Stepping into the picturesque setting of Steventon House Hotel, I found myself immersed in the love story of Lindsay-Dee and Jonny. Their wedding day was a beautiful blend of elegance and heartfelt moments, made even more special by the presence of their two adorable children, Ava and Hunter, who stole the show as flower girl and pageboy.

The day began with a flurry of excitement as Lindsay-Dee and her bridal party prepared at her parents' home, while Jonny and his son Hunter got ready at his parents' place, surrounded by his brother and parents. It was a joy to witness the anticipation and nervous energy as they each prepared to embark on this new chapter of their lives.

As a documentary wedding photographer, my approach is all about observing and listening. I believe that the most beautiful moments are often the unstaged ones, where genuine emotions shine through. From the tender moments shared between Lindsay-Dee and her parents, to the laughter and camaraderie among Jonny and his family as they joked and teased each other, every moment was a treasure waiting to be captured.
