I had the immense pleasure and privilege of being chosen as the Stubton Hall wedding photographer for Amelia and Tom's extraordinary autumn wedding at the breathtaking Stubton Hall in Lincolnshire. Having photographed at this venue many times I am still struck by the venue's awe-inspiring architecture and the picturesque surroundings that envelopes it. The stage was set for an unforgettable day, and as always I was determined to capture as many moments, and as much emotion as I could through my lens, ensuring that Amelia and Tom's love story would be preserved for years to come.

As the day began, my focus was drawn to the intricate details that made up Amelia's exquisite lace wedding gown and Tom's impeccably tailored three-piece suit. Capturing the details is really important to ensure that the love, care and craftsmanship that has gone into them are forever memorialised.

With the arrival of the guests, the atmosphere is always charged with anticipation and excitement and is the time when I turn my attention to capturing the genuine emotions and interactions that unfolded before me. The guests eagerly awaiting the start of the ceremony, exchanged laughter, warm embraces, and heartfelt conversations. It was a testament to the love and support that surrounded Amelia and Tom on their special day. These moments are always a privilege to capture and it's my mission to document these candid moments, allowing their authentic joy and connection to shine through in each photograph.

As Amelia walked down the aisle, radiating beauty and grace, the room fell silent. Tom's eyes gleamed with adoration as he watched his Amelia approach unable to contain the emotion of the day. The exchanging of vows and rings is always a tender and emotional moment at every wedding I witness, where the promises are made and hearts were united. Watching them share their first kiss as husband and wife was a magical moment, and I was honoured to have witnessed and captured it all.

Following the ceremony, the celebration moved to the venue's breathtaking gardens for the drinks reception. The guests, mingling and chatting, exuded an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie. This is the time where I attempt to seamlessly blended into the background, photographing the genuine smiles, heartfelt conversations, and bursts of laughter that fill the air. The beauty of the natural surroundings, with its vibrant colors and serene lake, provided a stunning backdrop for capturing these precious moments. From the clinking of glasses to the indulgence in delectable canapés, each image told a story of love, friendship, and celebration.

As the day progressed into the wedding breakfast and evening reception the venue began to fill with more invited guests. The speeches were filled with heartfelt words, bringing tears of joy and laughter to the guests' faces. The dance floor soon beckoned, and the guests soon embraced the rhythm, immersing themselves in the music from the band with every twirl, dip, and laugh encapsulating the spirit of the celebration.

As I reflect on that autumn day , I am reminded of the immense privilege and responsibility that comes with being their chosen Stubton Hall wedding photographer. It is an art form that goes beyond capturing mere images; it is about preserving memories, encapsulating emotions, and immortalising moments that are so fleeting yet so profound. Amelia and Tom's wedding day was a testament to the power of love and the beauty of human connection, and I am humbled to have been a part of it.

Amelia and Tom, thank you for allowing me to be a witness to your love story. It was an honour and a privilege to capture the essence of your special day.
