Crafting Authentic Moments at Your Huntsmill Wedding

_March 10

In an era where social media reigns supreme, your wedding day is not just about the "I dos".

At Huntsmill Farm, we believe in creating experiences that are deeply authentic and personal. Here are just a few spots where your special moments can be beautifully captured:

Capturing picture-worthy memories

The iconic phonebox

A nod to classic British charm, our red phonebox is a quirky yet iconic spot for photos. Imagine a playful kiss, a look of love, or a candid laugh captured in front of this vintage gem. It’s a spot that combines nostalgia with romance, perfect for couples looking for that blend of traditional and unique.

The rustic tractor

For the couple that embraces the countryside vibe, our vintage tractor offers a rustic, yet whimsically romantic setting. Picture yourselves perched atop, with the barn and grounds surrounding you, embodying the adventurous spirit of your love. It’s a photo that says, “We’re ready to embark on this journey together!”

The Huntsmill chair

Nestled amidst our enchanting gardens, just a short walk away from our barn entrance, the Huntsmill chair is more than just a seat; it’s a throne for the day when you two are royalty. It’s the perfect spot for intimate portraits or a moment of reflection amidst the day’s excitement. Your guests won’t be able to resist having their shot taken either!

Creating authentic moments

While these spots provide the canvas, the true art comes from the authentic moments you share. Here are some ways to ensure your wedding photographer captures the genuine joy and uniqueness of your relationship.

Unplugged ceremony

Encourage guests to put away their phones during the ceremony. This not only allows everyone to be fully present but also creates a more intimate atmosphere, where every smile, tear, and tender look is experienced rather than viewed through a screen.

Tip: You could ask guests switch their phone to airplane mode while the day unfolds. This way, you won’t have any unexpected phone calls disturbing crucial moments!

Candid captures

While posed photos have their place, there’s something magical about candid shots. Share with your photographer the timeline of your day so that they can prepare to capture those unguarded moments of laughter, tears, and dance floor antics. These are the images that will truly reflect the joy and essence of your day.

Personal touches

Incorporate elements into your day that reflect your personalities and story. Whether it’s a DIY decor project, table cards of your favourite places travelled together, or a playlist of songs that have defined your relationship, these personal touches make for meaningful moments that are worth sharing.

Embrace the imperfect

Remember, the most share-worthy moments are often the imperfect ones. A veil caught by the wind, a flower girl’s impromptu dance, or a mischievous ring bearer – these are the instances that bring warmth and personality to your day. Embrace them, laugh with them, and let them be part of your story.
