Sasha, Ignaz, and their magical woodland wedding in the quaint village of  Holmbury St Mary. The village, in fact, where the bride grew up with her 3 siblings. This truly was a special spot for the family, as the bride's sister got married in the same church several years prior! These two asked me to capture their day both on digital and on film, which I LOVE. You'll notice some film images mixed in with the digital ones.

​

       We started the day with bridal prep in Sasha's childhood home, a mere 5 minutes walk from the church. It was a relaxed, but buzzing morning as the siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends of the bride milled about getting ready. Most importantly, it was at this point where I met the star of the show, their 2 year old blonde cocker spaniel, Moxie. 

​

      The boys got ready just down the road in the local pub, which was captured beautifully by my second shooter, Nadine Loretta, and then began the 2 minute walk to the church. 

​

      Many beautiful hymns later (the bride is an incredible singer), the guests took the scenic woodland path through the forest to the reception at the Holmbury St Mary Cricket club. Cocktails and refreshments were provided about halfway through the journey, so that the guests could enjoy the sunlit woods. 

​

     While the guests made their way to the marquis, the bride, groom, and myself started their beautiful photo session. We started next to Sasha's parents house in the woods she grew up in, which was very much giving Twilight vibes. We then opted for a more serene woodland clearing closer to the reception tent, as the uneven ground was proving difficult in stilettos. 

​

      The gorgeous summers day transitioned into dusk, and the guests merrily drank champagne and played cricket until the sun went down. I'm thrilled that I stayed long enough to hear the bride perform, truly amazing.
