It’s always a pleasure to shoot at one of my very favourite wedding venues, the gorgeous Mottram Hall in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. It’s even more of a pleasure to shoot in stunning weather and with a great fun-loving couple, Rebecca & Richard were that couple.
I was lucky enough to spend a little time with both the bride and groom in the morning before the wedding. Capturing a little of the preparations, the dressing, the lighthearted moments, and a little of the nerves too. Rebecca & Richard enjoyed a romantic ceremony in the St Andrews suite before making their way to the Garden Room and out into the glorious October sunshine for their drinks receptions with family and friends.
Natural portraits in the Rose Garden
After some family groups, we wandered the lush Rose Gardens of the Hall for some relaxed portraits in the sun. With dinner on the horizon, the couple spent some time with their friends before being welcomed into their wedding breakfast. After a delicious meal and a round of speeches, the couple retired back to the Garden room to relax into the evening and greet more wedding guests.
Once their evening party was ready, their band The Edge welcomed the couple onto the floor for their first dance as man and wife before the couple was mobbed by family and friends. It’s safe to say that as long as the band was playing, their dance floor was full and the atmosphere was amazing! So a Massive Congratulations to Rebecca & Richard, it’s been a pleasure to get to know you both and join you on your wedding day. Thanks so much for having me as your Mottram Hall wedding photographer!!
