COFFEE – CHAOS – KILLER TUNES at a Wedding Venues in the West Midlands.
As soon as I arrived at Willow Marsh Farm, I could see that this wedding was shaping up nicely to be an epic day! Joe and his mates were enjoying cocktails and croissants for breakfast whilst at the same time over in the other barn, Charlotte was with her bride squad prepping for the wedding of her dreams!
Charlotte showed off her wedding stationery, made by the talented Junie Poonie, and I saw that she had the most sensationally red Christian Louboutin shoes! These were going to be making a statement pop of colour in this monochromatic wedding!
With the champagne flowing this was a very chilled prep morning – getting our girl Charlotte ready for her day! When Charlotte was dressed to perfection in her Watters Boho Wedding Dress, from the sensational Bridal Indulgence, Pops of the Bride came in, emotions were high and tears were rolling – he couldn’t have been prouder!
YES, I’LL MARRY YOU.
Junie Poonie providing yet more incredible creations for the ceremony styling! With the colour palette set and discos balls ready, the ceremony was styled to perfection with a minimalist, wild scene. Benches were laid out with faux fur rugs and disco ball flower pots by the benches.
This west midlands wedding venue can hold legal or celebrant lead weddings. Today it was celebrant led by Lauren Oldfield, who was able to tell Charlotte and Joes story to the fullest. This mean it was really regaling the guests with the raw and real ‘meet-cute’ between this epic pair! After a hilariously meaningful poem, Charlotte and Joe made their love filled promises and exchanged their rings. This meant we could now crack on with the fun part of the day!
CONFETTI & SUNGLASSES – A WEDDING AT WILLOW MARSH FARM.
A shower of pink confetti thrown by guests, whilst strutting like rockstars with their sass and sunglasses, really made this part of the day pop as a bright moment (with a splash of pink amongst all this monochromatic styling – did we really think a Mark Horton wedding wouldn’t involve some amazing colour?!).
Schmoozing and boozing soon commenced as friends and family rushed to congratulate Joe and Charlotte. The party moved into the main bar for some smashing canapes and drinks.
The beers were flowing outside and as a result I snagged some shots of the wedding breakfast setup. Seeing the glasses sparkling in the sun from the skylight was a total vibe, the crystal cut of the glasses really stood out within the monochrome-ness of its surroundings. Shoutout to Junie Poonie for the stationery that was pure monochrome magic. It perfectly played off with the lush greens of the flowers and the dark, moody stone of the venue. This awe-inspiring couple, with the help of Junie Poonie, have curated and styled the incredible Willow Marsh Farm to perfection! The stationery, table decorations and signage fit the minimalist wedding vibe flawlessly!
Grabbing the fam and friends for group shots in front the fireplace meant that everyone was in superb lighting (thanks to the epically placed skylight). It also meant they were still being very much involved in the party!
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART IS, I WASN’T EVEN LOOKING WHEN I FOUND YOU.
Dancing into the wedding breakfast with Madness playing and their hands in the air. This is exactly how Joe and Charlotte will enter every aspect of their lives and as a result meant that their guests really got hyped up to the max. They were so ready for love, laughter and loose lips in the speeches!
With words from the Joe’s Dad, Joe and Joe’s crew, the guests were treated hilarious anecdotes, heartfelt sentimental memories and toasts galore!
After a ravishing feast provided by the culinary experts at Willow Marsh Farm, the guests of Charlotte and Joe were able to get this party well and truly started. It was time to Loosen the ties and hit the bar!
GOLDEN HOUR GOODNESS FOR A BADASS COUPLE AT THIS ROCKSTAR WEDDING VENUE IN THE WEST MIDLANDS.
As the sun dipped over this west midlands wedding venue, I was able to drag Charlotte and Joe out to catch the last of that golden sunset. We took full advantage of the glorious landscape this incredible boho wedding venue had on offer. We really felt like we were in another country entirely (think Spanish goodness as Charlotte was running her hands through the long grass!).
Charlotte and Joe shot off a confetti cannon filled with red and white confetti. In addition this made for yet another splash of bright colour in their monochromatic wedding!
We took to the long grass, with Joe being the ultimate gent and carrying his new wife’s red shoes! Joe and Charlotte were so natural together, filled with joy and love on their day that it was easy getting these epic wedding portraits! This is exactly how it needs to be to get those wedding photos just right. Just being with the one you love rocking your way through life!
I’M HOOKED ON A FEELING.
The guests found themselves back out in the sunshine, filled with good food and crackin’ cocktails. The party was fully happening as we made our way back to Willow Marsh Farm. With this in mind Charlotte had a couple of sips of Aperol Spritz and was ready for dance floor. Joe and Charlotte had managed to surprise their guests with a well-rehearsed choreographed first dance. This made this rockstar wedding couple even more sensational!
Charlotte, Joe and their guests then REALLY let go! Getting the party in full swing, with drinks in hand and party in their hearts. RocknSoulers taking over then turned the dance floor into a wild, sweaty, jumping mess. Obviously I could have easily spent the evening rockin’ the night away with this awesome couple and their crew!
Testimonial:
“Mark – you have totally outdone yourself! Our photos are everything and more, you captured the day exactly the way we wanted! We told you we weren’t always comfortable in front of the camera, and I can honestly say we have never felt more comfortable! We didn’t even know you were there!
So much fun was had, the best guys to hang out with on our fab day!
I would recommend to everyone!”
