Weddings at Barford Park Barn are always full of charm, and as a recommended supplier at this Salisbury wedding venue, I was thrilled to capture Lauren and Ben’s big day. Their love story unfolded across two beautiful locations — starting with a heartfelt ceremony at St Lawrence Church in Downton and ending with a rustic countryside celebration at Barford Park Barn in Salisbury. From tractors to horses, hunting horns to a confetti tunnel like no other, their day was a joy to capture from beginning to end.
A Beautiful Ceremony at St Lawrence Church, Downton
The morning was filled with excitement as guests gathered at the picturesque St Lawrence Church, a historic and welcoming setting for Lauren and Ben to exchange their vows. If you’re planning a church wedding, my Wedding Photography Packages are tailored to fit everything from intimate ceremonies to full-day celebrations. Ben started the morning by arriving in true countryside style — driving up on a tractor. Moments later, Lauren made her unforgettable entrance, riding her horse alongside her dad. It was a moment that had everyone smiling and perfectly reflected the couple’s love for the countryside and their roots.
Inside the church, the ceremony was filled with warmth, laughter, and emotion. The old stone walls echoed with heartfelt vows and hymns, creating a truly timeless backdrop for the beginning of their marriage.

A Unique Confetti Exit with Hunting Horns and a Horse Whip Tunnel
Once Lauren and Ben stepped out of the church doors as husband and wife, the celebrations began in full force. Hunting Horns were blown as the couple made exit of the church then came one of the most unique confetti moments I’ve ever photographed: a tunnel formed by horse whips held by friends and family. The newlyweds walked through the tunnel hand in hand, with colourful confetti flying all around them. It was amazing to see a mix of tradition, fun, and pure joy, and it made for some truly unforgettable photographs.
