Bellows Mill Leighton Buzzard
The couple were the fantastic Faye and Jack! Bellows Mill is an idyllic old watermill nestling beneath the Chiltern Hills with the lake providing a picturesque setting for weddings. You’re provided exclusive use of the premises for the weekend, it is the perfect venue for those wanting a formal or informal country wedding. Bellows Mill Weddings are highly recommended.
I recall the first time we had a chat about their wedding day, in Tring. It was so relaxed over a drink and the wedding vibes were flowing with great questions and so many inspirational ideas, I knew it would be a gorgeous day.
Just a small selection from a wedding photographer in Leighton Buzzard.
How they met
Jack and I actually went to school together. He was in the year above and our brothers were close friends. It wasn’t really until Jack had gone to university that we got to know one another. He returned for the Summer between his second and third year and we met in our local pub in Berkhamsted – at the time people assumed it was just a summer fling but we have now been together over 10 years.
The Proposal
It was like being the star of a movie! We flew to New York for my birthday and so many things that happened prior to the proposal I thought were just significant because it was my birthday.
On the morning of my birthday, at a dinner in NYC, Jack gave me a birthday card and inside it read “Faye’s Central Park Scavenger Hunt!” He explained that he would be giving me clues at each point of interest that would lead me to the next point. And when I got the clue right I won scrabble tiles. By the time we had reached our final point (the famous Cherry Tree fields) I had dozens of scrabble tiles each with a stickered number written on the back.
We sit down for a picnic and outcomes champagne and the food we had recently bought for the picnic I knew we were having… and a scrabble board… and the scrabble board has stickered numbers on certain tiles on the board… you guessed it, I had to match the tiles to the board…
First, Faye and Jack… then, New York City…3rd June 2016 and then I twigged the few spaces that remained free on the board…. WILL…YOU…MARRY…ME?
Why did you choose your photographer?
At first, our photographer was chosen purely on recommendation but once we met with Gary Nunn we knew he was the guy for the job. We keenly expressed our need to candid shots and a much laid back style to match the relaxed day we had planned and that’s exactly what he captured. I look at the photographs (in some capacity) every day – he captured the true feel of the day. Bellows Mill as a great wedding location for photos!
