Sarah & Richard – Ardencote Manor Wedding, Warwickshire

Sarah & Richard, Ardencote Manor Wedding, Warwickshire

This was a really special day for me, as well as Sarah & Richard. This lovely couple had actually won my services in my very first wedding fair at Ragley Hall. I ran a competition, in which 100 people entered and luckily these two were picked out the hat, and I couldn’t be more pleased! It was also my first outdoor wedding!

The day started photographing Sarah getting ready with her girls at her house in Redditch. It was an extremely fun morning, filled with laughter and champagne and a rather hilarious moment when Sarah realised she had put the ‘I do’ stickers on the wrong way round, so her shoes actually said ‘Do I’! Richard’s parents house is just done the road, so after a short walk I turned up just in time to show the boys how to sort their ties!

Once all the preparations were done to both the bridal and grooms party we travelled to the stunning Ardencote Manor. This is one of my favourite venues in Warwickshire, they really do go above and beyond. The ceremony was outside by the lake, with the blossom from the tress acting like confetti during the entire ceremony. The rest of the day passed quickly and with so much love and laughter. This was a couple I wish I could spend another day with, and thankfully, some friends of theirs have booked me for a wedding this November, so I get to see them again!

I hope you enjoy this small selection of photographs as much as the person taking them, and the people in them did x

“Hi Charlotte, I don’t like the photographs, I love them! I can’t stop looking at them, you’ve captured everything so when we look through the book it’s like reliving the day.

Thank you so much, Sarah” Sarah, 23rd May 2014
