Ella & Ryan / Rackleys Barn

A Rackleys Barn wedding in late July, and the Chilterns showing off: wildflower meadows, an oak-framed barn strung with festoon, and a black-tie wedding party that looked like a film poster against the heathland gates. Ella & Ryan’s day ran on laughter — hers especially, which you’ll spot roughly every third frame.

I’m a recommended supplier at Rackleys Barn, and days like this are why: the meadow is a golden-hour machine, the barn glows after dark, and the whole site photographs documentary-style without a single posed set-up needed.
