SWANCAR FARM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
My day began with a few quiet moments capturing Safina getting her hair and makeup done—a calm before the storm. Shortly after, the morning quickly picked up pace, becoming lively and bustling as everyone hurried to prepare for the big day ahead.
After Safina slipped into her wedding dress and guests began arriving, it was time to move into the stunning new wedding ceremony room at Swancar Farm Country House, a beautiful Nottinghamshire wedding venue.
James was already waiting, and the anticipation was high as everyone awaited Safina’s walk down the aisle—from the Bridal Suite to the iconic Glass Barn. The excitement in the air marked the beginning of a truly unforgettable moment captured with my documentary wedding photography style.
One of the things I love most about wedding photography is capturing the meaningful looks and fleeting moments shared between people—glimpses into the relationships and emotions that make each wedding unique.
What truly stood out during Safina and James’ wedding at Swancar Farm was the genuine connection between everyone present. From the smallest gestures to the most significant moments, it was clear this day was a heartfelt celebration filled with love, warmth, and lasting bonds—perfect for my documentary wedding photography style.
The walk down the aisle with Dad was one of the most emotional moments of the day. Everyone was visibly moved—guests, family members, and especially James. The moment he and Safina locked eyes, his emotions took over completely.
When capturing the bride’s walk down the aisle, my approach as a documentary wedding photographer is to remain as unobtrusive as possible. I avoid interfering, moving quietly and carefully to stay out of the way.
It’s crucial that the couple experiences this beautiful moment without distraction. To achieve this, I keep my camera low and out of sight, blending seamlessly into the background to preserve the authenticity and emotion of the scene.
The Glass Barn at Swancar Farm Country House is an absolutely stunning venue for a wedding ceremony. Its large, elegant windows flood the space with dramatic natural light, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere—perfect for exchanging heartfelt vows.
The ceremony itself was incredibly emotional. The room was charged with feeling from the moment Safina and her dad walked down the aisle, but when James’ sister read a heartfelt poem, the emotions deepened even further. It was such a moving moment that even I had to pause briefly to compose myself.
As a Swancar Farm wedding photographer, capturing these genuine, unscripted moments is what makes my work so rewarding.
The wedding speeches are always a highlight of the day. It’s when Dad gets the chance to embarrass his daughter, funny stories from the stag do come to light, and heartfelt toasts are raised in memory of loved ones no longer with us. These moments are often filled with laughter, tears, and touching memories—creating lasting impressions that make the day truly unforgettable.
As a documentary wedding photographer, capturing these genuine emotions and candid reactions is what I love most about my work.
One of the moments I always focus on during the first dance is capturing the genuine reactions of the guests. It’s so special when everyone is fully present, truly watching the happy couple—rather than viewing through the lens of their mobile phones.
I especially love catching the bridesmaids, completely absorbed and soaking in every detail of their best friend’s first dance. It’s these authentic, emotional reactions that add even more meaning to the moment, and they’re exactly the kind of candid memories I aim to capture as a documentary wedding photographer.
