Carly and Nick at Notley Tythe Barn, Long Crendon

In the heart of Buckinghamshire lies a tiny little village called Long Crendon. Nestled in the rolling hills is the picturesque Notley Tythe Barn, my wedding photography destination for Carly and Nick's wedding. Having grown-up in Bucks you'd think I would have had an inkling as to where on earth this village was, alas it is such a hidden gem that I did resort to TomTom to direct me through the winding lanes of deepest rural England to photograph their Buckinghamshire wedding.
To set the scene: an ecstatic Carly who woke up to the sound of dad starting the rustic engine of Carly's wedding surprise - her wedding carriage - a resplendent baby-blue VW Camper Van. A seriously talented mum who made not one but three impressive wedding cakes.

I'm such a sucker for the sunset portrait, I cannot resist...
