Winkworth Farm Wedding - Wiltshire // Abeer and Alex

Winkworth Farm Wedding - Cotswolds // Abeer and Alex

Abeer and Alex got married in the South Cotswold's venue of Winkworth Farm. The wedding, an amazing mix of Iraqi, Persian and English cultures made for an epic party with all the dancing, limbo-ing and singing along to the band through the night! It's a great example of a late summer wedding, when the light turns that little bit more golden when we're heading towards but not quite at autumn.

I arrived at the on-site cottage to capture some of the preparations with Abeer and her bride's squad and managed to see some of the last minute decorations and favours being arranged in the Barn as well! There was bunting and favours of home made jam, with beautiful boxes with a couple of chocolates in. The blackboard seating plan had a great 'A' made of photos of the couple (made by the bride's brother) and then the tables were dotted with small bunches of wild flower in bottle vases giving great pops of colour. 

 The ceremony was held outside as the sun was shining, and the day overall was a super relaxed affair full of their nearest and dearest, eating delicious food (There was a whole lamb cooked over hot coals outside, chicken, salads and flat breads along with a 5 tier naked cake for dessert) playing outdoor games (the limbo pole was a hit), drinking and dancing the night away!

The day really did feel full of colour, culture and laughter and seemed to reflect the couples' loves dow to a tee. Here's a collection of some of my favourites from the day!

Lucy + Adi's River Barn Wedding at Malmesbury

Every time I sit down to write about a wedding, I remember how it made me feel. Something I'm incredibly  privileged to to be a part of, to witness and take part in is your wedding.

Each and every wedding I've shot has had a common thread of intense together-ness, of everyone pulling together to make it happen and to get everything just right for the couple that they all know and love. 

Lucy and Adi's wedding was no exception, and you could really see the time and effort gone in to get everything looking beautiful. The wedding, held at River Barn in Malmesbury, which by the way is a super sweet intimate venue, happened to fall on one of those great little sunny days that we sometimes get here in the UK, and epitomised the late summer September weather. We had just the right amount of sunshine, warmth, and beautiful light and although these guys were pretty nervous the intimacy of the venue couldn't have suited them any better.

Thank you so much for having me shoot your day - it was a real joy to see you get married and be able to capture the day for you. 

Lucy and Adi were also kind enough to pop a little review across to me, which you can read below. Have a good old peruse of these photos, it was hard to keep the number down, but here's some of my favourites!

"We were thrilled and delighted with the services Naomi provided prior to, during, and after the wedding. Beforehand she took the time to meet with us, discuss our requirements and wishes for the day and offered a pre-wedding / engagement shoot. This helped us to understand how Naomi works as well as helped us to think about the style of photographs for the day, something that I feel was crucial. On the day, Naomi went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly. Besides ensuring an array of moments were caught on camera, Naomi ensured my dress and hair was set correct and offered a wealth of tips that helped in the preparations prior to the ceremony. The shots of the day were simply stunning. The package we received after our wedding was exceptional. Tailored and personal, with a touch of care and sophistication, which brought us to tears. We would truly recommend Naomi Jane photography to enable you to magically capture your special day."
