Laid back and Fun Summer Wedding at Ridge farm, Surrey
If you’re planning your Big Day at Ridge farm in Surrey, you’ll enjoy reading about this wedding!
Amber and Nick got married at the beautiful Ridge farm – a unique wedding space in Surrey, where you get exclusive use of the venue for the whole weekend, which means that you and your guests can relax and enjoy celebrations, turning your wedding into a multi-day experience.
Amber and Nick wanted to have a big party, a day full of laughter, joy, dancing and good times. Their baby girl was in the bridal party, so I knew how important it was for me to capture this wedding in the most special way, and to create memories for their family.
Morning Preparations
The venue has a charming bridal cottage onsite. I really enjoy covering morning preparations there, as it has so much character, and the light there is sublime.
The Wedding Ceremony
The ceremony was outside, and it was beautifully set up with pretty flowers and a floral arch. We ended up having a traditional British mixed weather of showers and a bright sunshine, which didn’t stop the couple and everyone else from having the most special experience.
The Wedding Reception
After the ceremony, I was photographing the couple with their families and friends and also taking some candid photos of the guests enjoying canapes ad drinks.
Ridge farm has the most perfect backdrops for group photos, so we got through them quickly before moving on to the couple shoot with Amber and Nick.
The wedding breakfast room looked gorgeous. The guests gave couple a huge cheer, when they were entering as Mr & Mrs for the first time. There was such happy energy in the room.
Couple Portrait Photos
Amber was wearing a stunning dress with lace, and a long veil. Nick was wearing a three-piece navy suit. They looked so gorgeous and happy together.
I split the couple shoot into two sessions as I knew that we were going to get a beautiful golden hour in the evening and I really wanted to take advantage of it.
Ridge farm has so many beautiful backdrops – the houses, the camping yurts, pretty greenery – there is so much choice and variety!
Review
Amber and Nick got in touch with me about two years before their wedding, saying that they really liked my candid, natural and relaxed style, and that this is exactly what they were looking for.
Here is what they said afterwards:
“Yana was an incredible wedding photographer, we are so pleased to have found her! From start to finish she was so lovely to work with and super organised. She made us feel very at ease with all the photos during the couples shoot! We absolutely love our photos and she captured everything we wanted including photos with our 8 month old daughter which we will cherish forever!! Thank you so much!
