I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried, however that all worked out and we even managed to get off site, to get some epic portraits! 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was something mega important to the couple and having gone to checkout the ‘Long man’ of Wilmington the day before, I could understand why! Nothing makes me more happy than when a plan comes together, you guys deserved it and fully smashed it on the day! Thanks for trusting me and just being embracing everything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have the most amazing time in St Vincent and I hope this keeps you well and truly in wedding bubble! 🇻🇨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s a few of my favourite pics! 📸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Supplier love - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue - @alfriston.gardens Photographer - @philipjamesphotography Florist - @scentimentfloristry Hair - @savoirfairehairuk Mua - @charlie_sman_makeup Videographer - @jordanmansfieldweddings Tailor - @mortsandmore Cake - @emilysmixingbowl ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bridetobe2026 #bridetobe2027 #alfristongardens #sussexwedding #creativeweddingphotographer #sussexweddings #editorialwedding #editorialweddingphotographer #longmanofwilmington #westmidlandswedding #weddingdressideas #luxuryweddings #summerwedding #blacktiewedding
Allana & Jack at the stunning @ardingtonhouseoxfor Allana & Jack at the stunning @ardingtonhouseoxford ⚡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WOW… now this was a wedding! My first time at the insanely gorgeous Ardington House and I’m obsessed! We even got the weather, it really couldn’t have gone any better! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To start the day, Jack and the lads went shooting! Yes you heard that right, they managed to get a few drives in, all before a 12:30pm ceremony! Meanwhile, Allana and the girls were having a relaxed bridal prep at the venue! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We then headed out to the local church in their village, which was such a lovely spot! Right next to where they live and work! After the ceremony I got to meet their lovely dog Luna who made a special appearance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We weren’t done with animals just yet, as we then drove round to the stables, to grab a quick photo with Allana’s race horse Johan! Certainly an experience I’ll never forget! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So back to Ardington House we went and it honestly felt like we may have seen one of the last days of summer, it was glorious! Thanks so much for having me, I loved every second of the day and you guys were amazing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Special mention to my good pal @chebirchhayes for helping me out on the day, always a pleasure! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s a few of my favourite pics! 📸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Supplier love - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue - @ardingtonhouseoxford Wedding gown - @jesuspeiroofficial Bridal boutique - @andwolfbridal Photographer - @philipjamesphotography Mua - @indiachannonmakeup Hair - @jadechelsiehair Flowers - @foxglovesandroses Music - @wislockimusic Second shooter - @chebirchhayes Videographers - @luke_houghton_films ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bridetobe2026 #bridetobe2027 #ardingtonhouse #oxfordweddings #creativeweddingphotographer #jesuspeiro #editorialwedding #editorialweddingphotographer #oxfordwedding #westmidlandswedding #weddingdressideas #luxuryweddings #summerwedding #blacktiewedding
