Winter Wedding at Northbrook Park
In the run-up to Christmas, I had the pleasure of photographing Helen and Alex’s Winter Wedding at Northbrook Park, a gorgeous country house near Farnham, in Hampshire. It’s a spectacular setting for a Winter wedding, with the Grade II listed manor house surrounded by Hampshire countryside. Alex and the groomsmen were getting ready in one of the estate’s cottages, and that’s where my coverage started. I then moved over to the manor house when Helen arrived for the final part of her preparations before the ceremony. Guests assembled in the conservatory, where some Winter sunlight brought some warmth to the proceedings. Helen walked down the aisle with her parents, and the following ceremony provided some great moments to capture.
Peacocks at a Winter Wedding
The newly-weds left the conservatory through confetti, and guests were served drinks and canapes while we took some family group photos on the lawn outside. As the light was still good, we then took a walk around the grounds for some quick couple portraits. We had the company of one of the estate’s peacocks, which escorted us half way around the garden. It was soon time to head into the wedding breakfast where guests were being seated for the speeches. I do love photographing wedding speeches as there’s always some great reactions, either form the Bride and Groom, or wedding guests.
First Dance at Northbrook Park
I set some lighting up on the dancefloor ready for the First Dance – you never know just how long a couple will dance for before inviting family and friends to join them on the dancefloor. So I need to know that even if I only have a few seconds, I can be sure of some great lighting to photograph the dance. Guests joined in and the dancefloor was soon full. I continued coverage to get a good set of party pictures to end the story. Enjoy Helen and Alex’s preview slideshow, and family and friends can pre-register here to be notified when the full set of photos is ready.
