Crown Hall wedding photographer
As a Crown Hall wedding photographer, there are some days that just stick in your heart. Jodie and Tony’s celebration was one of those. Picture a sunny afternoon out in the Lincolnshire countryside, a pair of cowboy boots on the doorstep of a cosy farmhouse and the sound of laughter drifting through the air. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this wasn’t going to be a typical wedding. It was going to be an honest, wild, cowboy‑style bash that showed off everything Crown Hall Farm has to offer – and I loved every minute.
Preparations – boots, laughter and a rusty pickup
Jodie and her bridesmaids got ready in a rented cottage out on the countryside – the perfect backdrop for the western vibes they’d planned. Cowboy boots, a Stetson hat and a chilled bottle of champagne set the scene. Music filled the air and people flowed through the rooms, laughing and dancing. I love focusing on the emotions and interactions at this stage, because that’s where the real stories live. It wasn’t just about sitting in a chair and having makeup done; it was about Jodie’s dad cracking jokes and her mum looking with pride on her daughter. Jodie herself is pure dynamite – energetic, funny and full of love. When she floated down the staircase in her dress, everyone waiting below lit up with smiles.
The arrival at the venue was nothing short of epic. They rolled up in a rusty pickup straight out of an American movie and a pristine white Buick Invicta with red leather seats. It was the perfect entrance for a couple who weren’t afraid to do things their own way. As their Crown Hall wedding photographer, scenes like this make my heart sing.
Woodland Weddings
Crown Hall Farm is a picturesque, exclusive‑use venue set by a beautiful lake with a rustic boathouse Jodie and Tony chose to say their vows on the pier overlooking the water. The ceremony was the best kind of heartfelt – relaxed, personal and full of joy. There was no stiffness, just truth and love shared in front of friends and family. The couple ended their vows by releasing a pair of doves over the lake, a simple gesture that fit perfectly with the peaceful surroundings.
It’s this mix of nature and intimacy that makes being a Crown Hall wedding photographer so rewarding. The farm’s panoramic marquee and lakefront setting mean you can tailor your ceremony exactly how you want. As I watched Jodie and Tony promise each other forever, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to capture such a genuine moment.
Reception – games, summer and plenty of laughter
After the ceremony, the party really began. Crown Hall Farm isn’t just beautiful; it’s designed for fun. The farm offers exclusive use and can accommodate between 150 and 180 guests. Jodie and Tony took full advantage. They kicked off married life with a private ride in their vintage car to soak in the day, while guests enjoyed cocktails on the all sort of activities.
When the couple returned, I grabbed them for a quick portrait session with that killer car and the lake shimmering behind them. Tug‑of‑war, rat‑splat and ring toss kept everyone entertained. As the sun set, a mechanical bull appeared and unleashed everyone’s inner cowboy. This Crown Hall wedding photographer was in heaven – there’s nothing better than photographing friends and family laughing, cheering and living in the moment.
Crown Hall wedding photographer – natural moments and a killer sunset
I’m not one for stiff poses or forced smiles. I prefer to let my couples run, talk, joke and be themselves. For Jodie and Tony’s portraits we mixed candid moments with a bit of direction and a whole lot of fun. We chased each other across the field, chatted about their journey together and laughed at Tony’s cowboy hat catching the wind. As the sun dipped low, the sky lit up in orange and pink – the perfect golden hour. These natural portraits, with Crown Hall Farm’s lake and fields as a backdrop, are some of my favourites from the day.
Being a Crown Hall wedding photographer means you always have beautiful scenery to play with. Whether it’s the lakeside boathouse or the marquee’s panoramic windows, every angle offers something special.
Evening & dancefloor – chaos, campfires and cigars
When night fell, the energy cranked up even higher. Drinks flowed, arms flew up and the dancefloor turned into the wild west. At one point Jodie pulled me into the crowd to dance and I gladly obliged – after all, this is a celebration! Yet Crown Hall Farm has a way of offering different moods at once. Away from the chaos, guests roasted s’mores over a firepit, kids played football under the stars and a group of proud gentlemen smoked cigars in the soft glow of fairy lights.
Scenes like these remind me why I love being a Crown Hall wedding photographer. It’s not just about the staged moments; it’s about capturing the small stories happening around the edges and weaving them into the bigger picture.
