Kallyna and Ethan had some rather grand and ambitious plans for their wedding celebrations. I mean, why settle for just one wedding day when you can have two? I was incredibly lucky to be there for round one, at the breathtaking Ashridge House. This venue is one of my all-time favourites, located in Hertfordshire. Ashridge House offers couples an abundance of options to make their wedding truly unique.

A Spring Wedding at Owlpen Manor in the Cotswolds

Owlpen Manor is hidden deep in the Cotswolds countryside. Its own private little hamlet with the most glorious gardens. They almost given an Italian feeling. Well, especially in the spring and summer.

Having met Henry and Ellie in Leicestershire for the pre wedding session, I knew that these two were not fond of the limelight or all of the attention being on them. This isn’t unusual, I’d say 90% of the couples that book me have very similar opinions. But these two came up with a marvellous idea to ease nerves and get on with enjoying the rest of their wedding day together. A first look. Bear with me, yes it sounds very American and isn’t particularly traditional but I was more than willing to give this idea a whirl. It would take a bit of organising time wise but once its done, the rest of the day was theirs to enjoy.
