Alex & becky’S WEDDING at cider mill barns
Their engagement photos with Oscar the dog
These two had been through a lot in the run-up to their wedding with Alex having treatment and recovery time. It was wonderful to see them enjoying this day to the full.
wedding morning preparations
The guys got ready in a nearby hotel. They had a ride camper van over to the venue. Alex gave them all personalised gifts which was a nice touch.
Becky got ready at Cider Mill with little flower girls. All the bridesmaids were a great vibe, getting the playlist going straight away. And pausing for a dance session to get them all excited. The Instax pictures started early which I love to see!
Their special guest, Oscar the dog, was on meet and greet duty (with Jess his dog walker who was looking after him for the day). He’s a lovely boy and we’d already had the chance to meet him at their engagement shoot.
the wedding ceremony at cider mill barns
There was a pianist (Chris Keys Piano) to play them down the aisle, which felt really special. It was a legal ceremony in front of big windows and the beautiful archway. Take a look at how many florals are on the register table. Such a beautiful set up.
Becky and Alex stopped for a surprise swooping kiss as they walked down the aisle. Seeing these guys relaxed and romantic on the day was so precious.

We took everyone straight from the ceremony to the orchard for confetti and a big group picture. Then it was time for drinks and canapes. It’s a great moment for us to get some candid shots of guests chatting before a group photos with their favourite people. We had help from little flower girls to get the people in the photos smiling, which was super cute.
Guests could also get their portraits drawn by the fantastic Harley Sindall (I’m quite jealous, they looked wonderful).
Their evening
There was time to mingle outside, we love summer weddings for this part of the day, all the nerves are gone and everyone’s happy to catch up with old friends. We set up the photo booth and loved watching everyone get a bit silly in there.
Becky and Alex cut their gorgeous cake. Can we give a shout-out to Cake Creations Redditch who came back and mended the whole cake after a bit of a mishap at the venue? It looked perfect and she was so generous about it.
It was a big night of dancing- especially from the little flower girls. There were glowsticks galore and wedding glasses to add to the fun.
We finished off the night with some photos outside of Alex and Becky under the iconic Cider Mill Barns arches.
Happy anniversary you two - love Nom x
