Vintage Charm with a Morgan Sports Car
After the ceremony, we took advantage of the stunning surroundings for the couple’s photos. Lauren and Will arrived in style, thanks to a lovely vintage Morgan sports cabriolet. This charming car added a touch of elegance and nostalgia to their wedding photos. If you’re considering a vintage ride for your own wedding, I highly recommend checking out Classic Car Hire for a fantastic selection of classic cars that can elevate your wedding experience.

During the drinks reception, guests were treated to the enchanting sounds of Manila Strings. Their music set a delightful mood, and it was wonderful to see everyone dancing and singing along. The combination of live music and a beautiful setting at Tulfarris makes for an unforgettable reception.
I always recommend incorporating entertainment like a magician into weddings. A magician can create memorable moments that bring smiles and laughter, enhancing the overall experience for guests. If you’re interested, check out my insights on why hiring a magician is a great idea.

The Timelessness of Black and White Photography
As I reflect on the beauty of Lauren and Will’s wedding, I can’t help but appreciate the magic of black and white photography. This style, which is where my passion began, has a unique ability to capture emotion and tell a story without the distraction of color. My journey started about 40 years ago with my father, who introduced me to photography using a Zorky 4 Russian analogue film camera. We would develop photos together in a dark room, and those memories remain close to my heart.
While color photography has its own charm, black and white images evoke a timeless quality that resonates with many couples. It allows the viewer to focus on the expressions, textures, and emotions present in each frame. Even after a decade, these images retain their beauty and significance, unlike trends that can date a photo.
I’ve always believed in maintaining a natural look in my work. Many clients choose me because they appreciate my vibrant color editing that remains true to life, without the brown or green tints that can often overwhelm photos. My approach steers clear of preset madness; I strive for images that capture the moment in its purest form. From now I will offer Analogue Wedding Photography Film 35 mm

Tulfarris Hotel truly is a magical venue for weddings, offering a combination of stunning scenery, elegant decor, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a beautiful spot for your ceremony or an incredible backdrop for your photos, Tulfarris has it all.
Lauren and Will’s wedding was a testament to the charm of this venue, and I’m grateful to have been a part of their special day.

I’d strongly recommend booking an experienced wedding photographer for a half-day package rather than opting for a less experienced photographer or a family friend with a camera for full-day coverage.
Enjoy your planning! :)
