Kelmarsh Hall wedding photography | Tim & Vicky
Winter weddings, with the cold and their low light, are a real challenge but we love them. Tim and Vicky’s elegant vintage style wedding was no exception.
One of my favourite moments of the day is seeing and photographing the Bride’s dress. Vicky’s was lace and a stunning shade which really suited her colouring. And of course the shoes. Of which Vicky had two pairs; one for the day and another more glittering pair of Jimmy Choos for the evening. Love love love.
The moments just before the Bride arrive are fleeting but there’s so much nervous anticipation, lip gloss checking and button-hole straightening to capture…
One of my favourite photos to capture (Vicar allowing) is the Groom as the Bride walks down the aisle. This one of Tim as everyone turns to see Vicky entering is one of my favourites…
Two very different points of view in the church: wide atmospheric photos at the back and intimacy at the front…
So full of smiles as they leave church…
The reception was at Kelmarsh Hall; one of our favourite venues for wedding photography in Northampton …
The thing I love most about winter is the cold but bright sunny days; which is just the kind of day that Tim and Vicky had for their December wedding. I must have been grinning like the Cheshire Cat with the beautiful, golden, setting sunlight that we had during the Bride and Groom photo session. Even bare winter gardens can look amazing!
The staircase is iconic Kelmarsh and photos here are a must (well, I think so anyway!). Lately I’ve been really inspired by the swirls of the rails and reflections in the mirror.
The Great Hall looked really pretty decorated for Christmas and made a beautifully cosy setting for the drinks reception. The very talented Paul Martyn sang and played sax. And there was a vintage typewriter for guests to type messages for the couple as an alternative to a guest book.
It was just a bit too cold to be outside for the family photos but the Saloon makes a really elegant backdrop.
There was a very festive, magical feel in the Great Hall as night fell and the speeches were made. The front of the fireplace with logs crackling was the perfect spot for a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
Then it was into the Ballroom for a vintage style English afternoon tea. The table plan was particularly unusual being a row of mismatched ornate gold frames, draped with beads. The table numbers followed the same style. Absolutely loved that idea.
Delicate pearls and buttons on the tables…
Cake stand centre-pieces with green & cream flowers and lots of dainty (and very yummy looking) cakes…
Everything was served on mismatched vintage china…
And the cake was made by a friend of the family…
Paul Martyn got the party started in style. I really look forward to weddings where Paul is singing; he creates such a great atmosphere…
