The Team Behind the Scenes

Sunlight poured through the barn doors, florals spilled across tables in soft romantic hues, and the sound of quiet excitement filled the air. Our Summer wedding photoshoot at Thetford Farm Barn was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and everything we love about weddings in the countryside.

Set against our lovingly restored barn and sweeping Lincolnshire views, this styled shoot brought together a dream team of local talent to showcase what’s possible when inspiration and craftsmanship come together. Whether you’re planning your wedding here or just looking for styling ideas, this shoot offers plenty of swoon-worthy details and expert insight from some of the region’s best wedding suppliers.
