Set at a beautiful stately home on a sunny August day, Emily and Robert’s wedding day was nothing short of a dream to photograph! Nestled in the Milton Keynes countryside, Chicheley Hall made the perfect setting for their day and provided a grand and elegant backdrop for their celebrations.
My day started with capturing the girls getting ready at the Hall, with my second shooter photographing Robert and his groomsmen as they got ready at home in a nearby village. Both of their mornings were relaxed yet filled with excitement and it was so lovely to capture them getting ready with family and friends.
Their ceremony took place in the mansion house, with light pouring in through the grand windows as they said their vows against beautiful arrangements of soft pink, lilac and cream roses. Emily made a showstopping entrance she walked down the grand staircase, arm in arm with her father, to meet Robert at the end of the aisle.
What I love the most about stately homes is the endless locations for photos and we really made the most of it. Their confetti run looked fantastic against the grand backdrop of the hall, and guests enjoyed reception drinks in the beautiful gardens behind the house. And of course we had to take photos indoors too, a favourite of mine being a black and white shot of the newlyweds by the staircase windows, taken through the chandelier.
After their wedding breakfast and heartfelt speeches, we sneaked out during the golden hour to capture them against that beautiful warm light that everyone dreams of for their wedding photos! The day ended on a high as instead of a first dance, everyone hit the dancefloor at once to party the night away and celebrate this new chapter in Emily and Robert’s story.
Congratulations you two and thank you for having us along for the ride! We loved capturing your day and wish you every happiness for the future.
“We’ve had a look at our photos (whilst on the beach!) and they look absolutely amazing! Thank you so so much, I know you’ve put so much effort into them and we are so grateful you captured our day so beautifully. We are so happy with them. ”
