We were back for another Milling Barn Wedding in April! This time for the wedding of Rosie & Kieran. It started off as a really hot and sunny day, quite unusual for April, but most welcomed!
The Bridal preparations were underway with the hair and makeup artists already working their magic.
There are a number of “must have” shots that I look for, but none are as special as capturing the father of the bride seeing his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time. In all my years as a wedding photographer, it still moves me to see the emotion and joy of this occasion.
The groomsmen were getting ready at the Milling Barn Wedding venue, and shortly after, the wedding ceremony was ready to begin in the Oak Barn.
The Wedding Ceremony in the Oak Barn
I used to always use a ladder for our big group shots, but these days we use our drone!
Some couples choose to have family and group photos and others do not. We don’t mind either way!
We then took the bride and groom around the milling barn wedding venue for their portrait shots of them together.
The guests would shortly be called for the wedding breakfast, so we headed back to capture the details of the room before the guests took their seats.
The wedding breakfast was served, and so at this time, we down our tools to recharge our batteries (sometimes literally). After the meal, again we continue with our natural coverage of the wedding guests having fun and mingling together.
As the sun began to set, it was time to cut the cake, and for the first dance.
I enjoy taking the couple out in the night, not just to give them a breather, but to also capture some epic night time shots.
