Abbie & Andy - A Blustery Autumn Wedding at The Wellbeing Farm (with bonus llamas!) - Lancashire Wedding Phototographer

Autumn weddings have a certain magical charm, and Abbie and Andy's special day at The Wellbeing Farm was no exception. Surrounded by the picturesque beauty of the Lancashire countryside, their wedding was filled with personal touches and unforgettable moments.

One of the highlights of the day was the heartfelt ceremony led by the talented That Celebrant Guy, Glen. His personalized approach brought tears of joy to the couple and their guests. Glen effortlessly captured the essence of Abbie and Andy's love story, making the ceremony personal, intimate, and utterly lovely. I had the great pleasure of spending the day working alongside Glen while he performed double-duty as celebrant host/emcee and I genuinely hope it’s just the start of our professional relationship!


Although the weather was chilly and grey, it didn't dampen the spirits of the couple or their guests. Embracing the autumn ambience, the bridal party braved the colder temperatures, and I managed to capture stunning images amidst the natural rustic backdrop.

But what truly made this wedding unique was the opportunity for Abbie and Andy to interact with some very special guests - llamas and donkeys! The Wellbeing Farm is renowned for its furry friends, and the couple had the chance to walk these adorable animals. The experience was filled with laughter and joy as Abbie and Andy's smiles lit up the atmosphere. It was a moment that epitomized their fun-loving personalities and made for some truly unforgettable photos.


As photographer, I believe that capturing the genuine emotions and special moments of a couple's big day is my utmost responsibility. Abbie and Andy's autumn wedding allowed me to do just that. Despite the chilly weather, we ventured into the fields surrounding The Wellbeing Farm, the rustic barns acting as the backdrop for some truly breathtaking shots. The grey skies only enhanced the romantic atmosphere, infusing each frame with a unique sense of intimacy and autumnal beauty.


Abbie and Andy's wedding was a true celebration of love and joy, with personal touches and laughter filling every moment. From the heartfelt ceremony led by Glen to the memorable encounters with llamas and donkeys, their day will forever be cherished not only in their memories but also in the stunning photographs that captured the essence of their special day.

I feel privileged to have been part of Abbie and Andy's incredible journey. I wish them a lifetime of happiness and look forward to capturing more magical love stories in the future. Here’s a sneak peek of what we got up to!
