovingly made by friends and family. The moment was filled with laughter and emotion as they sliced into their beautifully crafted cake, a true testament to the love and effort their loved ones had put into making their day special. Following this sweet moment, they took to the dance floor for their first dance.

They worked with ‘Start the Dance,’ the same company I used for my first dance, to create a stunning routine that captivated their guests. Watching them glide across the dance floor with confidence and grace was an emotional moment, and it was clear just how much effort and dedication they had put into making it unique. The joy on their faces as they danced together was heartwarming and a highlight of the evening.
