The Tithe Barn Wedding | Becca & Ollie | Bedfordshire Wedding Photographer
As a Bedfordshire wedding photographer, Becca and Ollie’s October wedding at The Tithe Barn at The Kingfisher Bedford was a truly special day to capture. Having known Becca for a number of years, this wedding felt incredibly personal, making it even more meaningful to document every moment.
This was my fourth time photographing a wedding at The Tithe Barn, and once again, it proved why it’s such a popular Bedfordshire wedding venue. The team and coordinators ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone involved. The barn itself offers a beautiful, rustic setting for ceremonies, full of character with its exposed beams and warm tones, while the adjoining marquee and lawn provide the perfect space for guests to relax and celebrate.
Bridal preparations took place in the bright and spacious preparation suite, ideal for natural, light-filled photography. Becca looked absolutely radiant, with a beautiful glow throughout the day. With her pregnancy adding an extra layer of emotion, we captured some gentle, natural maternity-style portraits by the window — timeless images that will hold even more meaning in years to come.
The ceremony was filled with emotion, set against the stunning backdrop of the barn’s wooden beams and elegant décor. Ollie did his best to stay composed, but the nerves were definitely there as he waited at the altar. After a heartfelt ceremony, we stepped outside for confetti and allowed time for hugs, congratulations, and those genuine in-between moments that are so important in telling the full story of a wedding day.
The grounds at The Kingfisher Bedford offer fantastic opportunities for group photos, with the barn, flower beds, and riverside setting providing beautiful backdrops. We had some fun with the groomsmen, creating relaxed yet stylish group shots, before moving into couple portraits — including a few more subtle maternity moments to reflect this unique chapter in Becca and Ollie’s lives.
One of the standout moments of the day came during the evening celebrations, when the couple surprised their guests with singing waiters. The energy in the room instantly lifted, with guests singing, dancing, and fully embracing the fun — an incredible atmosphere to photograph. Later, the cake cutting turned into an unforgettable gender reveal, filling the barn with joy, laughter, and emotional reactions from family and friends.
As the evening continued, the dance floor came alive, giving the perfect opportunity to capture relaxed, candid moments as everyone let their hair down and celebrated into the night.
A huge thank you to Becca and Ollie for trusting me to capture such an important and personal day. If you’re planning your wedding at The Tithe Barn at The Kingfisher Bedford and are looking for a Bedfordshire wedding photographer who focuses on natural, storytelling photography, this wedding is a perfect example of how special your day can be.
