Aynhoe Park Wedding Photography-Jessica and Micky

 

A winter wedding in a wonderland venue

Aynhoe Park has to be the most unusual wedding venue we have photographed at in 7 years of wedding photography. Aynhoe Park is a listed 17th century country house between Bicester, Brackley and Banbury, and is an exclusive wedding venue which has hosted a number of celebrity weddings. Whilst on the outside, Ayhnoe Park looks like a normal classic English country house, inside it is anything but. Each room is remarkable in a different way; a library with stuffed animals and a dodo skeleton is an example. Tin Tin (the Belgian cartoon character) standing next to a rocket ship was another highlight. And the orangery, where Jessica and Micky were married was a delight to photograph in, with light pouring in from the many windows. But enough on the venue! Jessica and Micky's wedding was a delight to photograph. Both of them come from a theatrical background and were great fun, as were their guests who had travelled from the four corners of the UK. The many rooms of Aynhoe Park gave both Samantha and I plenty of opportunity to wonder around looking for candid and special moments. After dinner, everyone returned to the disco light lit orangery for the speeches and for the partying, which as usual we started for the first hour of. All in all a wonderful couple and an amazing location, thanks so much Jessica and Micky for letting us capture it for you in photos.

Fawsley Hall Wedding-Kelly and Joseph

Northamptonshire country house wedding

Kelly and Joseph's wedding at Fawsley Hall, Northamptonshire was the first time we have photographed at this lovely venue, and we are already looking forward to the next! As documentary wedding photographers, we love working at dedicated wedding venues like Fawsley Hall, which was looking resplendent inside and out on this lovely August day. We met Kelly and Joseph a couple of years previously, and they were very clear as to their requirements, one of which was not lots of formal group shots. We of course heartily agreed. Both Kelly and Joseph are musicians, with Joseph at the time having to work away a fair amount. Presumably, their musical connections did help in having a harpist came to play during the entry into the ceremony room, and very lovely the music was too. Their beautiful daughter melted hearts as their as a flower girl, and the speeches were both funny and well delivered. Add in a great disco party and a great time was had by all, which you will be able to get the spirit of from the photos below.

Stratton Court Barn Wedding; Jemma and David

A rustic barn wedding near Bicester, Oxfordshire

Jemma and David's wedding in May 2016 was at Stratton Court Barn, near Bicester and was the second time we had photographed there. Built in 1872, Stratton Court Barn is a lovely rural wedding location, close to the M40 and A43, but is still quiet and peaceful. Its also another venue where the wedding is the only event being held on the day, which means the bride, groom and guests have it all to themselves. We also helps us work in our preferred, un-obstrusive and informal way as documentary wedding photographers.   Jemma and David's wedding was a delight to photograph. We have never seen a bride so happy, and laugh as much as Jemma did! She made sure she thoroughly enjoyed her wedding day, and, when all is said and done, surely that's what the day is all about. 

We were delighted to receive some lovely feedback from Jemma and David which you can read on our testimonial page here:
