Katie & Shaun’s Christmas wedding – Mythe Barn Wedding Photographer
Mythe Barn wedding photographer
If you’re looking for a Mythe Barn wedding photographer in Leicestershire you’ll love this Christmas wedding for loads of inspiration and ideas.
Mythe Barn is an idyllic, award-winning wedding venue set amidst acres of Leicestershire countryside.Set in 150 acres of farmland on the borders of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and Leicestershire, Mythe Barn looks out over rolling hills and meadows to the River Sence. With sheep grazing as you drive from the road into the farm, this is a rural, fairy-tale setting and one of the finest wedding venues in Leicestershire.
The wedding
The weather on December 23rd, just two days before Christmas was pretty dire. It had forecast rain for most of the day until the darkness would set in so I knew the day would mostly be indoors. I arrived at the venue to the bridal party putting the finishing touches to the ceremony room and everywhere was looking festive. I always arrive 3 hours or so before the ceremony so I get to capture all the details and natural candid shots of the bridal party and Groom party when they arrived a little later.
The bridal suite at Mythe Barn is amazing! 3 huge mirrors which enable me to capture the dress and also reveal reactions from Bridesmaids, Mum and Dad – one of the best moments of the day for me! A beautiful ceremony followed at 2pm and it was agreed that we would do the confetti on the aisle way as Katie & Shaun made their exit. During the drinks reception the skies dried up and we had a clear spell of about 30 mins to get outside for some relaxed and fun portraits! Just as we finished the rain started again and it was like it was meant to be. Thankfully the indoor space at Mythe is very light and we captured the family photos in front of the Christmas tree.
The evening
Following the wedding breakfast and amazing speeches (not sure that best man speech will be topped for reactions) it was the time of year where I could experiment and get some extra portraits outside in the dark. We found a little corner in the courtyard with light bulbs over hanging and it made for some cosy portraits – Katie even donned her leather jacket for extra warmth. I love me a silhouette & the outside of myth barn looked amazing under the starry night! Check out the result towards the bottom of this page.
It was now getting towards the end of the night and the cake cut (and sampling) was followed by a first dance and an energetic dance floor. My last shot of the night and for the whole of 2022 was an outside frame of Mythe under the stars with the party in full flow. I packed up and drove home for Christmas… what a wedding to close the year.
