Chrissie & Steve's Wedding - Hever Castle, Edenbridge
I always love returning to Hever Castle to shoot a wedding! Chrissie and Steve chose Hever Castle because Chrissie loves Tudor history and fell in love with the castle when she visited it as a child. So it had been a lifelong dream to get married there (though she says she never dreamed it would happen!) When she took Steve there after their engagement he was taken with it too so was only too happy to allow Chrissie to fulfil her childhood dream.
Chrissie and Steve were married in the Astor Wing which is a series of beautiful Tudor style buildings joined to Hever Castle offering magnificent oak paneling, ornate fireplaces, antique furnishings and an eclectic art collection.
Chrissie looked amazing in her dress and created the flowers herself (what a talented bride!)
After a lovely ceremony guests enjoyed a drinks reception on the beautiful croquet lawn whilst I quickly whisked them away to take some gorgeous portraits shots around the magnificent grounds and gardens of the castle. I knew the rose garden was going to look amazing, but WOW! It really was a photographers dream. We also wondered down to The Loggia by the Italian Lake, it was all just so beautiful!
The reception started with Chrissie and Steve arriving to rapturous applause and everybody kept in high spirits for some very well received speeches. The wedding cake looked and smelt delicious and was every choco-holics dream!
Evening entertainment started with a very romantic first dance that by the end saw Chrissie and Steve joined on the dancefloor by family and friends.
Massive congratulations to Chrissie and Steve for getting married and creating such a memorable wedding day x
Here’s what Chrissie had to say;
“Helen came highly recommended to us, and her experience at/knowledge of our venue was highly appealing too. Upon meeting Helen we really liked her smiley happy persona. Helen was accommodating meeting us in her own evening time (out of hours), and had her full range of beautifully arranged albums on display to show us. We were inspired by her bubbly enthusiasm and her passion. Our wedding photos are truly stunning, as we can't thank her enough for capturing amazing memories for us!”
