Bassmead Manor Barns Wedding Photographer: Sky Photography

The Venue:

We loved shooting this Bassmead Manor Barns Wedding, it had it all!

This was our first visit to Bassmead Manor Barns and we were really looking forward to it as we had heard so much. We weren’t disappointed. What surprised me about Bassmead Manor was the size of the venue. There is so much of it! So many buildings, rooms and little facets to explore. The surrounding working farm fields too are so beautiful too, really great for wedding photography. It makes it tough as you want to use and capture it all. The woods, the orchard, the fields, the moat, the gardens and so on… Jenny and the other Bassmead staff were very relaxed and friendly, the jewel however has to be the charming rickety barn, used for the ceremony. When you think of a barn wedding this the ceremony room you have pictured in your head. (well at least mine) Old crooked wooden beams from a time when ‘on the wonk’ seemed perfectly acceptable. Bassmead Barns really is a stunning venue and it’s up there with the best wedding venues we have visited.

The Couple

We met Kieron and Kayleigh back on a cold February evening in 2017. They were looking for relaxed no fuss wedding photography and loved the idea of having 2 wedding photographers capture their special day. It really was a great match for us.

Kayleigh and Kieron cut quite striking look, I mean just take a look at them, stunnning.

Kayleigh decided to get ready at Bassmead in the bridal boutique, whilst Kieron arrived suited and booted in his RAF finery. It was a relaxed preparation and whilst Karla captured Kayleigh getting ready I was there to capture Kieron checking things over and greeting his guests with his groomsmen close by. I love the little fact that Kieron opened his gift from Kayleigh underneath the open bridal prep window, so Kayleigh could hear the commotion below. I’m sure that was deliberate, right Kieron?! lol

Karla was obsessed with Kayleigh’s shoes. “They’re Jimmy Choo’s…” [Insert blank face from me]. Ok so they were pretty, I have to admit.

It was lovely to see the Ashmore bros (band) as we have worked on many weddings together. Such lovely guys and they really are good at getting the party going!

Kayleigh and Kieron were such a joy to photograph, we really enjoyed our little walks with them through the grounds taking photos as we went; we had a lot of fun, Snakes Karla?. By the end of the night it felt sad to say goodbye to them and their guests. As by the time we had to go we had chatted to so many wonderful and friendly people. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek Kayleigh and Kieron xx
