Maybe the idea of repeating someone else’s words makes you whisper, “This isn’t us.” Or perhaps a civil ceremony focused on legalities feels cold. If your heart longs for a more personal start to married life – and for photos that radiate that truth – a celebrant-led ceremony could be the most meaningful choice.
At Sarah Vivienne, your photos will feel like memories, not heavily processed art. Come and peek behind the scenes to see how your wedding images are turned into a lovingly curated story and edited to reflect exactly how your day looked and felt. Spoiler: no heavy-handed filters that distract from the natural beauty, just beautiful storytelling and a whole lot of care.
Your wedding photos are nearly ready (eek!) – so how do you want to see them for the first time? With a cosy night in, a family premiere, a soulful ritual…? Need some inspo? This guide is full of ideas to help you plan an intentional photo reveal that feels as joyful as the day itself.
All you need is love, a tractor, and a few packets of Quavers! Anna and Tom celebrated their summer solstice wedding at St Peter’s church in Barrowden, followed by a relaxed marquee reception at their family farm. It was a beautifully authentic celebration where family came first and comfort trumped convention.
This relaxed Rushton Hall wedding is a vivid reminder that the best moments can’t be staged. If you’re drawn to candid wedding photos that capture emotion as it unfolds, come and take a look. You’ll see what happens when two people let their hearts lead and the camera captures what unfolds.
