OUT OF THE ORDINARY

December 03, 2025

Jodie & Tobie’s Autumn Wedding at Cain Manor, Hampshire.

At the beginning of October, we had the joy of capturing Jodie & Tobie’s magical wedding day. They chose Cain Manor, a stunning Elizabethan manor built in the late 16th century, perched on the rolling slopes at the foot of the South Downs National Park. With its Tudor charm, barn-style architecture and sweeping countryside views, it was the perfect backdrop for their rustic, autumn-inspired celebration.

The grounds surrounding Cain Manor were awash with golden yellows, rich earthy browns and vibrant oranges, the dream setting for Jodie & Tobie’s colour palette of vintage greens and warm autumn tones. As the day unfolded, we made full use of every picturesque corner that had drawn them to this incredible venue.

Their ceremony was filled with warmth, emotion and the unmistakable connection they share. Afterwards, family and friends gathered in the courtyard, ready to shower the newlyweds in confetti petals, a moment that sparked huge smiles and a lot of joy!

The gardens offered leafy archways, winding paths and soft autumnal textures, giving us the perfect settings for natural mingling shots and those timeless family portraits. With a magnificent burgundy Rolls Royce as their wedding transport, we simply had to use it as part of their couple portraits. Its deep tones complemented the surrounding colours perfectly and added a touch of luxury that mirrored Jodie & Tobie’s elegant style.

Jodie looked breathtaking in a gown that blended timeless elegance with soft romance. An off-the-shoulder neckline, fitted bodice and graceful skirt, paired with a classic veil and an autumn bouquet. Tobie’s olive-toned tweed suit was the perfect match, bringing together classic tailoring and seasonal charm. His crisp white shirt, lighter tie and autumn-inspired buttonhole worked beautifully into the rich palette of soft greens, burnt oranges and natural textures. The bridesmaids then completed the look with their long, silk, vintage-green dresses. A stunning visual connection to the wedding day theme.

Guests enjoyed a delicious three-course meal in the breathtaking Music Room, surrounded by high beams and warm wooden textures. Jodie & Tobie had styled the space with burnt orange florals and soft autumn accents, creating a beautifully cosy and inviting atmosphere. Heartfelt and hilarious speeches followed, setting the tone perfectly for the evening ahead.

Before the celebrations kicked into full party mode, we stole the couple away for some romantic sunset portraits, joyful moments that captured their deep connection and will serve as cherished memories in their album.

As night settled in, the log fires crackled, the cake was cut, and the dance floor came alive. Jodie & Tobie created a day that was beautifully timeless and elegant, yet relaxed and full of personality, a true reflection of the love and warmth they share.

THE TOWER OF LOVE

Jess & Jack’s Autumn Wedding at Southend Barns, West Sussex

Jess & Jack were married in early October, just as the leaves began turning those beautiful golden yellows, rich earthy browns and vibrant oranges. The perfect backdrop for their colour palette of soft, neutral autumn tones. Their choice of season and styling blended seamlessly with their venue, the charmingly rustic Southend Barns, nestled in the heart of the South Downs.

From the start, Jess & Jack were determined to make their day feel truly “them,” weaving personal touches and meaningful traditions through every moment. Their adorable dog Norman proudly took on the role of ring bearer, looking very dapper in his little wedding outfit and melting everyone’s hearts.

In true Jess & Jack style, they swapped the traditional cake for a prosecco tower, a fun, fizz-filled way to kick off the evening and the perfect moment for relaxed, joyful photos. Guests roasted s’mores around the fire pit, enjoyed a delicious vegan-inspired menu created with the incredible Roots Catering team, and soaked up an atmosphere overflowing with laughter, warmth and celebration.

Jack’s sage green tweed suit and the bridesmaids’ champagne silk dresses paired beautifully with the delicate dried flower bouquets and buttonholes in burnt orange. Adding the perfect pop of autumnal colour. And Jess looked effortlessly stunning in her fitted A-line gown with its low back and delicate leaf-embellished veil, a gorgeous nod to both the season and her naturally warm, glowing personality.

The weather gave us the dreamiest mix of soft light, long green grasses, falling leaves and a warm sunset. The ideal backdrop to slip away with the couple for some quiet, romantic portraits that reflected their connection so beautifully.

Then it was back to the party, where the prosecco tower sparkled, the dance floor was buzzing with some fantastic moves, and the barns glowed under twinkling fairy lights and timeless party classics. The perfect end to a day that was unmistakably, wonderfully Jess & Jack.

Charlotte & Dom's Autumn Upwaltham Barns Wedding

On an idyllic sunny September day, Charlotte and Dom married at the stunning venue of Upwaltham Barns, a gorgeous English country venue set against the rolling hill backdrop of the South Downs National Park in West Sussex. No stranger to these lovingly restored family-owned barns, bride Charlotte, who works for their in-house catering team Nibbles2Nosh, called upon well-loved local suppliers to assist her in creating the ultimate wedding day! Having personally helped hundreds of brides and grooms with the running of their weddings, Charlotte’s knowledge and experience of the industry ensured that all the the ‘i’s were dotted and the ‘t’s crossed on this glorious big day of her own. The barns were full of charming rustic decorative details and the atmosphere perfectly laid-back as this couple enjoyed undertaking the formalities whilst choosing to take a more relaxed approach to some of the other wedding traditions.

Stunning flowers, delightful decor, tantalising food and lively entertainment were all exceptional elements, giving me plenty of picture-perfect moments to photograph. It was a joy to capture happy scenes of the bride, groom and their guests enjoying the easy-going ambience in such a beautiful setting and I was honoured to be a part of this special day.
