Plough Inn Leigh Wedding Venue | Kerry & David’s Magical Day
The Plough Inn Leigh Wedding Venue holds a special place in my heart, and I’ve had the pleasure of photographing many weddings here over the years. As a recommended supplier at this stunning Plough Inn Leigh Wedding Venue, I’ve seen countless couples celebrate their love in the 17th-century barn, which has a unique charm that’s perfect for all seasons. Whether it’s a warm summer’s day, with sunlight streaming through the barn’s windows, or a cosy winter evening by the crackling wood fires, this Plough Inn Leigh Wedding Venue offers an unforgettable setting for a wedding.
Meeting Kerry and David
One couple I had the honour of working with at this wonderful venue was Kerry and David. Our journey together began when they reached out to me to meet at a local café for coffee and a chat. They had some concerns and wanted to discuss their wedding photography plans, so we sat down to talk about everything, from their vision for the day to the moments that meant the most to them. I always encourage couples to meet with their photographer before making a decision—it’s not just about viewing a portfolio, but about feeling comfortable with the person capturing such a personal and emotional day.
It’s important to see if the photographer is the right fit for you, your partner, and your family.
Perfect September Weather at The Plough Inn Leigh
Their wedding day arrived in September, with the kind of weather that many couples dream of for their big day. It was bright, clear, and sunny—a photographer’s dream, especially at the Plough Inn Leigh Wedding Venue. Bright sunlight can be challenging, but it also makes for vivid, beautiful photos with that sought-after ‘pop.’ We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect blue sky to complement the gorgeous surroundings of the venue.
Elegant Bridesmaid Dresses and Fun Moments
One of the highlights of Kerry and David’s day was the bridesmaids’ dresses. The one-strap design was elegant and stylish, adding a modern twist to the classic bridal look. During his speech, David got everyone involved in a fun card game, where the winning cards were the King and Queen of Hearts. It was a lovely touch, and I’ll never forget the look on the face of the one guest who ended up holding exactly those winning cards—it was such a fun moment that really got everyone in the spirit of the celebration.
Plough Inn Leigh Wedding Venue’s Stunning Afternoon Wedding Portraits
The late afternoon wedding portraits were nothing short of magical. The golden sunlight of the September evening provided the perfect backdrop for these intimate moments. The willow tree at the venue served as a stunning frame, and one of the first portraits I captured on the day is still one of my absolute favourites. There’s something about the soft light and natural surroundings that make those photos feel timeless.
A Romantic First Dance and Lively Reception
Another unforgettable moment came during Kerry and David’s first dance. David, being the romantic he is, bowed to Kerry before they danced together, setting a heartfelt tone for the evening. As the couple swirled across the dance floor, the guests joined in, with the party atmosphere taking full swing. It was a joy to witness such an electric, joyous celebration of love, and the energy on the dance floor was contagious. After an hour or so of documenting the festivities, I began to pack up, my heart full from the day’s memories.
The Final Handover: A Bittersweet Moment
Although I was feeling a little wired from running around capturing all the beautiful moments, I always look forward to the final part of the process—the handover of the wedding photos and albums to the couple. It’s always bittersweet for me, as it’s the end of a journey that began a year or two earlier when I first met the couple. From that initial meeting, the countless conversations, and the excitement leading up to the big day, it’s emotional to see it all come together. Weddings are such monumental moments in a couple’s life, and being a part of that is something I’ll never take for granted.
