A custom dress from Turkey, 90s inspired touches, and coupes of champagne - Mina and Callum's Nostalgic English Wedding

Mina and Callum’s wedding at Quendon Hall was a quiet kind of elegant—classic in all the right ways, with a nod to 90s style and a backdrop that felt almost cinematic.
The ceremony took place outdoors, overlooking open fields where deer grazed in the distance. Thousands of pure white roses framed the aisle and ended in an arch, creating a setting that was both refined and completely timeless. It was understated in the best way—letting the surroundings, and the moment, speak for themselves.
After the ceremony, guests were welcomed with coupe glasses of champagne on the lawn. We used this time to explore the grounds for their first couple session, moving through the gardens and corners of the estate.
Dinner was held in the marquee, where 90s-inspired details made subtle appearances: a vintage-style tiered cake, deep red roses, an Elvis style singer, and an atmosphere that felt just a little nostalgic without being overly styled.
One of my favorite parts of the day was slipping away with Mina and Callum during twilight. Golden hour usually gets all the attention, but twilight brought something even softer and moodier to their second couple shoot. The light was cooler, quieter, and gave everything a bit of a cinematic edge. Some of my favorite images of the day came from those few minutes as the sun dipped just below the horizon. The lower light also allowed me to capture all the finer details of Mina's custom dress from Turkey. This is my official petition to make blue hour the new golden hour!
