Oxford Botanic Gardens Wedding | Jo & Kyle

Words can’t quite describe how much I enjoyed this Oxford Botanic Gardens wedding in early September. And how much I loved getting to know these two wonderful humans, Jo and Kyle.

I may be old before my time, but I genuinely love pretty gardens! You’ll find me wandering around a National Trust Walled garden any day. We even got to visit the glasshouse to take photos among the tropical plants too.

Just before speeches, the sun came out and we had a few minutes in the golden rays. I promised we’d only be away from the party for five shots, and in that time we nailed some of my favourite sunset shots to date.

Jo and Kyle your wedding was joyful and beautiful, through and through. Ever since our first few emails it was so clear that we love such similar things and so it was so much fun being part of your wedding day.

Top tip for wedding planning

Leave ample time between the ceremony and the meal. We had a lovely long drinks reception after the ceremony at St Ebbes and the arrival at Oxford Botanic Gardens. It meant that there was ample time for drinks, mingling, group photos and couple portraits. If things are running late, then this is the part of the day which usually gets cut short because caterers have a fixed time to serve food. So I’d suggest allowing a little more time in your schedule at this point in the day.

Oxford Botanic Gardens was such a beautiful place to have a wedding. I would 100% recommend! As a wedding photographer, based in the neighbouring county of Berkshire, it’s super close and it would be awesome to visit again!

I specialise in natural, documentary wedding photography. That means lots of candid photos of your friends and family, a few portrait photos of you as a couple, and a bunch of documentary photos of the day as it unfolds.

If you’re planning your big day, micro-wedding or elopement, please do feel welcome to get in touch to explore if I’m the right photographer for you.
