Big congratulations to Amie & Ben on their wedding at St James Church in Louth! What a gorgeous and sunny day it was for them to be surrounded by their loved ones at their marquee reception on Ben’s family’s land.
The Beginning
“We met when Ben was a chef at a local pub and I was a waitress when we were in our early twenties. We have been together for 14 years. Our first date was at Appleby’s Ice Cream Parlour.”
“We got engaged on the 14th March 2022- (12 year anniversary) in the Peak District, by the most beautiful waterfall. Ben caught it on camera and it was an absolute surprise.”
The Wedding
Meet Ben
We started the day at the couple’s home in Louth where Ben was getting ready with the boys (and doggo!) Ben seemed super relaxed while we got his prep shots, and he asked me to deliver a special something to his bride!
If you’ve seen any of my previous Real Wedding Stories; you’ll know I always start with the guys first because they get ready a lot quicker (sorry girls, it’s true!) and it’s much easier for them to take their jacket off again and relax if they want to!
Meet Amie
Amie and her bride tribe got ready in one of the lodges at Brackenborough Lakes Resort. Her daughter helped her get into her dress and we had a lovely bride reveal for Amie’s dad! Amie looked simply beautiful in her lace gown from Elite Bridal in Hull.

The Ceremony
Amie & Ben’s wedding ceremony was held at St James Church in Louth. The architecture of that church is absolutely stunning, it’s so light an open which meant I could move around and get all kinds of shots for the couple!
Family Photos
After a confetti exit, we took the family photos around the side of the church in the shade.

Cake cut & first dance
Cake maker: Ola Zych
“Our first dance is going to be to “Fall into me” by Forest Blakk
– which was performed amazingly by band No Relevance.”
Newlywed Photoshoot
We climbed over a country gate (literally!) to get some stunning golden hour photos amongst the equally stunning landscapes in Louth.
Reception
Their reception was a lively one! No Relevance performed three separate sets and really hyped up the crowd! But to top it all off, our wedding photography session ended in fireworks!
