Highley Manor is an absolute babe of a venue! And Andrina & Nick were a babe of a couple too. Arriving in the morning I was able to get some scene setting shots of the majestic staircase, the dining room and that iconic gazebo that Highley Manor is known for.
Bridal prep and dress shots were away from the entrance to the main house, round the corner in ‘The Getting Ready Room’. Andrina’s girls made up the bridal party along with her best friend, all looking stunning.
Nick and best man Ant turned up for some chilled time together before the nerves start kicking in before a beautiful service. It’s always a risk, even in the British summer for an outside ceremony, but they say the sun shines on the righteous, it’s either A&N that claim that…..or me 😉
Some hugs, kisses, champagne clinks and formal snaps later, it was candids time for me while the newly weds hung out with their guests.
We took a bit of time before the wedding breakfast to go for a little stroll through the lit wooded area and the cool Highly Manor swing that had had so much attention from the kids earlier in the afternoon. The entire grounds are just a haven for photos.
The staff offered 5 star service throughout the meal (I can attest to the food being absolute first rate!!) before some emotional speeches and a proper lump in the throat tribute to Nick’s Mum who had passed away only a week before the wedding.
We used the stunning stair case and gazebo for a few more couple portraits (check out Andrina’s Dunks) while the team got the dance floor ready and the sun started to set.
The beautiful handmade cake was cut and followed by first dance and an absolutely rammed dancefloor through to a tear jerking briede and father dance before everyone cutting shapes again for the rest of the night.
Huge congrats Mr & Mrs Wallwork. Check out their full day here ✌️
