An Elegant Garden Wedding With Valeria and Pavel
Getting Ready: A First Look & Editorial Portraits
We started with a relaxed morning of preparations at their city hotel, with elegant bridal portraits of Valeria and stylish groom portraits of Pavel looking sharp in his navy tuxedo.
A quiet first look followed, with natural, editorial portraits before heading to the venue.
The Garden Wedding Ceremony
Guests gathered on the lawn for a relaxed outdoor ceremony. Valeria walked towards an emotional Pavel, wearing a timeless strapless gown with soft layers of tulle and a flowing train.
Afterwards, we captured natural couple portraits in the gardens, we had the soft sunlight filtering through the trees, to really create some beautiful moments.
The Grand Marquee and Fireworks Finale
The celebration continued in the grand marquee, where a live band filled the dancefloor, grandparents included!
The evening ended with a sparkler tunnel and a fireworks display lighting up the river.
Valeria and Pavel’s garden wedding was a beautiful mix of relaxed, natural moments and elegant editorial wedding photography. From starting the day with the morning prep at their city hotel to their outdoor garden wedding ceremony and marquee reception, the day was full of atmosphere, emotion and those timeless details.
As a Cornwall wedding photographer also covering Devon, London and across the UK, I focus on capturing weddings in a natural, unobtrusive way while creating refined, editorial images that feel effortless and authentic, like the ones you’ve seen.
