What’s more, since the venue is blessed with some stunning surrounding scenery, Tony was able to find at least six or seven on-site locations for the group and couple shots; meaning the couple were able to choose from a huge variety of images without the need to leave the venue grounds. Tony concludes, “I enjoyed my experience at Selden Barns and congratulate the team for a well organised experience, as well as the support and communication.” Find out more about Tony Graham Photography at www.tonygrahamphotography.co.uk EDITOR LOVES Stunning new hair accessory designs by Gabriella Casemore are here.
