barn wedding_suffolk_rustic vintage_tatum reid photography_neal and wendy_country wedding_wedding photography suffolk (83) Neal and Wendy got married at Bateman’s Barn in Suffolk just over a month ago. It was the first time I had photographed a wedding at this venue, and my word, it’s a little gem!

Bateman’s Barn is set within the grounds of the grade 1 listed South Elmham Hall and it features beautiful gardens, a medieval moat and a fire pit for those winter weddings. It’s a family run business, with a hands on approach from owners John and Nicole, who make sure everything runs like clockwork on the day!

Wendy got ready on-site in a house located on the grounds with beautiful character features! She wore the most amazing vintage lace dress by Lavender and Jude, and looked like an absolute dream in it!

We struck it lucky with the weather, it being late September, and guest had canapes and drinks outside in the courtyard while we explored the gardens and grounds (including the moat) for some couple shots.

I absolutely adored the unique guest favours from Wildflower favours, guests names were printed on plantable seed paper, so guests could plant it and see flowers grow!

Neal and Wendy are both fun-loving and down-to-earth and their wedding day really reflected that. My husband, Michael, who came along to second shoot and I had such a lovely time spending the day with Wendy and Neal’s friends and family. And may I say, some of the best dance floor actions shots I have had the pleasure of photographing by far – we didn’t want to leave!!

Hi there,

We are interested in holding a wedding at Bateman’s barn and love the photographs here. We love the fact it is a small business and the owners sound very helpful. As there are not many reviews online I was wondering whether you might give us any information on how the couple found the day and if there is anything they would change?

Many Thanks,

Sophie
