Faye + George, 20.06.26
Some weddings take me hundreds of miles from home. This one started literally on my doorstep.
From bridal preparations just across the road, to the church and then the village hall reception, every part of Faye & George’s wedding took place right here in my home village of Old Basing. For once, I left home on foot with my cameras and walked back again at the end of the night and I absolutely loved it!
A few weeks before the wedding, we realised there was one small complication… the wedding day coincided with the village Carnival. Suddenly, navigating between locations without getting caught up in the parade looked like it might be a challenge!
But rather than avoid it, we decided to embrace it.
Faye had challenged me to come up with some interesting locations for their couple photos, and it quickly became obvious that the carnival itself was too good an opportunity to miss. So we headed straight into the middle of it all — vintage cars, coconut shies, fairground stalls and those wonderfully nostalgic seaside peep-through board thingys.
The result? Couple photos that couldn’t have been taken anywhere else, and a set of images that feel completely unique to their day and to the village they, and I, call home.
A little preview from a wedding that proved sometimes the best adventures are right on your doorstep!!
