Ellie & Will’s Intimate Wedding at The Out Barn, Clitheroe

Ellie and Will’s wedding at The Out Barn was the kind of day that felt quietly special from start to finish. Intimate, thoughtful and completely personal, it was full of small details that reflected what they love, especially their shared obsession with Italy.

From homemade limoncello to their two golden retrievers playing a big part in the day, everything felt relaxed and true to them. It was a wedding that wasn’t about doing things a certain way  but about enjoying the people and moments that mattered most.

The morning was calm and unhurried, with plenty of time to enjoy the little moments. Ellie and Will had put a lot of thought into the details, many of them inspired by their love of Italy.

One of the highlights was the homemade limoncello, which they’d made themselves and shared with guests later in the day. It was a simple touch, but one that said a lot about them — personal, meaningful, and done just because they loved it.

The ceremony itself was intimate and emotional, with everyone close enough to feel part of it. And then came one of those moments that instantly relaxes a room. Ellie and Will’s two golden retrievers making their way down the aisle.

One of them had the important job of ring bearer, which brought a lot of smiles and laughter and set the tone perfectly. It wasn’t polished or staged, just real, and exactly right for them.

After the ceremony, the rest of the day unfolded naturally. Guests chatted, enjoyed drinks, and soaked up the views around The Out Barn, while Ellie and Will spent time with everyone without being pulled away for ages.

We kept photos simple and relaxed with short walks, natural light, and moments as they happened. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed, just a reflection of how the day actually felt.

Ellie and Will’s wedding is a great example of how well The Out Barn works for couples planning an intimate, relaxed celebration with plenty of personality.
