Date – 25th May 2025
Ceremony and Reception Venue – Hanbury Manor (Poles Hall)
Bride – Ellen
Groom – Max
Ellen and Max celebrated their big day in the exquisite Poles Hall at Hanbury Manor. Both Ellen and Max got ready at the venue, allowing me to seamlessly transition between them whilst they got ready. The day was perfect with sunny weather complemented by a gentle cool breeze.
Following a heartfelt and intimate ceremony we gathered in the Courtyard. This is a picturesque location adorned with shade, perfect for capturing stunning photographs. After a confetti shot and the family pics we made our way to the front of The Mansion House. This is a lovely spot and one that I always like to use. I captured some wonderful moments with the bride and groom who were shortly joined by their best man and bridesmaids.
It was now time to head in for the wedding breakfast and speeches. The speeches were great, Max’s was amazing; being a senior Dr he was clearly used to public speaking. We then embarked on a golf buggy ride to the golf course for some dramatic sunset shots. After about 15 minutes of basking in the beautiful light with Ellen and Max we returned for the cake cutting and first dance.
Jonathan from Coral and Blue, who served as both MC and DJ, took over for the evening festivities. Following a beautiful first dance, the celebration transitioned into an energetic party. Ellen and Max chose my Standard Package, which includes plenty of dancing photographs—definitely a highlight of this event! The dance floor was the most vibrant I have witnessed in my last 20 weddings.
