Josie & Ben
The Manor Barn
Cambridgeshire
From the moment I met Josie, Ben, and their adorable Jack Russell, Chester, at their engagement shoot back in June, I knew their wedding was going to be something special. They’re just one of those couples you instantly click with, and I couldn’t wait for their big day!
The day started at the chic Turing Locke Hotel in Cambridge, where Josie, Ben, and their closest loved ones were getting ready. The modern, stylish vibe of the hotel provided the perfect backdrop for capturing those intimate shots before the main event.
When I arrived at The Manor Barn, I was once again reminded why it’s one of my all-time favorite venues. Nestled in the heart of Cambridgeshire, this place has a charm like no other. Every time I shoot there, I’m amazed at how it keeps evolving, with new features and touches added by the lovely family who owns it. This time, the setting was more magical than ever, enhanced by Josie and Ben’s carefully curated autumnal theme. The array of orange, pink and red tones paired with lush greens felt like autumn had embraced the barn itself. The floral arrangements by Thatch and Roses were next-level gorgeous! Even as someone who has seen a fair share of wedding setups, I was blown away by how it all looked with every detail meticulously thought out. It was so stunning that even the male guests (who are often not the first to comment on décor!) were overheard saying, "wow." You know a setup is incredible when everyone takes a moment to appreciate it.
As evening approached Josie surprised everyone by changing into her second dress of the day—a super cute mini dress from Morgan Davies, complete with a big bow, it was made for dancing…and dance she did!
Personal Highlight:
The goats! I think one had a crush on Ben. Watch your back Josie!
