Willow Barn Kent Autumn St Clements Styled Bridal Photo Shoot

Styled shoots can be tricky to organise, with so many suppliers having to come together on the same day to provide key elements for the day to be a success. After organising the previous styled bridal/wedding shoot at Nurstead Court, it was nice to have this one taken out of my hands a little - but I knew I wanted to be on board as the photographer. This time the theme was going to be a St Clements styled shoot. lots of vibrant bright colours that perfectly match with the end of summer.

I hadn't long been home from a short holiday to Dubai when this shoot rolled around. Thankfully it wasn't too far away, just outside Ashford in Kent. The venue was a newly renovated barn as part of a small farm. The idea was to eventually use the barn and surrounding grounds as a wedding and event venue. With rustic or barn style weddings now especially popular, we all wanted to capitalise on this space and give it a bit of personality.

There were a number of key suppliers and vendors present from the previous styled shoot, as well as some newcomers too. It was a pretty jam-packed day, and I found myself busy for most of it, with elements to photograph outside and inside - from the amazing VW campervan, to table arrangements, seating areas and details. We even had two distinct looks, starting with a flowing boho dress, to a more traditional lace outfit and veil to match.

Lea was a great model for the day, despite not much experience, and even without a 'groom' present it was a great way to showcase some colour and style, as well as the lovely little venue we had to use. I love my wedding photography to have a bright and airy feel, and really enjoy all those little details that make the experience all come together. If you're planning a bright and summery festival vibe wedding, check out my collections and pricing and get in touch for a chat!
