As the year comes to a close, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible weddings I had the privilege of capturing in 2024. From intimate countryside ceremonies to grand celebrations, this year has been nothing short of magical. Each couple brought their own unique energy and vision, and I’m grateful to have been part of their most cherished moments.
Here’s a look back at some of the weddings that made this year unforgettable.
Leanne & Eddie: Rustic Elegance at Notley Thythe Barn
Leanne and Eddie’s wedding was a perfect blend of charm and sophistication. Starting the day with Leanne at the Oxfordshire Golf and Spa Hotel, I captured the buzz and anticipation before they said “I do” at Notley Thythe Barn.
The ceremony was heartfelt, and the boys joining the first dance later in the evening added a playful, personal touch. Aerial footage captured the sweeping beauty of the venue, and their 10-hour combo package ensured that every moment was preserved—from the delicate first look to the joyous confetti walk.
Adam & Alyson: Intimacy at Stratton Court Barn
Adam and Alyson’s wedding proved that small can be mighty. With just 30 ceremony guests and 60 for the reception, their day was all about family, friends, and genuine connection. Their adorable 3-year-old daughter added a touch of sweetness to the day, while the charm of Stratton Court Barn created the perfect backdrop.
The 8 p.m. cake cutting and first dance capped off a beautiful day, and the multi-camera coverage ensured every angle of their love story was beautifully told.
Becca & James: Timeless Elegance at Rousham Gardens
Becca and James celebrated their love at the stunning Rousham Gardens. Starting with groom prep in Woodstock and bridal prep at her parents’ house, the day was filled with anticipation and thoughtful details—like the bride’s father driving her to the church in an E-Type Jaguar.
The ceremony in the quaint church near the gardens was followed by an elegant vintage-style marquee reception, which truly encapsulated their English garden party vibes.
Katie & Dean: Cinematic Romance at Rackleys
Katie and Dean’s wedding at Rackleys in the Chiltern Hills was cinematic in every sense of the word. From their morning preparations to their romantic first dance, their day was full of heartfelt moments and stunning visuals.
With a mix of aerial drone shots, multi-camera coverage, and a meticulously edited highlight reel, their video captured the essence of their day perfectly. A 3-week turnaround on all their videos meant they could relive their big day almost immediately, and the moments video preserved all the little details they didn’t want to forget.
Amy & Andy: A Festival of Fun at Heath Farm
Amy and Andy brought a festival atmosphere to their wedding, complete with food trucks, live bands, a drag queen, and even a Tina Turner tribute act. Their three children played a key role in the celebration, making it a true family affair.
The energy of their day was infectious, and I loved capturing their surprise dance routine and the glowbot performance later in the evening. The couple’s sense of fun and creativity shone through in every detail.
Chris & Shahini: Modern Romance at Lain’s Barn
Chris and Shahini’s wedding at Lain’s Barn combined classic elegance with modern flair. Starting with morning prep just minutes apart, their day unfolded with seamless joy. The ceremony included touching readings and personal vows, followed by a lively drinks reception and cake cutting.
The evening drinks and first dance were highlights, and their wedding video beautifully wove together moments from the day. The 4-week turnaround ensured they could relive their memories quickly, and the drone footage provided stunning, cinematic views of the venue.
A Few Personal Highlights
Aerial Shots: From the rolling hills of Oxfordshire to the gardens of Rousham, drone footage brought a fresh perspective to this year’s weddings.
Moments Videos: Capturing iconic moments like confetti walks and first dances remains a favorite part of my work, as these are often the memories couples treasure most.

Looking Ahead to 2025
As I gear up for another year of weddings, I’m excited to bring even more creativity and storytelling to the couples I work with. Each wedding is a chance to tell a unique love story, and I can’t wait to see where next year takes me.
To all the couples I worked with in 2024—thank you for trusting me to capture your most important day. It’s been an honour to turn your moments into memories that will last a lifetime.
If you’re planning your wedding in 2025, I’d love to help you tell your story. Let’s make magic together!
