Katie & Ben’s Rustic Woodland Wedding at The Dreys - The Dreys wedding Photographer

Some wedding days just feel different from the moment you arrive—and Katie and Ben’s wedding at The Dreys was one of those days.

Tucked away in the woods, The Dreys is the kind of venue that instantly slows you down. Tall trees, dappled light, birdsong in the background… it’s rustic, relaxed, and quietly magical. It was the perfect setting for a couple like Katie and Ben, whose wedding day felt less like a production and more like a beautifully intentional gathering of their favourite people.

From a Dreys wedding photographer’s perspective, woodland ceremonies are a dream—the soft, natural light, the organic textures, and the sense of intimacy they create. This one was truly something special.

Katie and Ben’s couple portraits were wonderfully relaxed. No stiff posing, no pressure—just the two of them walking, laughing, and enjoying a few quiet moments together while the celebrations continued nearby. These are always some of my favourite images to capture: real connection, genuine joy, and the kind of love that doesn’t need direction.

Katie and Ben’s wedding was a beautiful reminder of how powerful a thoughtfully chosen venue can be. The Dreys didn’t just host their wedding—it reflected who they are as a couple: grounded, warm, and deeply connected to the people around them.

It was an absolute honour to photograph their day, to witness their story, and to capture moments they’ll carry with them for a lifetime.

Thank you for trusting me to document such a meaningful chapter of your lives. Your wedding was truly unforgettable.
