Amelia and Thomas met in their church choir, so a hymn-filled ceremony in the village church where Amelia was baptised was never in question. They asked us for honest black and white pictures that would still feel true in fifty years.

The Venue
A twelfth-century parish church of honey-coloured stone, followed by a garden reception at a nearby manor. Narrow aisles, old oak pews and leaded windows gave us soft, directional light.
Light & Mood
We photographed the service without flash, out of respect for the ceremony and the vicar's wishes. Window light fell across the vows, the exchange of rings and the first kiss, and black and white kept every frame quiet and timeless.
Styling
Amelia wore a long-sleeved lace gown and her grandmother's cathedral veil. Thomas wore a classic morning suit. White roses and trailing ivy dressed the pew ends and the altar.
The Day
From a prayer with her father before leaving for church, to the bells ringing as they walked out as husband and wife and a candlelit dinner under the trees, our two photographers and one filmmaker followed the day quietly from start to finish.
