Elmley Nature Reserve Summer Wedding

Rosie and Paul tied the knot surrounded by wild beauty and sweeping skies at Elmley Nature Reserve. Both got ready on site—Rosie with the incredible Kate Tighe for hair and make-up, and Paul in a sharp Norton and Townsend suit—with a calm, joyful energy running through the morning.

Their outdoor ceremony felt effortlessly romantic, framed by the peaceful, open landscape. Beacon Bloom’s floral designs brought soft, natural tones to the setting, perfectly complementing Rosie’s elegant style—think Stuart Weitzman heels, Jennifer Behr earrings, and the absolute showstopper of a dress from Danielle Frankel. 

Afterwards, guests gathered in the barn, styled with beautiful linens and placemats from Boelle Events and glasses from A Touch of Vintage that added the most charming touch. Urban Pantry served up a feast, followed by cake from Abbey Cakes. As the sun set, Joe on Sax and Truly Medley Deeply kept the party going into the night.

Relaxed, stylish, and full of feeling—Rosie and Paul’s day was pure joy. As a natural and relaxed UK based wedding photographer I loved working at Elmley Nature Reserve. Their weddings have a really unique atmosphere—relaxed, intimate, and beautiful in the soft evening light, the perfect setting for natural, relaxed and elegant wedding photography.
