An English Country House Wedding at Ettington Park

Nestled in the Warwickshire countryside, Ettington Park is one of the finest country-house wedding venues in the country. It's a genuine architectural marvel built in the Neo Gothic style which flourished in Victorian England. Built between 1858 and 1862 it now serves as a hotel and luxury wedding venue.

Selected Wedding Highlights

A welcoming, intimate wedding

This intimate wedding welcomed guests from across the world and had a warm, relaxed, informal feel. I love photographing weddings where the focus is on the bride and groom (and everyone else!) simply having a good time and being in the moment.

After a beautiful ceremony in the rose garden, we enjoyed a photoshoot as we strolled in the manor's expansive grounds. They feature the ruins of a chapel, beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, and plenty of amazing opportunities for beautiful imagery.

Sunset French Riviera Proposal - with a Rainbow

21 March 2025

I just had to share these photos of a surprise proposal on Cap Ferrat on a day when, literally until the last minute, it was raining heavily. As the couple made their way down the winding path with their umbrella up, my camera bag sealed shut inside a waterproof bag, it was a bizarre situation to find myself in; photographing a proposal in such awful conditions. The couple had travelled half way around this world to be here, I'd been in communication with the client for months, and it was all leading up to this moment: it was their last night here and rain or shine it was now or never to pop the question. Then something amazing happened; both rain and shine at once. The sun was so low in the sky it suddenly shot through underneath the clouds and hit the grey landscape - lighting it perfectly. Despite being dragged out in such awful conditions, the proposal itself was a complete surprise and led to some amazing imagery. And then yes, during a photoshoot about 10 minutes later a rainbow appeared and the complete reversal of fortunes was complete. I was so excited for them and full of admiration on his insistence that it WAS going to happen, come what May - and what a reward; I'll probably never see anything like it again.
