Surrey Garden Marquee Wedding

Rebecca & Dan

When looking back at Rebecca and Dan’s wedding, I am reminded of how similar it would be to what I envision perhaps happening on my wedding day. I loved that everything took place in close proximity, Rebecca’s aunties house being just a short trip away from the church.

I started off by photographing Rebecca and her sisters and friends at the house before heading to the church. Everything was set up beautifully in a lovely big back garden in Surrey. There was so much attention to detail, I was really taken back by seeing Rebecca’s vision come into fruition. In no time at all I was at the church where we awaited Rebecca’s arrival with her dad by her side. It was a lovely natural, laid back service. Just after leaving, a highlight of the day for me was being there to capture Dan and his father having a hug. For me this is what I live for as a photographer, and it’s what I feel wedding photography is all about. To see the bond they had as father and son was so special. To this day I still feel something when I look at the reportage pictures. We then made our way back to the marquee where the afternoon evening celebrations began.

I loved the speeches and remember vividly how emotional Rebecca’s father was as he talked about her being a miracle as a baby. There was also an extremely funny best man speech. I remember feeling like I might need to put my cameras down as one of Dan’s best men had some really funny things to say about him. The speech was so well put together and executed! To top it all off the night ended with Dan’s father singing and playing guitar for the first dance, shortly after I left to a packed dance floor. It was a wonderful day.
