Ceremony at St Mary’s Church, Ambrosden
Nestled in the peaceful village of Ambrosden, St Mary’s Church provided a serene and spiritual setting for the ceremony. With its centuries-old stonework and timeless charm, it was the perfect backdrop for the couple’s heartfelt vows. Light filtered softly through the stained-glass windows as emotions ran high — there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
I love photographing church weddings like this — the little glances, the held hands, the joy as newlyweds walk down the aisle for the first time as a married couple. St Mary’s Ambrosden never disappoints when it comes to atmosphere and elegance.
Relaxed Wedding Reception at The Akeman, Aylesbury
After the ceremony, we headed over to The Akeman in Aylesbury, a stylish gastropub with bags of character — perfect for couples looking for something a little more laid-back and modern. The reception was full of relaxed energy, great food, heartfelt speeches, and a few surprise dance moves later in the evening during the portrait session!
It was such a joy to capture the candid moments here — from the emotional embraces to the laughter over pints. The Akeman’s warm interiors and rustic charm offered a beautiful contrast to the formal church setting, making for a well-rounded story visually and emotionally.
