The heartwarming intimate wedding of Ella and Dean. From her breathtaking dress to a cozy meal at The Ivy.

The heartwarming, intimate wedding of Ella and Dean. From her breathtaking dress to a cozy meal at The Ivy.

Ella and Dean’s wedding was the epitome of intimacy and elegance. With just a handful of family members in attendance, they exchanged vows at Winchester Registry Office for a small, heartfelt ceremony.

Ella was a vision in her stunning, figure-hugging dress from Little London Brides. She looked absolutely beautiful, and Dean couldn’t take his eyes off her. 

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests strolled down to The Ivy for a delicious meal. The vibes were cozy and stylish, perfectly complementing the intimate feel of the day.

Despite a touch of rain, the mighty sites of Winchester City served as a magnificent backdrop as we took a walk around for couple photos. 

Ella and Dean’s wedding was a testament to the fact that sometimes, less truly is more. With their nearest and dearest by their side, they created a day that was totally theirs and they enjoyed every second of it.

ABOUT the Photographer

I’m Kirsty, you super-friendly, chilled out wedding photographer

I love working with people who want to do things differently. 

If you care more about how it feels than what’s trending, you’re my people.

You laugh loudly, get the giggles and pull silly faces. You don’t take yourselves too seriously, you care about the little things, and you want to soak up every moment of your day with your favourite humans.
