Louise & George / Primrose Hill Farm

A Primrose Hill Farm wedding in the last week of July, with the Oxfordshire countryside baked to gold. Louise & George married in the farm’s white-panelled barn — sage-green bridesmaids, trailing greenery overhead — then walked straight out into fields that looked like they’d been art-directed for the occasion.

I photographed the day documentary-style, start to finish: the quiet of the prep rooms, a ceremony with more than one happy heckle, confetti in the sunshine, and the smallest guest stealing half the frames. No shot lists, no posing — just the day as it happened.

A Primrose Hill Farm wedding, golden hour included

Primrose Hill Farm sits just outside Banbury, and in high summer its fields turn the colour of the champagne — golden-hour portraits here are as easy as opening a gate. Speeches ran on laughter, the dancefloor did the rest, and the in-house kitchen kept everyone exactly where caterers should: too well-fed to leave.
