Capturing Love Naturally: A Marquee Wedding in Tolpuddle
As a wedding photographer, my mission is to capture the authentic moments that make each couple's special day unique. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful marquee wedding in June, in the private grounds of the couple set against the picturesque backdrop of Tolpuddle's village. The bride and groom envisioned a grand celebration filled with candid moments, and I was thrilled to bring their vision to life with my natural, relaxed photography style.
The Charm of Tolpuddle's Old Church
The wedding day began at the charming old church of Tolpuddle, a location steeped in history and character. The ancient stone walls and stunning stained glass windows provided a romantic and timeless setting for the couple's vows. As the bride walked down the aisle, the soft, natural light filtering through the windows created a magical atmosphere, perfect for capturing the heartfelt emotions of the ceremony.
A Marquee Celebration
Following the ceremony, the guest walked to the celebration at the marquee which was set up in a beautiful grounds of the couples home. The marquee was elegantly decorated with wild flowers, lush greenery, and personal touches that reflected the couple's unique style. The open sides of the marquee allowed the summer breeze to flow through, adding to the relaxed and joyful ambiance.
Capturing Candid Moments
The bride and groom wanted their wedding photos to reflect the genuine emotions and spontaneous moments of their day. Here's how I captured the essence of their celebration:
