Real wedding at The Out Barn - Charlotte & Dom

Bridal prep set the tone for Charlotte and Dom’s wedding – lively and hilarious. From the first brew to the final lipstick check there was a proper buzz, with music on, stories flying and Charlotte laughing her way through it all. 

The ceremony was beautiful: warm, joyful and light-hearted—helped by a special guest appearance from Dave the cockerel, who timed his cameo perfectly and had the whole room grinning. Vows were heartfelt, smiles were constant, and the space looked beautiful with soft light pouring through the big windows at The Out Barn.

Afterwards we stepped outside for confetti and a short wander. No posing marathons—just a relaxed loop to get some shots of just the two of them. The Out Barn makes portraits easy: open views one minute, a tucked-away corner the next, so five to ten minutes is plenty. Charlotte and Dom were effortless in front of the camera and absolutely rocked their portrait session.

Dave wasn’t the only surprise guest on the day – singing waiters tipped the day straight into party mode – napkins in the air, tables drumming, everyone on their feet. We worked the room for those unrehearsed reactions you can’t plan: wide eyes, tears of laughter, arms around shoulders.

As the sun dipped we nipped out for a quick golden-hour loop—soft, flattering light just beyond the terrace – then back in for a packed dance floor and the kind of chaos that makes a night go off!

The Out Barn FAQs

Do you pose people?
The only real posing we do are for your portraits and the group photos.  Even then it’s minimal – we won’t have you stood like a mannequin – promise!

How long do you stay?
Full day coverage typically runs from prep to first dance (or around 8-10 songs after, more if the dance floor is crazy).

What about rain?
We always have a plan B. As we shoot primarily in the North West of England, we’re adept at rainy weddings (although it would be lovely not to have to be!) The Out Barn has more than enough places to shoot if it is raining so we can still get amazing shots of you both.

Do you do both photos and film?
Absolutely. We offer different options for film coverage along side photography. Just give us a shout if you want to know more.
