Danielle & James | Emotion Over Everything

Jackson & Co Photography | Lympne Castle Wedding

Evening all, tonight we get to finally share some of our favourite frames from Danielle & James’s wedding at Lympne Castle back in the spring time of last year. Maybe it was because it happened at the end of a very long and grotty winter of lockdowns, maybe because it had been delayed a while, or maybe it happened this way simply because these two families unapologetically wear their hearts on their sleeve.

The results are some of our favourite ever photos. Sure, Lympne Castle is a beautiful Kent wedding venue, that’s obvious. The styling was awesome, James suit was a banger and Danielles dress cut to perfection. But all of that is just set decoration when you have the amount of emotion on show that this day had.

From the morning preparations, with friends tearfully squeezing hands, through to the ceremony (side ramble: we were asked to stand at the back by the Vicar and I was mighty cheesed off and then the universe ended up rewarding us by putting us in the perfect position to see James overwhelmed and teary eyed as Danielle came down the aisle. It’s not where we would usually position ourselves but on this occasion it made for the better photo. End ramble) and then dancing on the lawn at sunset (please can this carry on into 2022 please?).

Emotion beats everything else. Us Brits can be a little uptight sometimes, all that stiff upper lip etc. It’s best to leave that at home on a wedding day and just throw it all out there. Tears of joy, tight hugs, beaming smiles, that’s what we want and what makes for the best wedding days.

Here’s a wander through Danielle & James’s day, enjoy it…
