Heena and Adam were married at Highclere Castle in an emotional ceremony. The weather was kind to them and they gave me lots of time to get some of our signature photographs for them both. Their first dance was a fantastic fusion between Blowers Daughter by Damian Rice and Jai Ho from the film Slumdog Millionaire, which certaintly kept their guests entertained!
About Highclere Castle
Highclere Castle is best known as the real-life setting of Downton Abbey, but long before television crews arrived it was already one of England’s most dramatic country houses. The Jacobean-style mansion was redesigned in the 1840s by Sir Charles Barry — the architect of the Houses of Parliament — and sits in 1,000 acres of Capability Brown parkland on the Hampshire–Berkshire border.
Couple portraits at a castle reward a slightly slower pace. I usually pull the couple away from the guests for twenty or thirty minutes in the early evening to explore the grounds — courtyards, battlements, any stretch of wall that catches the light — while the drinks reception flows on without them.
