Banyers House & Cambridge Family Estate Hosts Vibrant Vegan Indian Wedding
Not everyone has the luxury of a wedding venue with a tennis court, forest, and stream, but Janki and Andy did at their family estate, creating a stunning backdrop for their celebration in Cambridge. Banyers House, a luxurious hotel in Cambridgeshire, helped the couple and their guests prepare for the festivities in a relaxed atmosphere. Hiring a wedding planner for a family estate is essential; they handle the unique challenges of such personal venues, ensuring everything runs smoothly. A wedding planner also assists in finding the right suppliers who align with your values; for instance, this couple specifically wanted vegan food (vegan photographer was a bonus!). Amy at Amarynth Wedding Planning allowed Janki and Andy to focus on what truly mattered: celebrating their love amidst family, friends, and beautiful scenery.
Vegan Wedding Challenges and Encouragements
Planning a fully vegan wedding can have its challenges, like finding caterers who really understand vegan cuisine, protein or making sure your decor materials align with your values. You might also be concerned about guests who aren’t used to plant-based options. But the rewards are truly special by giving them the opportunity to try, with safe familiar things available too.
A vegan wedding lets you celebrate your commitment to sustainability and compassion, as well as your commitment to each other. With a little creativity and a good wedding planner, you can serve up delicious dishes and beautiful floral arrangements that highlight the beauty of plant-based living, inspiring your guests along the way.

What can I say about Tom? The most TALENTED photographer and an even more fantastic person. We knew we wanted Tom the moment we saw his portfolio, his pictures were absolutely stunning, and his eye is just fantastic. He manages to capture such precious moments and the quality of the images was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately at the time our budget wouldn't allow, so we walked away (briefly) before realising that we wanted Tom so much we'd make sure we could afford it by making cuts elsewhere, and WOW are we glad we made that decision!
(continued)
From start to finish, Tom has been extraordinary to work with. Such a kind and easy way about him, he gave us so much helpful advice and amazing ideas in our initial zoom call. Everything from group photos, to scheduling, to putting our minds at rest about being the centre of attention all day! He found out about us as a couple, and made sure he knew what was important to us personally so he could emphasise that in his shots. For us we wanted to capture the warmth of the day, the moments we might miss and the fun and vibrancy of the day and Tom and Kendelle did EXACTLY that. (Just as a side note - I'd definitely recommend investing in an associate photographer).
(continued)
The photos he captured are absolutely perfect, I shed a tear going through the album because he caught the whole day so perfectly! It was like reliving our favourite day all over again! We're really struggling to choose which to get printed because they're honestly just all so fantastic! He even caught moments between Matt (my husband) and I that I don't even remember happening, but were just so wonderful to see. So many of our guests have commented how lovely Tom was throughout the day, really putting them at ease and he really felt like he was part of the day and fit right into my friends and family, which was exactly what we wanted (while also being really subtle and taking so many sneaky shots I don't remember seeing him taking!!)

We really connected with Tom on so many levels, but we genuinely feel like we've made a friend. It's really important when you're planning a wedding (in my opinion) that you really trust the people you're working with, and we can honestly say from the bottom of our hearts that we trusted Tom implicitly and weren't disappointed at all!
If you're looking for a wedding photographer, please don't look any further! Tom is your man. Not only will you receive the BEST images of your wedding day, but you might just make a new pal at the same time!

Why Wed in The Cambridgeshire Countryside & Private Estate
As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing beautiful moments at some amazing venues. However, there's something truly enchanting about luxury marquees set in the countryside on a private estate. This setting offers a unique blend of intimacy and grandeur that can transform your wedding day into something extraordinary. The expansive, exclusive spaces allow for stunning photography opportunities that are deeply personal—whether it’s reminiscing in a spot from your childhood or creating new memories in a breathtaking backdrop. Don’t dismiss this idea as out of reach; with the right wedding planner, your dream wedding can become a reality, just like it did for Janki and Andy.

Luxury Wedding Photographer
Let me emphasise this once more: if you're planning a wedding at your parents' or relatives' estate, enlisting the help of a wedding planner is a game changer. They can guide you in creating a day that honours your traditions and values while ensuring everything runs smoothly. I also recommend considering a nearby hotel for getting ready; it provides a beautiful backdrop and gives your team the space they need to prepare everything seamlessly. Additionally, think about choosing Spring or Summer for your wedding date and picking an amazing florist like Wild Stems (florist for this wedding). The vibrant blooms and warm weather can enhance the beauty of your celebration, making it all the more memorable. Finally, don’t forget to add personal touches that reflect your story. Whether it’s using family heirlooms, honouring traditions, or having loved ones help out, these details will make your day feel uniquely yours.
