Bury Court Barn | Emma + Max
Bury Court Barn Wedding
I had the pleasure of being a Bury Court Barn wedding photographer for Emma and Max’s stunning wedding at Bury Court Barn in Farnham, Surrey. This was my first time photographing a wedding at the venue, and I immediately fell in love with the nature-filled surroundings. The outdoor spaces, surrounded by trees and greenery, created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed and intimate celebration. Bury Court Barn offers endless opportunities for creative wedding photography, and I look forward to returning.
Emma and Max booked me for a full day, from the morning prep to the evening dancing, with everything happening on-site. This allowed me to really immerse myself in their story and document every moment of the day. As a wedding photographer in Surrey, my priority is always capturing the natural, emotional moments between the couple and their loved ones. While I do capture venue shots and details, these are there to set the scene, not the focus of my work. I’m all about telling the story of the day through people.
When I arrived at Bury Court Barn, bags packed and ready to go, I headed straight to find Emma and Max. I like to start the morning by chatting with the couple, getting a feel for their last couple of days leading up to the wedding. It’s a chance for everyone to get used to my presence and for me to establish a connection with them before I take any photos. This approach ensures the photos feel natural and authentic.
The morning was calm and beautiful, with Emma getting her makeup done in one building while Max spent time with his groomsmen in another. I moved between the two, soaking in the sunshine and looking for quiet moments and connections between family and friends. I aim to stay close to the action, creating intimate photos that make you feel like you're right there, experiencing the day with the couple.
The ceremony at Bury Court Barn was unforgettable. With a bright August day, Emma and Max chose to marry outside, surrounded by trees. Emma looked stunning as she walked down the aisle, and in a moment of excitement, she leapt towards Max before the bridesmaid could adjust her dress! It was a candid and joyful moment, and I was right there to capture it.
One of the highlights of the ceremony was when Emma and Max surprised their guests with a sing-a-long to ease nerves and lift the energy. This personal touch was a wonderful way to make the ceremony feel more relaxed and fun, and I was grateful to capture it.
The rest of the day unfolded with outdoor photos, a wedding breakfast, speeches, and dancing. The nature-filled atmosphere at Bury Court Barn made for a truly memorable celebration.
