A summer wedding at the Fig House, Middleton Lodge - Jade and Doug

The Fig House and walled garden at Middleton Lodge is a photographer’s dream. Every time we come here, I am blown away by how beautiful this place is. The converted barn is a rustic haven and the gardens are a botanical paradise worthy of award-winning status. Together, they make the most beautiful backdrop for wedding photographs.

Arriving at Jade and Doug’s home on the morning of their July wedding, I could see exactly why they chose the Fig House for their wedding day. To say Jade is a keen gardener is an understatement, she has a true skill in cultivating and caring for plants. Their garden was filled with colour, and a large section had been fully dedicated to growing flowers that would decorate their aisle and wedding breakfast tables - and in situ, they could not have looked more perfect. From start to finish, their day was a dream to photograph. Even the quick downpour during their outdoor ceremony and a swift relocation indoors didn’t alter the mood of the day one bit.

Here is their day in our eyes.

If you're planning your wedding at The Fig House, and are looking for a wedding photographer, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

The Fig House at Middleton Lodge - Barbara and David

Not only did we have the pleasure of photographing the first event held in Middleton Lodge’s brand new venue, the Fig House, but also the extreme honour of photographing Barbara and David’s vow renewal.

11 years ago, we met Gayle and Edd, a charming young couple, newly engaged and planning their wedding at Headlam Hall. In the lead up to their wedding in 2010, we met a number of times. By the time the day came around, we were firm friends. The day was simply amazing, the sun shone, and happiness radiated, the love shared between them and their families evident for everyone to see. That was the day that we met Barbara and David, Gayle’s wonderful parents.

Married for 43 happy years, Barbara had never once removed her wedding ring, until a necessary operation on her left hand changed that. Something that had held so much meaning and sentimentality for so long, she and David both came to the decision that the right thing to do was to put it back on her finger while renewing their vows in front of their children and grandchildren.

We are truly so grateful that you got in touch to ask us to be a small part of your intimate family celebration. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for inviting us into your lives again.
