Jasmine & Matt’s Milling Barn Wedding – A Royal Marine, Tears of Joy & A Perfect Day


Some wedding moments stay with you forever, and Jasmine & Matt’s beautiful wedding at Milling Barn on 15th August 2021 was full of them. Matt, a proud Royal Marine, stood tall in his impeccably polished uniform, but when he saw Jasmine walking down the aisle with her dad, he couldn’t hold back his tears. A truly touching moment that showed just how much this day meant.


Set in the Hertfordshire countryside, Milling Barn is a charming barn wedding venue, offering a perfect mix of rustic elegance and natural beauty. With its exposed beams, stunning gardens, and intimate atmosphere, it provided the ideal backdrop for Jasmine & Matt’s celebration. As a Milling Barn wedding photographer, capturing this setting in the beautiful summer light was a dream. The day started with rain in the morning, but by the time the ceremony began, the sun came out in full force, bathing the barn and surrounding countryside in golden light. From emotional vows to an incredible evening celebration, this was a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. The evening reception was nothing short of spectacular—a fantastic party that carried on late into the night. It was an honour to photograph a wedding where military tradition, romance, and pure joy blended so perfectly. Jasmine & Matt, thank you for letting me capture such a special day!
