Photographing a Swynford Manor wedding

Vergi and Tariq’s June wedding made the most of Swynford Manor’s grounds. The ceremony was outdoors, followed by a confetti walk, and guests were salsa dancing in the sun by the afternoon. As Tariq mentioned in their review, I took them to one side for a few minutes alone outside at sunset, with the mature trees and open lawns behind them. Their first dance entrance to drums and flutes lit up the evening.

The couple made sure it was a celebration of both their cultures, incorporating Turkish traditions, including entering their first dance to drums and flutes.

A Riki Dalal dress and white jacket tux, slow dancing to John Legend and salsa dancing in the sun, this wedding oozed elegance, love and enjoyment.

Swynford Manor June Wedding

Vergi and Tariq are a brilliant couple who I bonded with instantly. From the first moment I met them in a local bar close to their house, I knew they would make this wedding special. They have a great attitude to life and their wedding really reflected their true personalities. I feel like I’ve known them for years and must thank them for making my job of documenting their big day a real pleasure.

As always a big thank-you to Alice and all the Swynford Manor staff. Their continued care and attention to detail ensure every wedding runs perfectly.

I wish Vergi and Tariq all the best in the future and look forward to seeing more of Tariq’s famous Insta stories very soon!

Kind Words

When it came to finding our photographer we had some difficulty in picking as there is so much to think about. We knew what we wanted but it took a while to find it. We needed someone to capture the emotion and love going on through the day instead of staging all the photos and having us pose here and there.

Matt Wing definitely met that expectation. All of his pictures were taken in a way that when we look at them now, we can imagine that very moment over and over again. He literally hides in the bushes and grass to make sure that we got natural love filled pictures aswell as a few organised group photos during the day.

Throughout the day, he took us to one side so that we got some amazing pictures outside with the sunset on our own together and you can imagine during the ceremony it can be quite hard to step away with your new wife to take some good pictures.

Other suppliers stayed until the first dance was finished however Matt stayed during the party until he was happy he got all parts of the day.

Very easy to work with. Very flexible, outgoing and patient person to work with who understands exactly what is going on. Would recommend Matt to anybody as he 100% knows what hes doing.
