I recently covered Becky and Edward’s wedding at All Saints Church, Sandon in Staffordshire followed by a reception at Chillington Hall.
The wedding got off to a great start when I started the day with Becky at the Moat house, Acton Trussell. The hotel is a great wedding venue in its own right but it is also very often the accommodation of choice for guests attending events at Chillington Hall. When I arrived it was clear to see that the bride was very excited about her wedding day, in fact the whole wedding party (a lot of which popped in during the preparations) were a bundle of excitement and nerves! The preparations went swimmingly and we were soon on our way to the church.
All Saints Church is a truly beautiful and wonderfully atmospheric place but it’s also one of the darkest churches I have worked in for a long time meaning Bryn and I had to work very hard to catch the natural light, which although challenging is always a pleasure to work with as I find it can enhance emotional scenes so well.
Dodging rain showers we all arrived safely at Chillington Hall but soon after our arrival the Heavens opened causing all of the guests and the group photos to remain inside. We did manage to find a long enough dry spell to venture down to the lake though. For anyone who knows Chillington but has not been down to the lake you have missed a treat. It does take a while to get there but once you arrive you are treated to some great views and buildings with plenty of photograph opportunities.
We stayed with Becky and Edward right into the evening and we were treated to a first dance lit by sparklers!
I hope you enjoy the selection of images below which were some of my favourites from the day.
