Beautiful Stourhead wedding
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the UK’s most inspiring couples on their wedding days. This summer a lovely couple from London asked me if I would come and shoot their small intimate ceremony at Stourhead – the famous 100 acres of glorious gardens and scenery!
As you arrive at Stourhead, you’ll be struck by its beauty and elegance. The estate’s stunning gardens, complete with lush greenery and colorful flowers, provide the perfect setting for a ceremony. This stunning estate, nestled in the rolling hills of the English countryside, has played host to many a romantic occasion and has even served as a filming location for the beloved period drama, Pride & Prejudice – one of my favourite films ever
This wedding downsized due to the pandemic and it turned out beautifully – The girls got ready at a local barn Airbnb, with their bouquets arriving from the wonderful Bramble And Wild and matching her shoes perfectly. Holly’s unique two-piece came from the Spanish designer Otaduy at Rock The Frock Bridal – “It’s simple in a way but very elegant (silk) and there are some lovely details such as an open back and train. It all just worked really well together for me and I felt comfortable and beautiful when wearing it.”
After the ceremony, we did confetti down the temple steps along with a few family photos – and then the heavens opened! The guests strolled through the gardens, back to the Main hall where they had drinks and canapés. We also took many stunning photos around the grounds, and thankfully it wasn’t too busy with tourists
As the day turned into evening, we traveled onto the Howards House Hotel closeby – a beautiful local hotel where they had the private coachhouse available to them, decorated beautifully with colours of bluebell blue, darker blues, pale pinks and whites. The couple also incorporated some wedgwood and delft bud vases of their own to the table design.
Holly had designed and baked the stunning and personal Jane Austen themed biscuits as favours – aren’t they amazing!!
After the meal there were speeches, scratch cards, with a first dance – a wonderful wedding for this amazing couple and so worth the wait!
Congratulations again Holly & Charlie ♡
