Sheldon Manor Wedding - Nick & Karen
This was a very special wedding day at Sheldon Manor in Wiltshire for many reasons. Firstly, Nick is my brother in law and long time friend and I’ve got to know Karen and her family from New Zealand very well over recent years. So this was a family wedding, and I was going to be on display doing my day job in full view of everyone. Furthermore, Charlie my little boy, who’s nearly two, was to be a page boy - a first for him. So it will come as no surprise, in the build up to and during the wedding day, the pressure to perform was well and truly on.
Sheldon Manor is reported to be the oldest, inhabited manor house in the UK dating back to 800AD! Thankfully most of the buildings and grounds have been updated a little since then but the character, grandeur and romance of the place is what really hits you.
I have included in this blog post perhaps the most extensive collection of images from any wedding I have been fortunate enough to shoot. I truly hope you enjoy browsing through them all. Please be sure to play the slideshow with the music turned loud to get an even more intimate experience of Nick & Karen’s impeccably planned and executed special wedding day.
I was determined to knock this one out of the park photographically speaking; along with the added help of Sheldon Manor, an awesome wedding venue and backdrop, I planned to produce the best ever collection of images I had to date. I guess Nick, Karen and anyone reading this will rightly be the of judge that.
There is simply far too much to write about Nick & Karen’s wedding day so here’s a list of just some of the highlights; an incredibly intimate and emotional outdoor Wedding ceremony, Karen in her beautiful Ivy & Aster wedding gown from the States, Nick in his Thom Sweeney made to measure tuxedo ( incidentally they also made David Beckham’s 007 Olympic entrance tux), a wonderful vintage style marquee, fantastic grounds for guests to explore including a Gin Bar by the pool, kids having just the best fun ever and a re-incarnated gold fish!
