A Medieval Barn Banquet Lower Stockbridge Farm Barn Sherborne

Posted in: english country weddings wedding photography

Following their wedding ceremony in Part I here's Part II of Karen & Dougie's rustic country wedding was held in the medieval barn at Lower Stockbridge Farm.  This venue was perfect for the knees up they had planned in the evening, which began with a drink receptionin the Autumn sun.

We wondered through a nearby field with Karen and Dougie to make the most of the Golden Hour before the sun set and the Wedding Banquet began.

The medieval barn had been decorated with many homemade details including colourful bunting, springs of wheat tied up in each napkin, fur cone place name holders and homemade chutney wedding favours, even the cake stand had been made from the branch of a tree.

As soon as the band were set everyine took to the dance floor and danced the night away!

Rustic-Country-Wedding Sherborne Karen & Dougie

Posted in: english country weddings wedding photography

Karen and Dougie got married on the 15th October in Bradford Abbas, a village just outside Sherborne.  I joined the girls at Karen's parents Farmhouse for the bridal preparations whilst Scott headed over to the boys in Sherborne town centre.

Karen and Dougie's wedding was full of rustic details perfect for an Autumn wedding and the weather was sunny all day.  

Dougie is Scottish and the couple met whilst living in New Zealand so there were many guests travelling a great distance to celebrate because of this many of the guests were also going back to Karen's parents Farmhouse for more celebrations the following day.

Once the boys were ready they headed off to the pub next door to the church for some drinks before the ceremony began.

Mary the virgin church is said to be one of Dorset's prettiest church, set in the picturesque village of Bradford Abbas just outside Sherborne.  Once the ceremony was complete guests left to the sound of Bagpipes as they made their way outside before heading off to Lower Stockbridge Farm Barn, where a banquet awaited in Part II.

Sherborne Wedding Photography St Mary Magdalene Dorset Rebecca & Giles

Posted in: wedding photography classical

Rebecca and Giles got married on 10th September at The Church of St Mary Magdalene in Castleton, Sherborne.  Castleton Church is nextdoor to the Sherborne Old Castle ruins just over the lake from the couples reception venue.

We began the day in the village of East Coker at Giles parents house where Rebecca and her Bridesmaids were getting ready.  Scott popped down the road to meet Giles and the boys at the local pub before they made their way to church.

St Mary Magdalene is a quaint Norman Church and quite unusual inside and out.  Following the ceremony we all travelled a stone's throw away to the other side of the lake where another Castle awaited.  

Rebecca & Giles Reception was held at Sherborne Castle and began with drinks in The Orangery; you can see the photographs from Part II here

Bradford Abbas engagement photography Karen & Dougie

Posted in: engagement photography

Karen & Dougie are getting married at Lower Stockbridge Farm Barn in October and are having a country rustic wedding with lots of handmade details!  

We met up with the couple in Bradford Abbas, which is a beautiful English Country Village just outside Sherborne.  Mary The Virgin Church is reputed to be one of the prettiest churches in Dorset and I would have to vouch for that.  

We took a stroll around the village and found a foot path leading to a river, so took some shots in the shade on the bridge, before making our way to the village pub and a lovely old phone box, which you don't see enough of these days.
