Yesterday we were at the stunning Rivervale Barn to photograph Paul & Lynsey’s wedding day.

The ceremony was beautiful and it was lovely to see Paul and Lynsey looking so happy exchanging their vows.

The weather was superb, just as September should be and allowed us to get some great shots!

The reception Barn looked amazing with all their decorations and we could not believe Lynsey’s mum had handmade each individual wedding favour – a beautiful pink love heart. Well done Mum!

During the speeches Paul had us all laughing away, it was one of the most entertaining Grooms speeches we have heard.

Paul and Lynsey are a lovely couple, they were great to work with and we really enjoyed celebrating the day with their friends and family.

Thank you to all the Rivervale staff for another great wedding!

Here’s a few preview images from their special day.

Yesterday we were back at the gorgeous Rivervale Barn to photograph James & Claire’s wedding.

We arrived in the morning to torrential rain which looked like it would never stop.  The weather has been quite mixed recently and yesterday was no exception! Fortunately for James & Claire the weather did a complete u-turn and by the time they sat down for their wedding breakfast the sun was out and the puddles dry!

We had such fun with the girls in the bridal suite during the mornings preparations. Claire & her bridesmaids were such a giggle, they all had amazing characters! The room was buzzing with atmosphere which was great to witness & capture.

Claire looked stunning in her beautiful dress and James was all smiles waiting eagerly for his beautiful bride.

We know James & Claire were pleased to get outside and enjoy the fabulous grounds at Rivervale Barn. Good on Claire for braving the damp outdoors to get some lovely shots outside!

The speeches were fantastic, we especially enjoyed James’ speech, as he had everyone in fits of laughter which made for some really great shots!

Congratulations to Claire & James, such a lovely couple, we had a lovely day with their friends and family.

Here’s a sneak peak at a few of their images from their beautiful wedding day!

Yesterday we were at Rivervale Barn for Gary & Laura’s wedding day!

During bridal preparations we really enjoyed being a part of the girlie preparations! Laura’s flower girls were so cute and very cheeky!!

Despite the weather forecast, it started to rain heavily in morning and looked to be setting in.
But with near perfect timing as soon as Gary and Laura came out of their ceremony the sunshine beamed through! After that the weather was fantastic, what a change there was!

We took full advantage of this and photographed Gary & Laura along with their friends and family enjoying Rivervale Barn’s fantastic courtyard & grounds!

We particularly loved the best man’s speech, so original and very funny!! The exhibits definitely had the guests in fits of laughter!
A great opportunity for us to capture the true atmosphere of this fantastic wedding!

We had a fantastic time photographing this great couple along with their friends and family!
They were such a laugh and so relaxed it made for a truly great day!

Here’s a few images from their special day!

Yesterday we were at Rivervale Barn for Peter and Claire’s wedding day!

We started the morning by spending time with Claire in the bridal suite along with her lovely bridesmaids. Claire’s dress was absolutely stunning, a real fairytale dress, gorgeous!

The torrential rain during the ceremony did not dampen anyone’s spirits and despite starting the drinks reception inside, we did still managed to get outside when the sun started to shine!
Regardless of what the weather has in store, Rivervale Barn is fantastic for photo opportunities, we really are spoilt for choice there!

Peter & Claire had organised a stunning set up at Rivervale Barn, with beautiful flowers (provided by Cherubs) & numerous decorative ideas on display which all together was absolutely stunning!

Their friends and family enjoyed a string quartet, an acoustic band during the wedding breakfast, a live band for the evening celebrations and a chocolate fountain provided by Jeni’s Cakes and Flowers!

We also enjoyed working with Jeff Wood who was there as a videographer for the day. His work is fantastic and he adopts a very modern twist on wedding films.

Claire threw her bouquet in the courtyard for the girlies to catch, and it was her little flower girl that caught it…so cute!

The evening reception had a great atmosphere and Funkadelics, a fantastic live band, did a great job getting the party started!
It was in full swing when we left everyone to party on into the night!

We wish Peter & Claire all the best in their future together! Here’s a few from their special day.

Yesterday we were back at the beautiful Rivervale Barn to photograph Ross & Louise’s wedding.

Louise looked stunning in her gorgeous dress and their beautiful baby boy was so cute in his little outfit!

It was a lovely ceremony from one of our favourite registrar’s at Rivervale Barn and Ross was clearly excited to finally see his beautiful bride.

The weather was perfect and we enjoyed capturing Ross & Louise along with all their friends and family.

It was lovely to get a mention in Ross’ speech too!

Thank you to all the staff at Rivervale Barn for another fantastic wedding!

We wish Ross & Louise all the best for their future together.
