Outdoor Ceremony at Badgers Mount Hotel

Natasha made her way down the aisle first, quietly confident and saying hello to people as she walked through, which felt so perfectly her. Then followed Ellie with her dad, a little bit emotional but from the moment she reached Natasha it was just smiles, romantic little glances and laughter all round.

The fabulously funny Best Women stood proudly at the front not only as witnesses, but also as the highly important carriers of the rings.

The ceremony itself felt really intimate despite being outdoors, just relaxed, joyful, and full of genuine connection.

Drinks, Canapés & Bridgerton Vibes

After the ceremony, everyone spilled out onto the lawn for drinks and canapés, soaking up the atmosphere and making the most of the weather.

A live quartet played in the background, bringing those effortless Bridgerton vibes; soft, elegant, and just the right level of background energy without taking over the moment.

There was no rush, no strict timeline, just people chatting, laughing, and enjoying being together.

True to the tone of the day, group photos were kept short and sweet; just a few short minutes, a handful of key shots, and then everyone was free to get back to enjoying themselves.

No long lists, no dragging things out.

Exactly how it should be.

Marquee Reception & Speeches

The marquee looked beautiful in the summer light and was filled with that warm, happy atmosphere you only really get when it’s a smaller wedding and everyone genuinely knows each other.

The speeches were absolutely hilarious in parts, emotional in others, and had everyone either laughing loudly or wiping away the tears.

Possibly both simultaneously.

The whole thing felt so easy and natural, which completely reflected Ellie & Natasha as a couple.

Couple Portraits at Badgers Mount Hotel

After food, I whisked Ellie & Natasha away for a little wander around the grounds of Badgers Mount Hotel for some relaxed portraits.

Nothing overly posed or dramatic, just the two of them enjoying a few quiet moments together whilst the rest of the wedding carried on in the background.

The light was soft, golden and ridiculously dreamy by this point too. It felt like the perfect ending to such a relaxed and joyful day; a beautifully simple wedding done absolutely right.
