Longstowe Hall Wedding Photography – Hannah and Jordan

Hannah and Jordan got married at Longstowe Hall at the end of May last year. I’ve been to Longstowe a few times but I’m yet to time my visits with the blooming of the out of this world wysteria that grows outside the Orangery – I’m pretty sure I’ve missed it by a week every time! Anyway, this was a beautiful day despite the lack of purple flowers and the spring greenery tied in perfectly with Hannah and Jordan’s green and cream themed day. They had an outdoor ceremony on the little island, such a lovely little spot to get married. I love the long aisle and that the couple walk together across the bridge at the end of it. Outdoor ceremonies always give me extra vantage points as a photographer which is great although at Longstowe I’m always paranoid I’m going to end up in the lake!

I was working with the wonderful Dave – Love me do wedding films (who I always highly recommend if you are looking for a videographer) Family and Group photos took place in front of the house beside the herbaceous borders which always look incredible (I definitely have herbaceous border envy!) then we made use of the rose gardens for wedding party portraits and to find a few still blooming trails of wisteria round the side of the house. A wedding at Longstowe wouldn’t be complete without the shot from across the water so it was a quick dash round to the other side to make sure we nailed that before dinner.

Hannah and Jordan had booked some singing waiters as a surprise to entertain their guests after speeches so we pretty much moved straight from speeches into everybody singing and dancing on the dance floor! We were gifted the most perfect light to end the day so Dave and I took the couple for a little evening stroll before their first dance.

Jane was so relaxed on the day, blended in and took the most amazing pictures. In the lead up to the day I was really nervous about the possibility of rain and it was Jane’s calm advice and talk with me that more than anything helped me to relax about the whole thing.
