The Wedding Day



As a Bigstrup Farm Wedding Photographer, I had the joy of capturing Elga and Ross’s beautiful wedding at Bigstrup Farm, a picturesque venue nestled in Dinton, Buckinghamshire. Their wedding, set on a sunny weekend in September, was a delightful blend of rustic charm and joyful celebration.

My photographic journey began with capturing Ross as he prepared for his big day, assisted by his two best men. These moments were filled with laughter and camaraderie, setting a lively tone for the day. I then moved on to document Ross welcoming his guests to the venue. The air was electric with excitement, and the hugs and happy faces of the guests were a pleasure to photograph.

Elga’s grand arrival with her father in a classic 1937 Rolls Royce was a moment of timeless elegance. I captured a ‘first look’ photo of them before the ceremony in the beautiful gardens of Bigstrup Farm, a perfect setting for such a grand entrance.

The ceremony itself was set against the stunning backdrop of the countryside. The gardens of Bigstrup Farm provided a scenic and serene atmosphere. My favorite photographs were those capturing Ross and Elga walking back down the aisle, surrounded by a flurry of confetti – moments of pure joy and celebration.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds took a brief drive in their Rolls Royce wedding car, allowing for some intimate moments together. Upon their return, I captured a series of portraits with the car, adding a touch of vintage glamour to their wedding album.

The reception was a lively affair. I focused on capturing documentary-style photos of the guests mingling, encapsulating the relaxed and joyful spirit of the day. The speeches, held in the charming barn, were heartfelt and humorous, perfectly complementing the rustic ambiance. Guests were then treated to a choice of BBQ or pizza for the wedding breakfast, catering to all tastes and adding a unique twist to the traditional wedding fare.

In the afternoon, the guests enjoyed a variety of garden games. These moments were not only fun to capture but also highlighted the laid-back and fun-filled atmosphere of Elga and Ross’s wedding.

As the evening set in, the barn transformed into a vibrant party space, with guests dancing the night away. The energy and happiness were infectious, making it a joyous end to a perfect day.

Elga and Ross’s wedding at Bigstrup Farm was a beautiful celebration of love, set in one of Buckinghamshire’s hidden gems. As a photographer specialized in Bigstrup Farm weddings, I take pride in capturing the essence of each unique wedding in this idyllic setting. If you’re planning your wedding at Bigstrup Farm or in the picturesque countryside of Buckinghamshire, I would be honoured to document your special day and create memories that will last a lifetime.

    We can’t recommend Andy enough. We found his work on Hitched and instantly fell in love with his photography.

    His communication was excellent from the day we booked and throughout the wedding day. Andy captured every aspect of our day and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

    Andy is a genuinely lovely person who makes you feel at ease, and his attention to detail is the best I’ve ever seen. The end result was amazing, our pictures are incredible and let you relive all the emotions again.

    When we received the first draft of our wedding album, the way Andy told our story through the pictures was mind-blowing, and the quality of the album is outstanding. Thank you so much, Andy, for capturing memories we’ll treasure forever. Xx
