Bartholomew Barn, Kirdford, West Sussex - A summer wedding

A beautiful summer's day, a lovely couple and a great venue.... 
Bartholomew Barn at Kirdford in West Sussex (near to Petworth) was my venue for this wedding. I attended the wedding with the brief to create informal and relaxed wedding photographs of the day. This rural wedding venue is a converted barn with loads of natural light and friendly and professional staff. On this summers day it really was a joy to be asked to photograph the wedding and we all had a great day.

The bride and groom requested this picture of their reflection in the pond. I felt the image needed some help to bring it alive and so I worked on the image in photoshop and kept the colour in the flowers whilst turning the rest of the photograph black and white.

For a natural wedding photograph I asked the couple to walk along the path leading into the venue.  The groom  glanced over and smiled at his new bride and I quickly took the photograph. Bartholomew Barn, Kirdford in West Sussex. Copyright Scott Ramsey Photography

This photograph was taken in the walled garden at Bartholomew Barn, Kirdford in West Sussex. Using a long lens I create these candid photographs from afar with the subject not even knowing that they are being photographed. Copyright Scott Ramsey Photography

These group of friends asked me to take a photograph of them all, and most importantly they wanted a fun shot so I used the gazebo in the venues garden for the shot. Bartholomew Barn, Kirdford in West Sussex. Copyright Scott Ramsey Photography
