Beth & Pat here is your sneak peek!⚡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WOW!! Where do I even start? This was a wedding I’ll never forgot for all the right reasons! You guys were amazing, the energy, the vibe, the laughs, it was just awesome!! 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me set the scene, they got married at the local church near to where Pat grew up and had the celebrations on his family farm. The decor was on point and the weather was stunning, honestly it couldn’t have happened to nicer people! I had the privilege of already knowing these two, as I photographed their good friends wedding last year, so I knew it was going to be special! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We had a marque with disco balls, corn fields for days, a tractor and so so much more, I loved being a part of your day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’re all an incredible bunch of people and I really hope I get to see you again in the future! Beth & Pat, you smashed it!! Well done for embracing everything I threw at you, true hero’s!

Chloe & Callum here’s your @shustokebarn sneak p Chloe & Callum here’s your @shustokebarn sneak peek!⚡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So let’s talk about yesterday… what an incredible day at one of my favourites! It also just happened to be the hottest day of the year, it was WARM! ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s so much I could say, but let me summarize! We had a chicken with us during bridal prep, I fell down a step and nearly dropped a camera! We had laughs for days, we had bubble guns for confetti, which turned into adults and us playing with them for photos! 🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There was the entertainment, live music during cocktail hour, with a Latino feel, Balearic terrace vibes in the evening and to top it off we got the most insane sunset! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You guys absolutely rocked it and in that heat too! Not forgetting the star of the show, your daughter ‘Lana’ who always had a smile on her face! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s a few of my faves, can’t wait to share more! 📸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Supplier love - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue - @shustokebarn Chain - @crippsandco Wedding gown - @elyseebridaldesign Bridal boutique - @tdrbridalbirmingham Venue decor - @foxandfauxstyling Hair - @sarahjayemua Mua - @makeupby_harper Bridesmaids outfits - @jacquelinelouisebridal Suits - @peterposhsuit Videographer - @imoshaweddings Content creator - @loveandcontent_uk Live band - @synergyliveband Illustrator - @whilehugosleepsco DJ - @bennysmythdj Cake - @staceys_cake_creations Car - @cvshire ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #destinationweddingphotography #shustoke #shustokefarmbarns #bridetobe2026 #bridetobe2027 #bridalfashion #weddingstory #barnweddings #barnwedding #birminghammua #birminghamwedding #highendweddings #westmidlandswedding #weddingdressideas #bohoweddings #weddingceremonyideas #weddingdressinspiration #weddingdressinspo #weddingflowersinspiration #elyseebridal #weddingplanningtips #weddingvenuehunting #rusticbarnwedding #rusticbarn #barnweddingvenue #elyseebride
