Steve & Georgina: 1920s Wedding at Swiss Gardens & Shuttleworth Hangar 3

I had always dreamed of shooting a wedding at the Swiss Gardens as it's a place that is really special to me, and Steve & Georgina's 1920s inspired day made it happen!

Their ceremony was a beautifully intimate gathering, held in the Swiss Cottage which seats just 20 people. Georgina wowed us all when she walked down the aisle in her stunning beaded Eliza Jane Howell dress, evening gloves and art deco headdress - a beautiful modern twist on 1920s glitz and glamour. Guests peeked in at the ceremony through the windows as they said their vows and listened to heartfelt readings from family and friends.

Afterwards, everybody headed into the stunning Swiss Gardens for drinks and canapes, and we were lucky enough to have a tour to find fabulous places for Steve & Georgina's portraits. I always thought the Grotto would make an amazing setting for wedding portraits.. and it was just as great as I'd imagined.

Hangar 3 at the Shuttleworth Collection was the setting for their reception, and that was where Georgina's vision truly came to life. Walking into the hangar was a real wow moment, with patriotic bunting hanging from the rafters and tables decorated with fabulous feathered centrepieces and sequinned tablecloths.

Before the wedding breakfast began, guests were treated to a tour of the historic Shuttleworth collection, and we were so grateful to be allowed past the barriers to take portraits next to the aeroplanes - thank you Shuttleworth!

Steve & Georgina, thank you so much for asking me to photograph your day. It was an honour to capture the love and dedicated vision that was your wedding day!

Emily & Callum: Elegant Shuttleworth Mansion House Wedding

Emily and Callum’s day was a beautiful, elegant affair, set in the beautiful surroundings of the Shuttleworth Mansion House.

They met at school, and years later Callum proposed to Emily with an engagement ring Pandora charm, so they could go ring shopping together and pick the perfect engagement ring. What a wonderful idea!

After the ceremony in the Billiard Room we sneaked out for photographs, and with their pale pink and navy blue colour scheme, the rhododendrons that had just come into bloom made the absolute perfect backdrop for their portraits.

A quiz on their lives together during dinner proved an absolute hit, and the flower raffle too, a fantastic way to get your guests involved in your day. With non-traditional yet touching speeches from both the bride and groom’s sisters, I really felt like I had got to know their wonderful families by the end of the day,

They finished their night with a wonderful rendition of the dance from Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud, a packed dance floor and photo booth fun. Thank you Emily & Callum, it was a real privilege to photograph your day!


"We loveeeeee them! They are so stunning. We can’t thank you enough. You captured some great moments and we didn’t even know our picture was being taken! You captured everything perfectly and I can’t stop looking at them!" - Emily & Callum
