Ella and Brett chose to share a first look before their ceremony, and the moment couldn’t have been more emotional. Surrounded by the blooming gardens of Sages Cottage Farm, Brett turned around and saw Ella for the first time—and he cried. It was a genuine, heartwarming moment that captured the depth of their connection.

After their first look, we explored the property for bridal party and couple portraits. The Stables at Sages Cottage Farm offers a beautiful variety of backdrops—from rustic fences and charming brickwork to lush greenery and open meadows. 

The ceremony took place in the heart of the gardens, where bright, colourful flowers framed the aisle and created a whimsical, garden-party atmosphere. Friends and family gathered among the blooms as Ella and Brett exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony that felt deeply personal and naturally beautiful.

Once the sun began to set, the celebration really kicked off. Inside the rustic-chic reception space at The Stables, the dance floor quickly filled, and the energy never dipped. The space was alive with laughter, music, and celebration.

Midway through the night, Ella changed into a second short wedding dress, ready to let loose and dance the night away. 

The evening ended with a magical sparkler exit, with guests cheering and waving lights as Ella and Brett walked through the tunnel of love. A perfect end to a perfect day.
