Hobbit and board game wedding at Pangdean Barn: Juliette and Ross

Dec 15, 2022 | Weddings

When Juliette and Ross got in touch, their wedding sounded epic. In fact, I’m just gonna copy and paste what they wrote:

My vision is Sam and Rosie’s wedding from the end of the hobbit but maybe with some extra glitter? I have loved your photos ever since I stumbled across them, I think on instagram – we are talking a good few years. The colourfulness, vibrancy and the way you capture personalities and the spirit of the day is so great. Neither of us love the idea of a couple photoshoot/slinking off for the day and definitely would just mostly want to see what our friends and family are up to, and want to spend most of the day catching up with them.”

The Pangdean Ceremony

The ceremony took place in the barn, with its rustic charm and cosy vibe. Juliette looked absolutely stunning in her boho-inspired wedding dress, complete with flower crown. Ross looked dapper in his checked suit, and the two of them exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their loved ones.

The Outdoor Reception

After the ceremony, the guests made their way outside to the lawn, where they had a fun reception in the sunshine. The couple had arranged for a range of lawn games, including giant Jenga and croquet, which provided plenty of entertainment for their guests.

The Band

Later in the evening, a super-fun band took to the stage (and the dancefloor!) and performed all our fave songs, so we had a boogie too! The band’s energy and enthusiasm really added to the atmosphere, and the couple and their guests were clearly having the time of their lives.

The Portraits

We always try to capture the unique character and style of each couple and their wedding day. For Juliette and Ross, this meant incorporating the natural beauty of the Pangdean barn venue and the couple’s boho and dapper styles into the photoshoot.

What they say

“Enjoy as much as you can, embrace the build up, and have the mantra ‘at the end of the day we will be married’ when things go awry!!

We chose Anna and Todd because we loved their fun, colourful, candid photos and knew they’d make us feel comfortable on a day that is going to be pretty overwhelming. Thank you!”
