the farm Hannah and James’s country wedding enjoyed rustic touches and a dark blue theme Images courtesy of Jane Austin Romance Photography DOWN ON Hannah Stone and James Williams married on the 27th of May 2023 at Shaugh Prior church followed by a reception at Higher Bughill Farm in Devon. Hannah and James were both raised on their family farms which they now run. “We met when James was working in his field located next to the farm belonging to my family and his machine broke down. To save him from travelling back to his farm, he popped into ours and asked to use our workshop to repair his machine,” Hannah tells us. “James mentioned that he needed a tractor driver to help on his farm, and after seeing my tractor-driving skills, he offered me the position! After many years of working for James, we realised that there was a spark between us.” The couple became engaged when James proposed on Hannah’s 30th birthday at Prince Hall during a weekend break. “We were standing at the top of a little arched bridge over a small river surrounded by moorland when James got down on one knee and popped the question,” Hannah says. “It was a wonderful surprise.” Here, Hannah tells us all about their rustic-inspired farm wedding that was decorated with dark blue touches. 31 REAL WEDDINGS
