My top 5 reasons I absolutely love photographing weddings at Wakefield Estate 🤍

1. It feels like a full wedding weekend, not just a day.
   You’re tucked away in nature with your favourite people — slow mornings, late-night hangs, and space to actually be present together.
2. Nature does half the storytelling for us.
   Forest paths, open fields, riverside views, golden hour that just hits differently… every direction feels cinematic without trying too hard.
3. Everything happens in one beautiful place.
   No rushing between locations → more time for connection, candid moments, and those in-between memories that end up meaning the most.
4. It perfectly balances elegant + relaxed.
   You can dress it up or keep it effortlessly cozy, and somehow it always feels intentional, intimate, and deeply personal.
5. The nostalgia factor is unreal.
   Camp energy, summer air, laughter carrying into the night — the kind of wedding that already feels like a memory while it’s happening.

If your dream wedding feels more like gathering your people for an experience than hosting a formal event… this venue gets it. ✨

(And selfishly… it’s one of my favourite places to tell a love story.)

Cheers to all my country loving couples that want the vibes of open roads and summer nights. Congrats Danielle and Bryan 💕 it was a dream to be your videographer at one of the most beautiful properties @wakefield_estate
