Mark & Hayley’s wedding at Smeetham Hall Barn, Essex

Mark & Hayley’s wedding felt like a long time coming, but it was so worth the wait. I first met Mark & Hayley a couple of years ago at another wedding I covered, so I was super happy to be able to cover their day too.

Hayley started her day at the Black Lion Hotel in Long Melford only a few miles away from Smeetham Hall Barn. It was like hanging out with old friends, such a great atmosphere, and just the perfect way to start the day. Before we left for the ceremony Hayley really wanted to see her Grandad, someone massively important to her, and it was a lovely touch. Everything else was back at Smeetham Hall Barn, a venue I know very well.

I do remember Mark not been super keen on being in front of the camera, and let’s be fair it’s not everyday someones pointing a camera at you, but I reckon he did rather well.

Mark & Hayley’s wedding was just the perfect autumn wedding, and I hope this reflects in the images below.
