Burghley House Wedding in the Summer House
There are days like this one when I have to pinch myself, being a wedding photographer is just too good to be true. I feel extremely fortunate to earn my living in this way, meeting and spending time with many wonderful people. Burghley House recommend me to their wedding couples; I’ve photographed at Burghley a number of times and the affirmation by such a prestigious country home is something I deeply proud of.
Steve & Carrie’s dream wedding ceremony was held in the Summer House at Burghley House in the outstanding private estate grounds. This truly was the highest quality example of quintessential English countryside on a hot summer afternoon you are ever likely to see.
The summer house is hidden from view; public visitors to Burghley have no access. This makes it even an more special place; the sense of privilege to be in the grounds of such an historic estate home leaves you wanting to enjoy and soak up every second.
Steve and Carrie commissioned me to photograph their entire wedding day. Around 11 hours of photography coverage and as with so many brides, Carrie was especially determined their meticulously planned Burghley House wedding would be presented in a lovely storybook wedding album.

The idea for this photograph had been ignited many months before when I first met with Carrie. Growing up in the fenland countryside I knew it would harvest time, or very close to it. Some months later everything fell into place; after a little walk around I found the perfect location and we shot a series of images using the corn fields over which their house looks
Thank you Carrie & Steve it was a tremendous privilege to be with you on perhaps one of the hottest days of 2014!
