What Bex and Dan had to say about their Crockwell Farm wedding photography:
“she was so much fun and made us feel so relaxed.”
Crockwell Farm Wedding Photography
Crockwell Farm is a beautiful idyllic rural wedding venue in the heart of Northamptonshire. Bex and Dan got married in its rustic setting and I was lucky enough to be there to capture it all. As a real working farm with acres of delightful farmland to explore, it really is the perfect setting for a wedding. I do love a farm wedding. Some of my favourite features at Crockwell Farm include:
- beautiful weeping willow tree
- a lovely pergola for outdoor ceremonies
- A long grass meadow leading out from the wedding ceremony area
- A rustic greenhouse
- A secret dance floor to surprise guests with your first dance
- A rustic wild flower garden
- Some beautiful doors for bride and groom portraits
A beautiful wedding
It was such a gorgeous wedding. I have been looking forward to blogging it, especially since it has already had a magazine feature and a wedding blog feature! It seems everyone wants to publish this beautiful wedding. It was such a delight to photograph! So it is about time I got it up on my own blog too! and showcase my own Crockwell Farm wedding photography.
Bex and Dan’s Favourite Five at Crockwell Farm
I asked Bex and Dan to pick their favourite five photos from their wedding photography and give me the reasons why. It’s always interesting to see why certain pictures are chosen. Here are their top five.
ONE:
Bex and Dan said:
Bex getting in her dress – because it reminds her about the fun she had with her bridesmaids in the morning. This photo shows the relief that the dress actually fitted – which makes her laugh a lot.
TWO:
Bex and Dan said:
Dan and his groomsman – just sums up their silliness and how good they were at keeping Dan relaxed all day.
THREE:
Bex and Dan said:
Confetti – just a great photo surrounded by amazing family and friends quite literally showering us with confetti.
FOUR:
Bex and Dan said:
Bex’s parents laughing – it was important for us that all our friends and family had a great day and could laugh with us. This photo sums this up.
FIVE:
Bex and Dan said:
Groomsman/Bridesmaids – again, an amazing photo! It was nice to have a few moments with our closest friends, being silly (following a few drinks!)
What was the best decision you made about your wedding day? (advice to future couples)
We think our best decision was to choose a venue which let us stay there for the whole weekend. It means that our families could stay with us and we could spend time with them and friends the day before and made the whole experience relaxing.
Is there anything you would do differently? (advice to future couples)
We wouldn’t do anything different. We loved every minute. Dan would get an earlier night though (that’s his recommendation!). A piece of advice Bex really appreciated in the run up to the wedding was that no one will notice if tiny details aren’t perfect. It’s easy to obsess over these ahead of the big day but when it all comes down to it you really won’t notice that one ribbon was slightly the wrong colour or a jam jar doesn’t have any lace on it 🙂
Can you remember how you found out about Kathryn Edwards Photography?
It was a recommendation from Dan’s sister Sarah who plays in a String Quartet and comes across a lot of photographers. We were lucky to get you because when we first contacted you the date was taken, it was a lucky chance that the couple who already booked you had moved their date.
You have thought of everything! From the engagement shoot and helping us to relax, to the style of photos on the day. And you’re a lovely fun person to have around!

My Crockwell Farm Wedding Photography
So many beautiful wedding photos to choose from. It was really difficult to narrow this down to tell the story of Bex and Dan’s day. But here is some of my Crockwell Farm wedding photography favourites. I loved Bex’s dress. It had a real bohemian feel with its leaf detail, which was just lovely. The flower crown by Me and My Bloomers. In fact all the flowers were amazing. There was a wild flower feel to the whole wedding and I loved these rustic touches. Bex’s bouquet was so beautiful. The flower arch on the outside pergoda where the wedding ceremony took place was stunning. In fact the flowers were just fantastic throughout.
The fabulous Highly Strung String Quartet played in the ceremony and just after. They are amazing, and actually how Bex and Dan booked me, as they have played at a couple of other weddings I had photographed at previously and are absolutely amazing. To photograph the wedding of the brother of one of the quartet was a real honour. I do love a Farm wedding!
There were a lot of other creative and talented suppliers involved to make this wedding so special. And Bex and Dan deserved all of it. They are such a lovely couple and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of their day. Here are some of the other people involved in the special day…
