Fiesta Fields is an outdoor wedding and events company, representing a variety of beautiful outdoor venues dotted across Surrey and Sussex. Phoenice Fields are set within the beautiful Trust Reserve of Norbury Park, which lies within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Located just outside Leatherhead, it offers the benefit of nearby accommodation and great transport links. The space combines idyllic, expansive views, with a feeling of total seclusion. It's exceptionally peaceful and offers plenty of space for camping, guest parking, an outdoor blessing and tipi or marquee.

Access is via a rural track that quickly transports guests from town to countryside, and couples can take advantage of the long grasses and wildflowers in the field and the pretty woods just outside the tree-lined field for their photos.

Celebrant-led ceremonies can take place in whichever part of the field couples choose with a flower arch, ceremony tipi or similar providing a focal point, and guests can be seated on bales or chairs, depending on preference.

Receptions are held in the desired structure ie tipis/marquee, this is 'blank canvas' wedding in its purest sense! Fiesta Fields offers full flexibility for choice of suppliers so couples can piece together every element of their reception. A tipi or marquee is generally supplied with matting, lighting, tables, chairs, dancefloor, with other finishing touches available, ready for couples to add flowers and décor. The team bring a wealth of event and project management experience, along with creativity, attention to detail and a knowledge of local suppliers; offering full or partial coordination or an essentials package that includes land hire, power, loos, security and on-the-day coordination. Cream canvas tipis are offered through Feista Field's sister company Canvas & Light (canvasandlight.co.uk).

The concept behind this La Luna style shoot was conceived by coordinators Laura and Jon, of VLA Wedding Photography, and Rosie of Rosie Hart Hair & Make Up. Set in the tranquil, romantic garden of one of Surrey's most loved wedding venues, Gate Street Barn, this editorial showcases an intimate, relaxed, bohemian wedding with a focus on portraying feelings in photos. The colour palette comprised warm oranges and an opulent gold for added luxury, with the ambition of creating an effect of a sunset glow reminiscent of holidays and summer sun.

Megan and Sam met at a wedding; Sam's brother Oli happened to be marrying Megan's best friend Steph – he was the best man she the bridesmaid – and the rest is history! “When Sam proposed, it was a complete surprise,” shares Megan. “Our relationship had progressed quickly, we took my family dog Henry on a walk to The Haycutter pub, in Broadham Green, Surrey. Walking across the field I was walking slightly ahead and turned round to find Sam down on one knee! Rachel Thornhill, who was to be our wedding photographer, was hiding in the bushes and captured the whole thing! “Needless to say, we never made it to the pub. Sam insisted we went back to the farm, as we call it, to tell my parents. Upon arrival all our best friends and family were there as a surprise to congratulate us – it was a good job I said yes!”

Bruna and Dylan met on dating app Hinge, after the usual cheesy chat up lines and a few weeks of conversation they decided to meet up at Four Thieves in Clapham. “After that night, we have spent every day together,” shares Bruna. “After six months of dating the dreaded Covid lockdown started and we made the decision to move in together, which was a leap of faith! Luckily, we survived the trial very early in the relationship and have been going strong since then.” Bruna was attracted to Dylan's kindness and how easy it was to talk to him. “From the moment I met him it was like we had known each other our whole lives. I know its cheesy when they say when you meet the one you know, but that is it, I just knew after a few hours of meeting him.” Dylan adds, “I was attracted to Bruna's Latina flair and personality that made me both excited and nervous – a good combination on a first date! She was very easy to talk to – the wine definitely helped – and we just connected instantly, it felt like we had known each other our whole lives too.”

Meeting on a night out in Bath during their University days, Hannah and Ben's first date was a few weeks later where they chatted for hours about every topic under the sun. “Ben said his dance moves must have attracted me to him,” laughs Hannah. “I think it was his sense of humour and kind nature that I saw, once I got to know him better on our subsequent dates. Talking to him was easy and we quickly became best friends!”

Ben says that he loved Hannah's confidence and how fun she was. “He liked my caring nature, but also my more adventurous side, which he quickly discovered on our dates,” adds Hannah. “He says that he was so keen, he
started telling everyone we were together before he'd even asked me properly. Luckily, I felt the same and found it quite funny!”
