LISA & LEE: A HARDWICKE MANOR HOTEL WEDDING

REAL WEDDINGS

First impressions really do count for everything and when Lisa and Lee viewed Hardwicke Manor Hotel as a potential venue for their wedding, they knew that they had found the perfect location. A classic grade II listed building in a splendid rural setting, complete with stunning grounds and established woodland, Hardwicke Manor Hotel played host to the couples most memorable day of their lives. In addition to finding the right venue, finding the right photographer was also key to making their dream wedding day come true. 

 

In anticipation for the ceremony, the guests were greeted and seated, ready for the impending arrival of the bride-to-be as she walked down the aisle arm in arm with her dad who looked so proud. Ready for the beautiful bride. Lisa wore an exquisite, white a-line gown with delicate lace detail and sweetheart neckline, carrying a handtied posy with subtle hues of pinks and whites, while the groom Lee chose a debonair, dark grey three-piece suit paired with a dusky pink tie, pocket square and a pink rose button hole to complete the look. The couple said their I do’s in a beautifully dressed ‘golden room’ decorated with rich, opulent window drapes and sparkling chandeliers. While the chairs swathed in soft pink chiffon added an elegance like no other, the large martini glass vase centrepieces were filled with fresh flowers in their chosen colour palette of pink and white. With an abundance of knowledge in the photography industry and understanding the importance of creating a bespoke and unstructured service, Lisa and Lee knew not to look any further than Wedding Photographer and Videographer, CARRO Studio. 

 

Throughout the day, CARRO Studio took full advantage of the idyllic surroundings and captured an array of spectacular images, embracing moments shared with loved ones. Photographing true moments in time, that in time would spark beautiful memories of such a wonderful day.
