Zoella and Luke chose the charming Ardington House in Oxfordshire for their July wedding, and it couldn’t have been more perfect for their big day. It was a lovely, sunny day with a light breeze that made the historic Georgian architecture and beautiful green gardens even more inviting.

As Jade and I walked in, the place was buzzing with the excitement of the day. Everyone was getting ready, laughing and chatting away, and Zoella looked absolutely stunning in her Miss Stella York gown. Luke looked sharp in his wool suit, and together they were the perfect pair. They were after photos that captured genuine, spontaneous moments—exactly my cup of tea with a documentary style. Thanks to a pre-wedding photoshoot, they were totally relaxed in front of the camera.

Their ceremony, set under leafy trees by a stream, was picturesque. Zoella’s walk across the bridge with her father was a memorable moment, leading up to a ceremony filled with joy and a touch of humour thanks to a curious bee that fancied Luke during their vows! The soft pinks and sage greens of their decor blended wonderfully with the lush surroundings, adding to the day’s romance.

What really made their wedding stand out was the warm, joyful atmosphere they created, making everyone feel part of the celebration. It was a day full of fun, romance, and memorable moments.

Below are some of my favourite shots from Zoella and Luke’s special day. If you like my style and approach, I’d love to chat about how I can help capture the essence of your wedding day too. Looking forward to hearing from you!
