We have just returned from a very sunny Leicestershire where we photographed the wedding of Alex and Emma at Stapleford Park. This was such a fun wedding not least because we photographed the Best Man, Mark’s own wedding to Dawn at the Tower of London just one month ago and it was lovely to see some friendly faces!
Emma looked beautiful in her Caroline Castigliano dress. Her Father collected her from her suite to go to the ceremony.
The ceremony took place in the Orangery at Stapleford Park and once it had been cleared we made use of the gorgeous natural light to show off Emma’s dress.
Alex and Emma only had eyes for each other after the ceremony. Even the breeze trying to take Emma’s veil didn’t stop her smiling!
Alex and Emma’s friend, Phil, from Colorado provided the amazing entertainment in the evening. We have rarely seen so many people up on the dance floor as we did last night. Their first dance, sung by Phil was “The Blowers Daughter” by Damien Rice.
We hope Alex and Emma have a fantastic honeymoon in Mauritius and a great life together!
About Stapleford Park
Stapleford Park is a country house wedding venue in the best English tradition — grand reception rooms, formal gardens and the kind of gravel-drive approach that sets the tone from the moment guests arrive. Couples typically use the main state rooms for the ceremony and dinner, with the grounds opening up space for portraits and evening drinks.
The scale of a venue like this means I can move through the day without ever feeling rushed or on top of the guests. Wide reception rooms, long corridors and the grounds outside give me space to work both close and at distance — which is how you end up with an album that has real variety in it.
