Suffolk Wedding Photography for Francesca and Nick at their Family Home

Suffolk Wedding Photographers October James Photography

When you get to photograph weddings this amazing, there can be few better jobs than that of a Suffolk Wedding Photographer.

This wonderful wedding took place around a beautiful, imposing farmhouse in Barham, Suffolk which has been in the family for generations. Our groom, Nick, his bestman and groomsman got ready at the home before they moved to a nearby pub to finalise their preparations!!. Bridal preparations took place nearby at Retreat East in Hemingstone. Francesca wore the most beautiful wedding dress - Monstera from Ukrainian designer Alena Leena. Each dress is made bespoke but the breakout of the war meant Francesca's dress couldn't be completed. The designer however located a similar sample in the United States and shipped to the UK for completion. The quality and design of this wedding dress was absolutely exceptional - one of the finest we've ever seen.

The wedding ceremony took place in St Peter's church in Barham, Suffolk which lies on the edge of the family farm and was packed with well-wishers. Beautiful floral displays and bouquets were provided by Khloris of Needham Market. After a long confetti-tunnel, the newlyweds departed in a magnificent Jaguar XK120 convertible. This stunning car has been painstakingly restored by a close family friend and almost got as much attention as the bride and groom! At the request of the couple, we included this fine vehicle in many of their portraits. One of the farm's huge barns had been converted to hold the wedding breakfast and evening reception with delicious catering provided by My Kitchen, Your Place of Lavenham, Suffolk

The partying went on long into the night and we left feeling delighted and priveledged to have photographed this very special wedding.
