Awesome Golden Hour at Mount Ephraim Gardens

Honestly, he felt way more like a friend than a supplier, which is a credit to how he approaches his work and the way he interacts with his clients.

“I don’t even know where to start with James, but I thank my lucky stars that we found him to photograph our day. Not only are the photos he delivered beyond what we could have imagined, but it was an absolute delight to have him join us on our wedding day.

All our guests have commented on how lovely James was, and also how nonintrusive he was, always around but never interfering with the flow of the day. We chose James because his portfolio has such a raw, fun, authentic quality, and now I can understand why. Instead of artificially staging moments to capture, James gave us the prompting and space to actually create them. For example, the photos we have with our bridesmaids and groomsmen, I will remember forever.

We are so grateful to James for not only capturing our day so beautifully, but adding to it in so many ways with his presence. We cannot recommend him highly enough.”

Helena and Elliot’s wedding at Mount Ephraim Gardens was an international celebration with guests from all over the world. The day started with the couple and their close friends and family getting ready in the historic house at Mount Ephraim. From there, I joined them on a mini-bus ride to the magnificent Rochester Cathedral for their ceremony, a beautiful and grand setting for their vows.

After the ceremony, everyone returned to Mount Ephraim for a lively reception. The gardens provided the perfect backdrop for outdoor games and a drinks reception. Though it rained during the speeches, the weather cleared up, blessing us with a stunning golden hour. A standout moment was playing “Happiness” by The 1975 on my speaker during the bridal party portraits, which turned into an impromptu dance floor. Helena also dazzled everyone with an outfit change into a classic sparkly short dress. For more information about this beautiful venue, visit Mount Ephraim Weddings.
