A Micro Wedding at Brickhouse Vineyard, Devon.
I’m really excited to share this micro wedding from last June with you all. I was booked for just 4 hours to capture this intimate wedding with just eight people in total (that’s including the Bride and Groom) we also had Roxy the dog with us all day (and she was such a good girl!) The day started at Crablake Farm House in Exminster, which is roughly a ten minute drive from Brickhouse Vineyard. I absolutely loved photographing the interactions between Emma (the Bride) and her dog Roxy - Roxy loved being involved with the day and immediately decided that she loved laying on Emma’s dress, which Emma didn’t mind as it was so cute.
The rest of the day was held in The Roundhouse at Brickhouse Vineyard which features exposed red brick walls and a wooden beam ceiling. It is wonderfully rustic but also very elegant. Venue’s like this don’t need any décor as they look incredible as they are and I loved the simplicity of the set up for the ceremony. Roxy the dog was very excited to see her mummy when Emma walked down the aisle but she soon settled down so the ceremony could take place.
After the ceremony, Emma and Scott walked down a short confetti aisle, hugged their loved ones and then enjoyed a glass of champagne on the terrace. Emma and Scott hired a wedding sketcher who was busy painting inside The Roundhouse while the guests were enjoying the sunshine. Jana (the artist) took a few photos on her phone during the ceremony and then used her photos to work from. Once everyone had enjoyed a drink and a chat, we then made our way through the group photos that Emma and Scott had pre planned with me before the wedding.
After the group photos, it made sense to carry straight on with Emma and Scott’s just married portraits. Roxy got involved with some of these too!
Before I headed off, I took some photos of the cake cut and afternoon tea. I don’t normally take photos of people while they are eating but I made sure to focus on close ups of the food and didn’t photograph anyone with their mouth full, or anything like that. I think having some photos of people sat around the table, smiling and enjoying themselves was a perfect way to end my four hours of wedding coverage. I believe after their afternoon tea, everyone headed back to the accommodation and then later that evening they enjoyed a meal cooked by a private chef, at Crablake Farm House. What a wonderfully relaxed wedding!
