Fi & Tim at Lytchett Minster School - our first wedding here and it couldn’t have been better.

Sunshine in the walled secret garden, bridesmaids in heart-shaped sunnies, and Fi’s uncle welcoming her in with the sound of Scottish pipes - then escorting everyone round to drinks like it was the most epic little procession.

Kids pond dipping for tadpoles, golden hour portraits out on the playing fields, and then a ceilidh band and caller turning the night into joyful chaos (with a few collisions for good measure). Finished perfectly with Fi switching into full festival bride mode in a glittery sequinned jumpsuit.

Payal & Tom at Pennard House - an Indian fusion wedding with two ceremonies in one day, multiple outfit changes, and zero downtime.

A civil ceremony full of family emotion (Payal’s reaction as she reached Tom - head back, beaming smile - priceless), then straight into Indian attire for part two. No horse for Tom’s baraat, so he arrived on a tractor with dhol drummers, got lifted onto shoulders, and carried into the gardens like a hero.

Hindu ceremony games, heartfelt speeches, then a girls vs boys dance-off finale with Tom lifting Payal and swirling her around the room. One hell of a ride.

Planning Pennard House and want it documented naturally, without turning it into a photoshoot? Drop us your date.

Archie & Reece - a home grown wedding at Archie’s family home in Dorset, on one of those proper summer scorchers.

They walked down the aisle together with their dog Thor (also the ring bearer, and yes, he ran perfectly straight). Speeches in the garden amphitheatre, portraits among ponds and hidden garden corners, and a dancefloor that ended with something we genuinely didn’t see coming… Archie doing the worm.

Heartwarming, funny as hell, and completely them.

Rosie & James at North Cadbury Court - one hell of a ride from start to finish.

Private notes and gifts before church. A jubilant walk back down the aisle. Confetti chaos. Then a tin-can golf buggy getaway with Rosie driving James back to the house.

Bubbly, canapes and lawn games in the sun, warming speeches (with Zoom calls to best men on the other side of the world), and then one of the wildest dancefloors we’ve seen - both of them carried high above heads more than once.

If you’re planning North Cadbury Court and want documentary photo and film that keeps things real, drop us your date.

Laura & Ashley at Sopley Mill - and it’s basically their first anniversary right about now, so this feels like the perfect one to share.

Crisp spring sunshine, a ceremony that was personal and full of those unplanned, real moments, and emotion that hit again and again throughout the day. One of those aisle walks where you can literally see feelings rising in both Laura and her dad, then laughter five minutes later like nothing else matters.

We covered photo and highlight film, and we hadn’t even left before they put a thank you card in our hands. Beautiful people.
