Natalie and Nick chose Staffordshire venue Foxtail Barns for their March wedding, and it was a super fun day! Nick and Nat had the best energy and biggest smiles all day long, and you could really feel their joy as they celebrated with their guests.

After exchanging vows in the light-filled Orangery, Nick and Nat enjoyed welcome drinks in the sunny courtyard and walled garden. The couple requested lots of candid photos throughout the day, which is one of my favourite elements of capturing wedding days, although we did steal them away for a brief time for newlywed portraits in the beautiful gardens and woodland areas of the Consall Estate that surround the venue.

I had a great day second shooting for Charlene at Finlays Imaging (www.finlaysimaging.co.uk) and alongside Mark at Unity Films (www.unityweddings.co.uk)
