Church and Marquee wedding

There’s something special about a classic church wedding followed by a marquee reception. The mix of tradition and relaxed elegance makes for a seamless and memorable celebration. Recently, I had the privilege of photographing a wedding just like this—an emotional ceremony in a historic church, followed by a laid-back marquee reception filled with genuine moments.

A church wedding brings a sense of history and meaning, while a marquee reception offers the flexibility to create a space that truly reflects you as a couple. Whether in a family garden or a countryside setting, a marquee allows for a personal touch and a relaxed atmosphere.

If you’re planning a similar wedding, my biggest advice is to embrace the balance—honouring tradition while keeping the reception personal and enjoyable. And don’t skip the golden-hour portraits—you’ll be glad you took that time.

I loved photographing this wedding, and if you’re looking for natural, warm, and timeless photography for your day, I’d love to hear from you!
