From the moment I arrived to photograph Amber and Michell’s wedding, I knew it was going to be a day full of love and unique touches. The morning began at two seaside houses, each buzzing with excitement and anticipation. <3

Amber got ready in a charming seaside house, where the morning was filled with the delightful chaos of busy feet, laughter, and freshly ironed dresses. Amber's choice of a sleek, sleeveless dress from Hera Couture was a modern chic dream, complete with a dramatic bow at the back. Her Loeffler Randall shoes added something blue in style. When Amber finally stepped into her dress, the room erupted in cheers and tears of joy—truly a moving moment.

Meanwhile, Mitchell was also getting ready at a nearby seaside house. He opted for a beige suit from Joe Black and a pink tie that beautifully complemented the bridesmaids’ satin dresses. Looking dapper alongside his groomsmen, Mitchell is ready for his big moment.

Amber and Mitchell’s ceremony took place at the Old Forest School, a venue that holds a special place in their hearts. The venue’s history as a former school, now lovingly restored with vintage charm, made it the perfect backdrop for their wedding. As a primary school teacher, Amber found even more significance in this unique setting.

The ceremony itself was held in a picturesque woodland area, where Handpicked Florists had created stunning floral columns in vibrant pinks and magentas. The couple exchanged vows beneath a grand old tree, with the occasional sound of donkeys in the distance adding a sense of humor to the emotional moment. It was a ceremony filled with tears and chuckles.

After the ceremony, the high spirits continued as Amber and Mitchell poured their wedding champaign tower. They also had a few games the tennis field, and visited the old classroom where a giant blackboard served as a guest messaging book, filled with heartfelt wishes.

The reception was a blast. Amber and Mitchell’s first dance took place in the schoolyard, under a canopy of ivy and twinkling fairy lights. The night continued with the upbeat songs of Taylor Swift, and the dance floor was lit with energy and joy.

Amber and Mitchell’s wedding was a celebration of love and individuality, set against the enchanting backdrop of Old Forest School. It was a day I’ll always cherish, filled with special moments and unforgettable memories <3
