Wedding Shoot at The Wootton Hall Estate, Lincolnshire
Nestled in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside, Wootton Hall is the epitome of luxury and elegance. Surrounded by private gardens, a stunning golf course, and complete seclusion, this breathtaking country house offers the perfect blend of grandeur and warmth. The grandeur of a private estate with the warmth of a home. The beauty of Wootton Hall is that it offers endless possibilities for your special dayāallowing you to design a celebration thatās truly you. Whether you dream of a classic hall wedding, a romantic outdoor ceremony with views of the main house or walled gardens, or even a barn wedding, this venue lets you craft the ideal backdrop for your perfect day.
I had the absolute pleasure of spending a day at Wootton Hall for a styled shoot with the amazing Phoebe and Jim and got to capture their love within the walls and grounds of this breathtaking venue, along with inspiration for colourful pastel florals, and a modern, yet timeless backdrop.
Morning Prep
We began in one of the luxurious bedroomsāa serene space, ideal for the morning preparations. When choosing a spot to get ready, natural daylight is key. Your makeup artist will thank you for it, and youāll definitely want to see your look in natural light before the big moment! Itās also important to have enough space for everyone whoāll be there with youānothing should feel cramped, especially on such a significant day. Ensure thereās room for drinks (trust me, youāll need them!) and some snacks (definitely try to have a snack in the morning). And one last tip: keep things tidy. Youāll want your photos to be filled with beauty, not random bags, suitcases, or crumpled PJs in the background!
Photographing Jim in another of Wootton Hallās stunning rooms offered the perfect space for him to relax and enjoy a quiet moment. The beauty of this venue is that there are plenty of areas for both partners to get ready, unwind, and feel comfortable before the celebrations begin. Whether itās a place to have a drink, steal a few moments of calm, or get portraits taken, Wootton Hall makes sure both of the people getting married equally have space to truly enjoy the morning.
Wedding Florals
The florals from The Bunch Studio (https://www.bunchstudio.co.uk/) added so much magic to the venue, transforming it into the ideal setting for an intimate wedding day. Soft pastel hues of peaches, pinks, whites, and greens adorned the tables, creating a romantic atmosphere perfect for a spring wedding. The florals beautifully complemented the pink stationery from Smitten With Ink (https://www.smittenwithink.co.uk/), which brought a touch of whimsy to the dayās design. A small yet impactful detailāfruit incorporated into the table dĆ©corāadded a fresh, fun twist, and tied everything together with the weddingās colour palette.
Dessert Tables
One of my favourite touches was the dessert table. Instead of a single wedding cake, there was a display of delectable sweet treats. I absolutely love this idea! Itās a wonderful way to give your guests options and create an eye-catching display that also adds an extra layer of aesthetic beauty to the day. Plus, who doesnāt love a little variety when it comes to dessert?
The Backdrop
The backdrop! When modern, minimalist and romantic combine THIS is what you can get! I am obsessed with this backdrop. So simple, yet so effective. Backdrops are such a huge trend right now, and I hope they stick around for a while. With so many different shapes, materials, textures and colours. You can use a backdrop to elevate any part of your day. With Phoebe and Jim, this simple white block backdrop acted as a stage for them to be the main characters of a day. And they absolutely smashed it! Timeless, and elegant!
This shoot was so wonderful to be a part of. Capturing beautiful details, in a luxurious venue, with a couple who absolutely adore one another. And working with some of the industries best wedding suppliers! It does not get better than that!
