Portraits were taken between trees, water and fields while guests made the most of the late-summer warmth. The barn spaces at Wootton Park handled speeches and dinner effortlessly — the room carried sound and atmosphere brilliantly, making every reaction easy to capture as it unfolded in real time.

Once the evening began, the dancefloor filled quickly and stayed that way. The whole day had an easy, generous feel — no rush, no formality forced — just two people celebrated properly in the countryside. For couples planning a Stratford-upon-Avon barn wedding or looking for a relaxed venue in the Midlands, Wootton Park is a standout setting for naturally-shot wedding photography.
