Lee cottage, Charlbury, Oxfordshire, the home that Hannah grew up in and host to bridal preps. A quirky cottage that you could get lost in with it’s many levels and hidden rooms. I must admit, stepping inside, does give one an incredible urge for a cup of tea! It’s just that homely kind of place.

We adored this brazen blue ride. It’s classy and worthy of escorting a lady in Jimmy Choo’s I say!

Oh Hannah, this could be in the ‘behind the scenes’ section of vogue.

Rather than take a ride to the church up the road, Hannah chose for her, her bridesmaids and Dad to walk instead, the last walk through the village she grew up in as an unmarried woman.

We’ve shot many, many, many grooms! But Mr. Shakeshaft gave us this smug pose. Thank you sir, it’s golden.

And here we have Cripps Barn, Bilbury, Gloucestershire which played host to the reception. It’s such a pretty venue set amid acres of countryside and yellow rape fields. It felt like we were the only people for miles! We probably were. The blue sky completely complimented the vibrant green grass. Well done you two, a superb choice of venue!

The style for this wedding was incredibly different to what we are used to. The attention to detail was flawless and the end result created an elegance that whispered a unique perfection.

There was certainly a rustic vibe and those playing cards perfectly played on their personalities. We loved this detail!
