WOODLAND ROMANCE AT ARLEY ARBORETUM
Arley Arboretum in Bewdley is a truly magical spot for an outdoor wedding. Laura and Howi’s day was a masterclass in relaxed, vintage-inspired style, set against the stunning backdrop of the Italian gardens and the Arboretum’s historic trees.
The ceremony was held outdoors, surrounded by nature and their closest family and friends. It was the perfect match for their chilled-out personalities—minimal fuss, maximum fun, and a real focus on enjoying every second of the celebration. QUIRKY MOMENTS & ITALIAN GARDENS
The beauty of Arley is the sheer variety of locations for photos. We wandered through the manicured Italian gardens for some elegant portraits before heading into the more wild, woodland areas for a few quirky shots that reflected the couple’s sense of humour.
As a wedding photographer, I love venues that allow for a bit of creative freedom. Whether we were using the grand stone fountains or the hidden leafy pathways, the Arboretum provided a spectacular natural frame for every moment.
Advice for an Outdoor Wedding: Embrace the surroundings. Arley is so beautiful that you don't need much extra decoration—let the landscape do the work and just enjoy the fresh air and the scenery!
