Julia & Chris // Coachwood Golf & Country Club // Windsor, Essex Wedding
As a wedding photographer, capturing the essence of a couple’s special day is not just a job—it’s a privilege. Every wedding is unique, but some are simply unforgettable. Such was the case with Julia and Chris’s beautiful fall wedding. The crisp autumn air and golden hues of the season set the perfect backdrop for their day. From the heartfelt moments shared with family and friends to the dreamy starlit portraits, every part of their day felt like a page from a love story. Chris enjoyed a relaxing morning getting ready at his parents’ house, surrounded by his groomsmen and family, while Julia spent the morning getting ready at home with her closest loved ones and bridesmaids.
I'm thrilled to share the highlights of their magical day and provide a glimpse into the beautiful setting of Coachwood Golf & Country Club!
After a morning spent with their closest loved ones, it was time for the ceremony. Julia and Chris exchanged their first look at the end of the aisle at St. Mary’s Church in Windsor Essex, a moment filled with pure emotion as they locked eyes for the first time on their wedding day.
After the ceremony, we headed to Coachwood Golf & Country Club for portraits. The golden November leaves made the perfect backdrop, adding warmth and romance to every shot. We started with the wedding party—mixing classic poses with fun, candid moments that showed their personalities. Then, I stole Julia and Chris away for their portraits. The crisp fall air, soft light, and pure joy between them made for magic. Some of my favorite shots were the unposed ones—quiet laughs, stolen glances, and the way they just melted into each other.
Coachwood Golf & Country Club provided the perfect setting for Julia and Chris’s reception. The cozy fireplace, soft candlelight, and stunning floral arrangements created a romantic and intimate atmosphere. Their decor was effortlessly elegant—soft blue accents, delicate greenery, and warm wooden touches made the space feel both timeless and inviting. Julia and Chris made a grand entrance, going straight into their first dance. The room was filled with love as they both got completely lost in the moment. After their first dance, Julia and Chris each shared a heartfelt dance with their parents! The evening was a perfect mix of laughter, emotion, and celebration. Guests cheered, clinked glasses, and shared in the couple’s happiness. Between heartfelt speeches, incredible food, and so many unforgettable moments with their closest friends and family, the energy in the room was electric—a night to remember!
The Coachwood Golf & Country Club was the perfect backdrop for Julia & Chris’ dream wedding!
As the celebration carried on inside, we snuck away for a few quiet moments under the night sky. I absolutely loved capturing this moment for Julia and Chris, the photos were pure magic. With nothing but the night sky above them, they danced, laughed, and embraced in the cool night air. There was something so special about capturing their love in such a dreamy, intimate setting—just the two of them, completely in the moment.
A little break from the party, a lot of love, and a night they’ll never forget.
Back inside, the energy was electric as the dance floor came alive! Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Julia and Chris danced the night away—soaking in every second of the joy and excitement. The love in the room was undeniable, making it the perfect way to end such an incredible day.
From the quiet, heartfelt moments of the morning to the wild energy of the dance floor, Julia and Chris’s wedding was an unforgettable celebration! As a wedding photographer, my goal is always to capture the essence of a couple’s love story in a way that feels true to them. For Julia and Chris, their day was all about joy, connection, and the people who mean the most to them. From the heartfelt moments during their vows to the laughter on the dance floor, every part of their wedding reflected their love—not just for each other but for their family and friends as well.
It was an absolute honour to document such a beautiful celebration, filled with so much warmth and happiness. Congratulations, Julia and Chris! Wishing you a lifetime of love and adventure!
