Twilight Magic at The Lion Inn: Danielle & Klevis’ Unforgettable Wedding

When it comes to creative wedding photography in Essex, few venues set the stage quite like The Lion Inn in Boreham—and Danielle and Klevis' stunning twilight wedding proved exactly why it’s one of my favourites.
 

As a recommended supplier for The Lion Inn, I always feel incredibly lucky to return to this gorgeous venue, especially when I'm photographing a couple as amazing as these two. Their day was packed with joy, laughter, and the kind of moments every wedding photographer dreams of capturing.
 

A Twilight Ceremony Full of Emotion
 

The soft golden glow of a twilight ceremony offers a romantic, cinematic backdrop—and it was perfect for Danielle and Klevis. From the moment they said "I do," every frame was lit with that dreamy, dusky light that adds magic to every shot.
 

Surrounded by their closest friends and family, their ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening of celebration. It’s these candid, emotional moments that define unique wedding photos, and I was thrilled to document every one.
 

Dancing, Fields, and Field-Worthy Romance
 

After the formalities, guests were treated to traditional dancing that had the entire evening buzzing with energy. Everyone was up on their feet, the music infectious, and the joy utterly contagious. These lively, spontaneous moments always make for some of the most genuine and joy-filled wedding images.
 

But one of my personal highlights? The epic golden-hour couple shoot out in the fields. With the last light of the day dipping behind them, Danielle and Klevis absolutely lit up the landscape. These shots are why I love what I do—they capture not just how the day looked, but how it felt.
