A Bassmead Manor Barns, Cambridgeshire, Wedding: Sara + Ben

Most of our weddings are London & Surrey based so we were particularly excited about Sara & Ben’s wedding. Bassmead Manor Barns is a beautiful venue tucked away in rural Cambridgeshire (completely randomly it is only a few miles from where Ally was born & spent the first 18 months of her life!).

Having met at university in Cambridge, Sara & Ben got engaged in 2014 in a remote cottage in Northumberland. On a glorious July day with their friends & family gathered around them, they said their vows & were married!

The day was seamless & perfect, from the bridal prep in the gorgeous Boudoir Suite through to dancing under a blanket of sparkly lights in the barn at the end of the evening.

Sara & Ben, we’re thrilled that you chose us to document your wedding – it was an absolute delight to be a part of your special day!  Here are just a few of our favourite photos…

Early on in the day I had a wander around the farm. As well as hosting weddings, Bassmead is a working farm. As I was shooting some location shots the farmer drove up & stopped for a chat. Turns out he knows my Uncle Tony who used to farm a few miles away. It’s a small world!Wedding photography at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire

The wedding day for Sara began with getting ready in the lovely Boudoir Suite at Bassmead.The bride getting ready for her wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe bride getting ready for her wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe bride getting ready for her wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireBride portraits before her wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireBride portraits before her wedding at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire

The handmade welsh gold engagement ring – an acknowledgement to Sara’s heritage – arrived the day before Ben was planning to propose! Their weddings rings were made by the same person.Wedding photography at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe Groom and his groomsmen at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire

The ceremony took place in the nostalgic & aptly named Rickety Barn. Wooden floors, exposed brickwork and beams that were most definitely rickety provided the perfect backdrop for the vows.Wedding photography at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe wedding ceremony at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe wedding ceremony at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe wedding ceremony at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe bride and groom with confetti at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire

We spent 20 minutes with Sara & Ben to capture their beautiful portraits. Thankfully they were completely happy with traipsing through the fields so that we could get these stunning shots!Bride and groom in a cornfield at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom in a cornfield at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom walking at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom walking at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyBride and groom at Bassmead Manor Barns in Cambridgeshire for their wedding photographyWedding photography at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireThe bride and groom cut the wedding cake at Bassmead Manor Barns in CambridgeshireGuests came from all around the world.

Happy first wedding anniversary to the very lovely Happy first wedding anniversary to the very lovely Laura & Sam! ❤️⁠
⁠
This time 12 months ago we would never have guessed that their February wedding would be one of only two full weddings that we would shoot during 2020. When they booked I thought February was an unusual month to get married, looking back now it was a genius move!⁠
