Ben & hannah
At
Bridal Barn
What a day celebrating the marriage of Ben & Hannah. A sweltering Saturday in May certainly didn't stop this celebration from being in full swing.
There couldn't have been a better venue for the soaring temperatures than Bridal Barn, with its beautiful woodlands, rolling countryside views, and spacious courtyard providing the perfect setting to enjoy the sunshine.
The Aperol Spritz flowed freely after the ceremony, setting the tone for an unforgettable day.
With family and friends travelling from across the UK, Ben and Hannah's wedding was filled with laughter, love, and plenty of memorable moments. It was a day full of joy from beginning to end.
Here's the story of their incredible day.

beautiful barn
tucked away in the shropshire countryside, bridal barn is a must view venue.
The stunning barn and tepee surround a large courtyard, creating a beautiful space that works perfectly in all seasons.
The Bridal Barn offers your choice of caterers, giving you flexibility and endless options.
this place is photographers dream, whether it's the surrounding woodland or rolling hills, bridal barn is for the outdoor lover.
The in-house team, headed up by Ben, are fantastic and offer years of wedding industry experience, giving you peace of mind that your day will run seamlessly.
Bridal prep
Although Bridal Barn offers on-site bridal preparation facilities, Hannah chose to spend the night before her wedding at the stunning Coach House, just a few miles from Bridgnorth. It was the perfect setting for a large bridal party to relax and get ready for the day ahead.
I arrived just in time for a coffee while the lovely Corrine, Emily and Olivia worked their magic in the light-filled (and rather warm!) conservatory.
When it comes to natural light, this place is hard to beat. With French doors opening onto the garden, the bridal party could bask in the late May sunshine between hair and make-up, making the most of the beautiful weather before the celebrations began.

CEREMONY & AFTERNOON
The glorious May weather meant Ben and Hannah's dream outdoor ceremony could go ahead exactly as they had imagined. Set within Bridal Barn's beautiful elevated woodland, guests were treated to panoramic views across the venue and the surrounding countryside.
Bridal Barn really has thought of everything. With the ceremony area situated at the top of a steep incline, a golf buggy is available to help transport guests with limited mobility, ensuring everyone can enjoy the woodland setting with ease.
After the "I do's", as drinks and canapés flowed, I whisked Ben and Hannah away for some couples' portraits. With an abundance of stunning backdrops across the grounds, there are endless photographic opportunities. Stepping away from the celebrations for a short while also gave the newlyweds a chance to relax together, soak it all in, and enjoy a few quiet moments in front of the camera.
The speeches took place before the wedding breakfast, and thanks to the glorious dry weather, they were held out in the courtyard. Filled with heartfelt moments, plenty of laughter, and the odd tear, they set the perfect tone for the rest of the day before guests headed inside to enjoy their meal.
One of the things I love about Bridal Barn is the flexibility it offers. You're free to choose your own catering, allowing you to create a wedding breakfast that's completely personal to you.
Ben and Hannah chose the Sticky Fig Catering, a fantastic local company with an excellent reputation. I had a feeling the food would be incredible after sampling their dishes at On The Rabbit Run coffee shop and it certainly didn't disappoint.
what a day!
All in all, this was an incredible wedding from start to finish.
Ben and the entire Bridal Barn team do a fantastic job. From a supplier's point of view, they look after us just as well as they do their couples and guests, which always makes the experience even more enjoyable.
If you're still searching for your perfect wedding venue, I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Bridal Barn and arranging a visit. It's one of those places that has to be seen in person.
Being trusted to capture memories that will last a lifetime is an honour, and it's something I'll never take for granted.
If you're looking for a relaxed, storytelling photographer who'll blend seamlessly into your day (and never say no to a canapé!), I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch and let's chat about your wedding.
