Barley Village Hall Wedding by Tim Christian Jones

  • Tim Christian Jones

Susie and Dan’s late May wedding had everything — a beautiful church ceremony at St. Michael’s & All Angels Church in Foulridge, a countryside backdrop for portraits, and a lively reception at Barley Village Hall.

The rain didn’t stop a thing. These two stuck to their plans, braving the Lancashire fields with big smiles and plenty of laughter. By the evening, the hall was filled with music and ceilidh dancing — the kind of night where no one wants to leave the dance floor.

I loved photographing a day like this — full of energy, personality, and moments you don’t see coming.

Closing the Story

Susie and Dan’s wedding is one I’ll always remember — proof that a little rain can’t dampen a day full of love and laughter. From their vows in St. Michael’s & All Angels Church to ceilidh dancing in Barley, every part of their celebration was filled with energy and warmth.
