Some weddings just feel good from the moment you arrive, and James and Candace’s wedding at Otford Farm was exactly that. Relaxed, stress free, and centred around family, nature and genuinely enjoying the day, this is what reminds us why do we what we do!
Held on their family property, Otford Farm is absolutely stunning. Open space, fresh air, and that peacful feeling you get when you are surrounded by nature. James and Candace were never interested in rushing the day or sticking to a strict timeline. Their focus was pretty simple, to spend it with family and soak up every moment.
Now a little bit about their love story. James and Candace’s story began in December 2012 at Engadine train station. They met on a double date, who would later become Jame’s groomsman. James was already on the train, having come from Otford, while Candace hopped on at Engadine.
It was one of those low pressure, everyday moments that quietly turned into something big. No big or grand date, just two people meeting in a very casual way. From there, their story unfolded naturally, which honestly feels like the perfect reflection of what the day they later created.
From the morning through to the reception, the entire day felt calm and intentional. The ceremony was heartfelt and relaxed, set again the beautiful tree’s of the property. The reception also started off very romantic but just when the guests thought the night couldn’t get any better, James and Candace pulled off an epic surprise. After their first dance, The Hot Potato Band made a surprise appearance, and the energy instantly exploded.
These guys are incredible. The music, the interaction, and the way they bring people together on the dance floor is next level. Every time we have the chance to work alongside them, the vibe is unreal, and this night was no exception.
James and Candace’s wedding was a perfect example of what happens when couples prioritise connection over pressure. Great speeches, an incredible band, and laid back atmosphere made for an unforgettable day.
As I say in all of our blog posts, these are the weddings we love most. The one where couples are present, enjoy the moment and not stress over the little details. If you think this sounds like you, reach out, we’d love to chat!
