I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Sophie and Josh’s stunning wedding at Earth Trust in May 2024. If you’ve never heard of Earth Trust Weddings, it’s a breathtaking venue nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, surrounded by rolling fields, wildflower meadows, and the iconic Wittenham Clumps. It’s a perfect choice for couples looking for a relaxed, nature-inspired wedding with stunning views and a beautiful outdoor space for their ceremony.The beauty of Earth Trust is that it allowed both bridal and groom prep to take place on-site, which meant I could easily move between both parties and capture the full story of their day – from the excited morning preparations to the wild dance moves in the evening!
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Under clear blue skies and glorious sunshine, Sophie and Josh said their vows outside beneath the beautiful sun canopy, surrounded by their closest family and friends. One of my favorite moments was seeing Sophie being walked down the aisle by her dad and granddad – such a heartfelt and memorable touch to the day.
Another standout moment was watching Sophie and Josh’s two adorable boys, Roman and Zach, walk side-by-side down the aisle in their super-smart suits. They looked absolutely brilliant and played such a special role in their parents’ day – moments like these are what make weddings so unique and memorable.
After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed drinks and laughter in the venue’s stunning gardens. This relaxed atmosphere was perfect for some formal family group photos, capturing all the important people in Sophie and Josh’s lives. It wasn’t long before guests were called in to take their seats for heartfelt speeches and delicious food – always such a lovely part of the day to document.
As the sun began to set, I whisked Sophie and Josh away for a little walk around the grounds. The golden evening light was just perfect, allowing us to capture some truly romantic portraits that I know they will cherish forever. Those peaceful moments after the hustle and bustle of the day are always some of my favorite times to capture.
As night fell, it was time to let loose! With Oxford Discos bringing the tunes, guests hit the dance floor and danced the night away – and wow, what a party it was! From impressive dance moves to heartfelt embraces, the energy in the room was just amazing.
A huge congratulations to Sophie and Josh – it was an absolute honor to capture your wedding day. Wishing you both (and your lovely boys and the newest member of the Taylor family Indie moon!) a lifetime of love, happiness, and beautiful adventures together.
