As a professional photographer who knows The Mansion at Coldeast well, I’m pleased to say that you’ve made a great choice for your wedding venue. The wealth of backdrops it offers mean I can create especially beautiful images on your wedding day.

For example, the lawn behind the Mansion is perfect for your confetti throw, while the adjacent walled garden is ideal for your formal family photographs. And the Orangery is the perfect backdrop for indoor portraits if it rains.

Let me tell you about how your day will unfold here, and why I’d be a great choice to chronicle it for you in beautiful photographs.

How your wedding unfolds in photos

Your wedding day starts with having your hair and make-up done in the Mansion’s spacious bedrooms. I’ll join you there, taking candid shots discretely while your stylists enhance your natural beauty. This is when I also take detail shots of your shoes, jewellery, dress and wedding stationery. If your partner and his friends are also getting ready at the Mansion, I can capture their preparations, too.

Wedding ceremonies takes place in the Orangery; it’s licensed for ceeremonies with up to 66 guests. Your stylists can decorate it with flowers, arches and more to make your ceremony truly reflect who you are as a couple.

After your confetti throw, drinks and canapés follow outside, or in the bar if wet, while the Orangery is prepared for your wedding breakfast. At this point, I’ll take candid photos of you and your guests relaxing and socialising, as well as your formal group photos.

Following your wedding breakfast, I return to photograph the smiles, tears and laughter evoked by your speeches. Then I’ll whisk the two of you away for a few minutes to capture romantic portraits of just the two of you that you’ll treasure. 

After you’ve cut your cake, it’s time for your first dance. Which song means most to you? I click away through these set-pieces to ensure I capture all the meaningful moments, and continue as you and your guests enjoy yourself beneath the disco lights. At a suitable moment, I say my goodbyes to you, leaving you to enjoy the rest of your evening.

Within a month, you’ll receive a beautiful gallery of photographs from me that will bring golden memories flooding back for years to come of your wedding day.

Why choose me

With a portfolio of beautiful images, features in blogs and magazines and five years of wedding photography experience, my abiity to take photographs you'll love is a given. Glowing reviews from past clients often mention how easy I am to get on with and full-day coverage starts from just £995.

My business is built on three guiding principles that, I hope, resonate with you. 

You're the hero

Your wedding is all about you, your family and friends, not me. I'm there to serve you by chronicling your day in beautiful photographs without being intrusive or imposing my will on you. So for example, if you decide you'd rather stay talking to your friends rather than coming outside with for romantic portraits of the two of you, I'll respect your choice. 

Keep it simple

Organising your wedding is probably going to be stressful at times, so I make everything to do with photography as simple for you as I can. You can pay online and make all your arrangements with me by email if you wish – and if you have a question at any point, you're always welcome to contact me.

This matters

In a small way, I hope my photos of your wedding help to cement your marriage. By looking back at them in the current years, they'll bring the memories flooding back, and help you to remember your special day, all the people who supported you and what first drew you both together. That's why I take my responsibilities as seriously as you have a right to expect.
