Horwood House Wedding Photography - Jacqui and Louie
A country house hotel wedding near Milton Keynes
“The photographs are stunning and we can’t wait to share them with our family and friends!”
It was great to photograph Jacqui and Louie’s wedding in July 2021.
Like so many couples, Jacqui and Louie had to re-arrange their wedding from 2020 due to the pandemic, and, as we did with all our couples in similar situations, we worked proactively with them and their venue to find a new date in 2021. Their wedding took place at Horwood House Hotel, a lovely country house hotel between Buckingham and Milton Keynes. This was a new venue to us to photograph at. For this reason, Steve met the couple several months beforehand for a pre-wedding shoot at the venue to check out the lighting, places for portraits, and to talk through some basic posing ideas with both Jacqui and Louie.
On the day, Samantha started her day with Jacqui at the hotel for her bridal preparation, whilst Steve went to their home in Aylesbury to start with Louie. One of the grooms friends owns a Ferrari, and this was used to transport Louie to the venue; the groomsmen’s dressed Louie up as an Arab Sheik for the journey!
The ceremony took place in one of the hotel’s main function rooms, with drinks, canapés and group photos all taking place outside on the hotel lawn.
We took the couple around the hotel grounds for some portraits, before their wedding breakfast, the highlight of which was a surprise appearance by The Undercover Waiters, who gave a great 30 minute set before the speeches.
After dinner, we had a short walk outside with the couple to capture some nice evening light, before heading back for their first dance.
Restrictions at the time meant that limited dancing was allowed, but everyone still made sure the party went with a full swing.
