Even more stunning weddings and a handful if styled shoots kept us really busy! In this post you'll find features from our gorgeous 'Escape to Oz' shoot which was based on the Disney film 'Oz the Great and Powerful' - it was heavily blogged and also featured in Perfect Wedding Magazine, too. And also, our 'Winters Romance' shoot which produced some of the most gorgeous shots of Horseshoes Barn decked out in all it's glory. Both of these shoots were photographed by the lovely Kerry Ann Duffy , who knows the venue so very well now and always has the same vision as me! Our real weddings were featured on some lovely wedding blogs, too. Lisa and Louis's 'Pride and Prejudice' marquee wedding graced the pages over on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, and Boho Weddings featured two of our lovely country barn weddings.

The shoot is full of soft shades and gleaming metallics, with a variety of textures to add some unique contrasts. Our real couple Meg and Kenny were the perfect models for us and we loved capturing their love for each other, and just look at Meg's make up! What a stunner, a huge thank you to our Make Up artist Nicola Peen for creating such a gorgeous romantic look. Kerry Ann also featured the images on her own blog which you will find here .

Of course he did, it was a cracker and a really fun experience for us! Unfortunately there is no longer a link to watch the episode online anymore but do keep an eye out for any repeats - it was episode 11 of season 7.

The second look captured more colour and vibrancy with awesome festival style details. The third look was different again with the woodland area of The House Meadow providing the backdrop. And finally, the fourth look was relaxed and bohemian with all the gorgeous models relaxing in the evening sun. Which is your favourite?

Chloe from Caught The Light is the photographer responsible for this little gem, and Matt and Jess are the beeeeeautiful couple. This wedding, to me, if the definition of rustic elegance. Every detail even in its simplicity was absolutely beautiful, timeless, I adore it. The humanist ceremony was conducted under our ancient Oak Tree, and the reception was held in the meadow within Stretch Tents . I have to take a moment to remember a few highlights of this wedding and the two most notable things for me (following on from this ceremony setting!) were the Outdoor Lounge area which was highlighted with twinkling festoon lights, and Jess's dress...it had polka dots AND pockets, need I say more?
