WHY CHOOSE ERICA TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR WEDDING AT MILLING BARN

Why My Style of Photography is Perfect for Milling Barn Milling Barn is the perfect setting for relaxed, fun, and informal weddings. With its rustic charm, woodland ceremony space, and twinkling barn lights, it’s a venue where couples can truly be themselves. No stiff traditions—just real moments, real laughter, and real love. That’s exactly what my documentary wedding photography captures. No forced posing, no endless group shots—just the moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. The belly laughs, the emotional hugs, the way your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching. My job is to tell the story of your day as it naturally unfolds, so when you look back at your photos, you’ll remember exactly how it felt. I know photography can feel like a big investment, especially when budgets are tight. But when the food is eaten and the flowers have faded, your photos are what last. They don’t just capture how everything looked—they preserve the emotions, the fleeting moments, the little things you might have missed. If you want stress-free, natural, and timeless wedding photography, I’d love to chat. Because your wedding isn’t just a day—it’s a story, and it deserves to be told right.

Why Milling Barn is Perfect for Relaxed Weddings

A barn with character – Exposed beams, twinkling lights, and a warm, rustic feel make this venue effortlessly photogenic. Indoor & outdoor options – Say your vows in the Oak Barn, Dairy Barn, or the Woodland Ceremony Area surrounded by nature. Epic countryside views – A stunning backdrop for those blink-and-you-miss-it candid moments. Flexible spaces – Whether you’re planning a small, intimate gathering or a full-on party, there’s plenty of room for both. Locally sourced food – Their in-house caterers, The Chopping Block, focus on ethical, high-quality ingredients (because bad wedding food is a crime). On-site accommodation – Eight en-suite rooms, including a honeymoon suite, so you and your nearest and dearest can crash after the celebrations.

Candid, Documentary Wedding Photography at Milling Barn

Milling Barn is made for relaxed, storytelling-style photography—the kind where you actually get to enjoy your wedding day, rather than spending it stuck in endless formal photos. I’ll capture the real moments—the belly laughs, the teary speeches, your mate doing questionable dance moves after too much Prosecco. No staged awkwardness. No bossy posing. Just real, fun, and beautifully unfiltered memories. If you want a photographer who’ll blend into the background, keep things stress-free, and give you a gallery full of images that feel like your wedding, rather than a magazine shoot—let’s chat.

KIND WORDS

Words cannot describe how talented Erica is so I’ve attached some photos to speak for themselves! From the first time meeting Erica she was friendly, warm and professional. She made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera (neither of us had ever had professional photos taken before so we were nervous!) And needless to say the results were INCREDIBLE. Our wedding photos are more beautiful than we could ever have imagined and we’ve gotten so many comments and compliments from our guests saying how amazing they are and how lovely Erica was on our wedding day. Thank you so much Erica!!
