\n\t\t\tRockingham Castle wedding photography\n\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t

Not to be too Disney princess about it, but Rockingham Castle<\/a> is quite the fairytale wedding venue.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"A\n\tOnce upon a time, (1070 to be exact), William The Conqueror built it as a royal fortress. Successive Kings refortified it as fast as invaders destroyed it. Eventually, The Crown seized it from King Edward III but left it to ruin. So thank goodness Henry VIII handed it to the Watson family, who’ve lived there happily ever after.
\n<\/a>\nIt’s a whole lot more romantic now with castellated towers, lovely lawns, a rose garden instead of a keep, air con and WIFI. And the panoramic views that once revealed impending attacks, now simply supply stunning scenery.

\n<\/a>\nAnd after hundreds of years of change, there’s evidence of every era in the architecture and gardens. You literally walk through history at Rockingham.\u00a0

\n<\/a>\nOr, if you’re anything like me, you unleash the big kid in you …

\n<\/a>\nAs I’m taking photos on a wedding day, I imagine playing Quidditch in the parapets, hide and seek in the maze, bows and arrows beneath the towers, and spot the shapes in the elephantine hedge. (Ok, I only do two <\/i>of those.)

\n<\/a>\nAnd it’s those interesting features, breathtaking views, and rich history that I find so inspiring for wedding photography at Rockingham Castle.\u00a0

And I think you’ll love it too … <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"A\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Wreath\n\t\t
