Millie and Tobie’s wedding at Mill Farm, Sandy, August 2025
Some weddings have a quality that's hard to pin down but immediately felt - a looseness, a warmth, a sense that every decision made in the planning has been made with genuine joy rather than obligation. Millie and Tobie's day at Mill Farm was exactly that. Beautiful flowers, long trestle tables, garden games spilling across the meadow, and a band - the Snap Chaps - who absolutely brought the house down. And Millie herself, quite possibly one of the smiliest brides I've had the pleasure of photographing. The whole day felt deeply, genuinely them.
Nestled where Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire meet, Mill Farm is a family-run blank canvas venue set amidst rolling farmland Mill Farm - the kind of place that actively invites couples to shape a day entirely around themselves rather than fitting into someone else's template. The licensed open barn and three-acre meadow can accommodate Giant Tipis, Sailcloth Marquees or Stretch Tents Mill Farm, with glamping accommodation and a farmhouse sleeping up to 28 guests on site Mill Farm - making it as well suited to a wedding weekend as a single day celebration. For a documentary photographer, the combination of open countryside, natural light and the relaxed, festival-adjacent energy that Mill Farm naturally generates is a wonderful thing. Couples who choose this venue tend to be exactly the kind of couples I love working with - unpretentious, creative, and focused on a day that actually feels like them.
If you're drawn to Mill Farm as a venue and want a real sense of what a full day of documentary wedding photography looks like in this setting - the atmosphere, the details, the unscripted moments between the planned ones - I hope what follows gives you exactly that. And if you'd like to talk about your own day here, or anywhere else, I'd love to hear from you.
