South Farm Wedding Photographer | Ali & Marius

Traditions are made to be broken or bent in some ways to make your day your own. Ali and Marius certainly made their day their own with their South Farm Wedding and Outdoor Wedding Ceremony. In the UK the tradition is that the Bride and Groom do not see each other before the ceremony. Ali couldn’t wait to see her man and went looking for him during the morning preparations. She found him and with one big swoosh, he swept her off her feet.

Other times during the morning they kept meeting. These two could not be apart. I have no doubt that these two are meant to be together. Just before saying ‘I do’ we arranged a First Look. Marius waited nervously to see Ali appear in her wedding dress.

Family and friends arrived from literally all over the world, Australia and Romania. The language barrier just melted away and the two families joined as one with the celebrations after the outdoor ceremony in the Summerhouse overlooking the garden pond.

With the sun beating down, the whole day was beautiful and the party carried on outside in the courtyard with the band playing an acoustic set and guests mingling and dancing.

Congratulations guys on beautiful South Farm wedding. Wishing you many years of Love and Happiness together x

In their own words

Where did you first meet?

Hackney, London

Who popped the question and how?

Marius – personally at home

Wedding planning, the good, bad and fabulous

Exploring options, choosing suppliers, choosing suits, dresses and colours. Not so good being all the costs along the way!

How was day through your eyes?

Absolutely perfect

What was your favourite part of the day

Everything from the ceremony onwards

Any tips you learnt along the way which may be useful for other brides or what would you change?

Try not to worry in the morning of the wedding, having a later ceremony was great as we were less rushed. Pre-wedding night – try to get good sleep but don’t stress if you haven’t as the adrenaline WILL get you through ( you won’t even remember you haven’t slept). Trust your suppliers!

Who were your suppliers? Florist/Flowers, Dress (Shop & Designer), Hair, Make-up, Suit, Car/Transport, Wedding Cake, DJ/Entertainment, Venue Stylist

Jane Maples – Florist, Dress in Love – Bridal boutique (Donna Lee dress), Francesca Fonzarelli – stylist, Olivers Bridal – Suit hire, Three Little Cats Bakery – Cake, Wandering Wings – Band
