Hilarious, Heartfelt & Full of Banter | Rachel & Dan’s Bredenbury Court Barns Wedding

Some weddings are just extra special, not because of the weather or the décor (though those were fab too), but because of the people.

And Rachel & Dan? Absolute legends!!!

Their wedding at Bredenbury Court Barns in Herefordshire was non-stop laughter, cheeky banter, and surprise tears from the groom (yep, Dan… I’m looking at you 😅).

How We Met

I actually met Rachel and Dan at another wedding I photographed, and from the moment we connected, it’s been absolute comedy.

Having already spent time with them before their big day, it felt like I was shooting a mate’s wedding. And that made it all the more fun, and chaotic, and dangerous in the best way possible.

Every Moment Captured

Getting Ready at Bredenbury Court

The morning started chilled but full of buzz. Bredenbury’s setup makes it so easy for both sides of the party to get ready without any stress. Rachel was calm (but excited), while Dan was… well, adamant he wouldn’t cry. 🙃

Your Story Begins

That Moment He Cried (Sorry Dan, I Had To)

Fast forward to the ceremony. Rachel walked down the aisle looking absolutely stunning, and Dan who’d confidently claimed he’d “definitely not cry” immediately proved himself wrong.

It was such a genuine, emotional moment, and honestly, those are my favourite to capture and take the piss out of him too!

Portraits: Chaos, Laughter & Magic Light

Portrait sessions with these two? HILARIOUS. We were supposed to be getting the romantic stuff, and we did  eventually but not without a lot of belly laughs and random chaos in between.

That’s the kind of energy I live for. The light, the location, and the chemistry between these two made it so easy to capture magic without it ever feeling forced.

Every Moment Captured

A Dancefloor for the History Books

When I say this dancefloor went off, I mean it. From first dance to full-on party mode, the energy was next level. Everyone was up, the moves were flying, and I lost count of how many times I was laughing behind the camera. It was the perfect end to a day full of love, laughter, and completely unfiltered joy.

Why Bredenbury Court Barns Is Always a Winner

If you’re looking for a wedding venue in Herefordshire that’s as beautiful as it is functional, Bredenbury Court Barns ticks every box. With its exposed beams, tons of natural light, and sweeping countryside views, it’s perfect for couples who want a laid-back vibe without sacrificing elegance. And from a photographer’s perspective? The light, the layout, and the portrait spots are top-tier.

Final Thoughts

Rachel & Dan’s wedding was exactly why I love what I do. Laid-back vibes, emotional moments, outrageous banter and above all, two people madly in love, surrounded by their favourite humans.
