Folly Farm Wedding Photography – Melanie & Lucille

Melanie and Lucille’s Folly Farm wedding was the perfect example of how beautiful wedding days can be, no matter what the weather brings. As a Folly Farm wedding photographer, I always love the mix of rustic charm and countryside views this incredible eco-friendly venue offers, and this day was no exception.

A Rainy Start with an Indoor Ceremony

The day began with a relaxed and intimate bridal prep. Melanie and Lucille kept things simple, with just a few photos during the morning as they got ready at the venue. Despite the heavy rain, the atmosphere was full of excitement. Folly Farm’s beautiful barn space meant that the ceremony could be seamlessly moved indoors, surrounded by fairy lights and the rustic timber beams that make this venue so special.

Natural, Relaxed Wedding Photography at Folly Farm

My style is always relaxed, unobtrusive, and focused on natural moments. From the indoor ceremony to the emotional speeches and lively dance floor, I captured the genuine laughter and joy of the day without awkward posing or forced smiles. Folly Farm is ideal for this storytelling approach, offering gorgeous indoor backdrops even when the weather is unpredictable.

The Sun Came Out for Stunning Outdoor Photos

After the first dance, the sun finally made an appearance, giving us the chance to head outside for some beautiful couple portraits against the rolling hills of the Chew Valley. Those moments just after the rain, when everything feels calm and fresh, often make for the most stunning photos. Melanie and Lucille were able to enjoy golden hour with their guests before heading back inside to continue the celebrations.
