Bride and groom on hay bales reading a book

Today we have pictures from the first of three beautiful styled shoots which took place at Bawdon Lodge Farm to share with you. Photographed by Lumiere Photography, the shoots were planned to showcase the versatility of the farm in preparation for when it launches as a wedding venue later this year. Benessamy Weddings and Events planned and co-ordinated the shoots…

“Bawdon Lodge Farm is a family owned country farm in Nanpantan, Leicestershire, and is due to launch as a country wedding venue later this year, available for weddings in 2014. At Benessamy Weddings and Events we are pleased to be working with Richard and Lynn Bailey to assist them in the management of weddings at Bawdon Lodge Farm.

“Richard and Lynn were keen to work with creative wedding suppliers from the local area, who they would be happy to recommend to their wedding and events clients when the venue opens next year. The idea behind the styled wedding shoot was to showcase the versatility of Bawdon Lodge Farm, both as a country farm wedding venue and as a marquee wedding venue. Hence, we planned and co-ordinated three styled shoots.

“The inspiration for the first shoot was a vintage country wedding…”
