There are some wedding venues that simply stay with you, not just because of how they look, but because of how they feel. Bower in the wood is one of those rare places. Tucked gently into the landscape you forget just how close you are to the A21 located less than a mile away from the venue, that's not to say that you ever hear the road.

Olivia & Chris's wedding really reminded me why I got into wedding photography. connecting with great couples in some amazing places.

One of the most beautiful things about Bower in the wood is how effortlessly it lends itself to a low maintenance wedding, it doesn't need heavy styling or elaborate decoration because nature has already done its work. When talking with team at Bower, they mention how they like to just let nature takes it course, meaning that no two wedding days are the same, I love that !

After the ceremony, we took some time to wander through the woods ( Not too much time ) but enough time to capture Olivia & Chris for their couples portraits. This is part of the day which I find most couples worry as they worry that they are going to have pose for photos however I just love capturing my couples walking through nature, if my couples want to stop for a cuddle and a kiss then that also fine.
