I’m lucky enough to photograph many weddings at Irnham Hall, and it remains one of my favourites. Leila & Jamie take great care and effort in delivering an outstanding service whilst ensuring your wedding day runs smoothly and stress free
I arrived bright and early to greet Daisy & her bridal party in the Irnham cottages. From the moment I arrived there was a real buzz of excitement in the air. Amazingly, most of the girls already had hair and make up complete, a rare sight indeed.
It’s always worth allowing extra time to get ready; the last thing you need to be doing is scrambling around five minutes before the ceremony still in your pj’s.
Daisy looked simply stunning. Her wedding gown was just the most perfect choice and her bouquet finished off her classy, timeless look.
After a touching grand reveal with her father we were all set for the ceremony in the Orangery.
Wet weather expectations
The rain was beating down, which can make things a little tricky, but it’s always best to embrace the rain instead of letting it get you down. Some of the funniest and most striking images I’ve ever taken happen in the rain, so just go with it, and that’s exactly what Daisy did.
As anticipated, the ceremony was full of joy, laughter and love. Everyone braved the elements with brollies at the ready as we captured the signature Irnham group photo on the way down to the main reception.
I thoroughly enjoyed capturing the personalities and characters at this wedding. As the night wore on, the decibels intensified and by the time the speeches came around the atmosphere was electric.
I noticed a break in the weather so we sneaked out to capture the beautiful purple and mauve hues in the sky as day gave way to night.
Before we knew it, the music was on, the party was rocking and the dance moves were popping, what an after party!
We took a ten minute breather from the carnage inside to reflect and have quiet moment under the night sky to capture some evening portraits, always a must in my eyes.
Daisy & Ash it was a pleasure to be a part of you fantastic wedding.
So over lockdown I had a long list of jobs I wanted to get stuck into. I had every intention of working my way through them all and being super up-to-date with my admin. Turns out it’s now September and I’ve not made much headway, as looking after a toddler is pretty time consuming!
Blogging was top of the list, something I hardly ever find time to do due the editing backlog. I’m going to try to and start as I mean to go on; try….
What a wedding
I’d thought I’d start with one of my favourite venues Irnham Hall and one of the loveliest couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with; Jade & Rob.
We clicked instantly at their engagement shoot, which was so much fun. They told me all about their plans for the wedding day and with the amount of meticulous planning going into it, I just knew it was going to be a cracker.
Love & friendship
Straight from the get go the vibe was perfect. Smiles and banter in the morning with the bridal party, beautiful light and surroundings to play with in and around the Irnhall Hall bridal suite. A church service like no other, you could just feel the love and friendship of the families coming together. A venue beautifully dressed with a unique feel.
It was clear to see Jade and Rob have a special bond and this shone through in their images. Everything was effortless; the romance, the fun, just an all round superb wedding.
It’s always a highlight of mine but seeing the look of excitement on their faces as they raced through the fields at dusk is what I do this job for… In that moment they were totally carefree and just being a couple in love.
I remember this wedding day for all the right reasons – an awesome bride and groom, gorgeous weather and a fantastic venue.
I arrived at Irnham Hall bright and early on a beautiful spring day. Niki was full of excitement and she had a beaming smile on her face throughout her bridal prep. Niki and her bridesmaids all looked stunning in their dresses and within no time they were wedding ready. Just before we were due to leave for church the heavens opened which added to the drama. Thankfully, just as we turned up at ….. church the rain had passed and Niki, after a quick snack on some Pringles, was ready to get married. It was a lovely service with some really heartfelt moments. Andrew was in fine form and really looked the part.
Back at Irnham hall everyone mingled in the supurb walled garden grounds, this venue really does lend itself to a relaxed informal setting. The forecast was sunshine and showers, which created some dramatic lighting. I was keen to capture as much as I could for Niki and Andrew and they happily obliged to nip out for more photos. After some great speeches and fantastic food, the evening entertainment was underway; everyone got involved in right old sing-song. The light on many occasions was just perfect but none more so than around sunset time. We took a short drive up the hill so I could get a nice backdrop across Corby glen. It was magic, we spent 15 minutes with a glorious sunset before we headed back to continue the party long into the night.
