Lucy & Edward’s Cain Manor Wedding | Hampshire Real Wedding

On the morning I headed to Lucy’s parents’ house in Bisley, where she was getting ready with her bridal party. Lucy was in good spirits and safe hands with her girls around her. These guys were really fun, I loved the co-ordinated robes ladies. And there was some medicinal bubbly on hand to calm any last-minute nerves. I love a fun bridal party as it really sets the tone for a fun wedding day.

Lucy looked amazing in her dress that had a sweetheart neckline and a dreamy a line shape skirt that gave her a fairytale bride look. Bridesmaids wore elegant lavender dresses and young Edie made a very cute flower girl. I got some fantastic images of Lucy, her bridal party and her parents before we left for the ceremony.

The wedding ceremony was held at nearby St John’s the Baptist Church in Bisley with Lucy arriving in style in a vintage Rolls Royce. I got there early and caught up with Edward and got some great images of him and his grooms party outside the church. They all looked very smart in tails suits with pink ties. St John’s the Baptist Church is a pretty Grade II listed church in the Surrey village of Bisley and is just perfect for a traditional wedding ceremony.

Afterwards, there was a chance to capture some lovely images of the wedding party by the church’s ancient porch before guests lined the pretty walkway to the church to congratulate Lucy and Edward as they left for their reception at Cain Manor.

Great, now I get to talk more about why I always love returning to shoot wedding photography at Cain Manor. This gorgeous barn style country house wedding venue sits in pretty woodland on the Surrey and Hampshire borders. Oozing with rustic charm and quirky character, its beautiful period details of old oak floors and wooden beams are perfectly blended with every modern luxury you would expect from a premier wedding venue.

On arrival Lucy, Edward and their guests made the most of the sunshine by enjoying a drinks reception in Cain Manor’s gorgeous courtyard and gardens, and as guests happily mingled, played giant jenga and chess, I took my chance to whisk Lucy and Edward away for a few minutes for a mini portrait session around the beautiful gardens, grounds and interiors of Cain Manor. And I captured some of my favourite images of the day.

The wedding reception started with some fantastically well received speeches from Lucy’s dad Mike, Edward and best man Rob, Ed’s brother. After a delicious wedding breakfast many of Lucy and Edward’s guests spilled back outside to enjoy the last of the day’s sunshine, and I took Lucy and Edward for another mini portrait photoshoot, making the most of the low sunshine to create really romantic images of them.

Evening celebrations started with an intimate first dance but Lucy and Edward weren’t alone on the dancefloor for long. Their guests were up for a party and it wasn’t long before they were bringing their best moves!

After the sun went down, I quickly whisked Lucy and Edward outside to get a twilight shot in the garden veranda. It was worth the effort as it gave me my favourite image of the day and the perfect image to close the story of Lucy and Edward’s wedding.

I loved capturing Lucy and Edward’s day. A fun and laid-back wedding full of love and laughter. I’ll leave the last words to them. Here’s what they had to say about working with me.
