A Spring Inglewood Manor wedding is so delightful with the daffodils here. So wonderful to be back at Inglewood Manor again.
A Previous Spring wedding was amazing and this one was no exception. The sun was shining perfectly for the outdoor ceremony on the terrace.
Final Preps Before Outdoor Ceremony
Final preparations were captured by Sandy whilst Dave captured some shots of the groom and his best men before the ceremony along with the arriving guests.
The sunshine had everyone in good spirits and it was too long for the ceremony to begin.
Soon it was time to descend the stairs and make way to the ceremony
Carys was walked down by the two Dads in her life to her waiting Groom, Dom at the other end.
Spring Outdoor Inglewood Manor Wedding Ceremony
Loved this little smile on Cays’s face, the joyful anticipation of getting married to her soul mate.
The Ceremony was beautiful with so many joyful expressions and touching moments.
Post-Ceremony Celebrations and Portraits
Plenty of time for mingling and having photos
Furbaby Scotch was an important part of the day – he was so happy to see his Mum and Dad! and enjoyed his walk in the woods
More dogs at weddings please!
We left our couple to enjoy their wedding breakfast – after a little dance practice in the beautifully dressed Executive Suite of Inglewood Manor
Thank you Carys and Dom for allowing us to share a few hours with you on your fabulous day in the glorious spring sunshine.
Wishing you many years of happiness and health.
A day full of emotion at a stunning Inglewood Manor Wedding
After a couple of gorgeous outdoor weddings, it was great to have this stunning Inglewood Manor wedding held indoors.
The weather was getting a bit cooler, so indoor suited this family.
Right from the moment that Jason and Emily sent us such a beautiful email saying how much they loved our “approach and naturalistic styles of photography” and
” would adore you to be able to capture our smiles, love, and warmth in your photographs.,” we knew this was a match made in heaven. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Its no secret Inglewood Manor is one of our favourite (and most popular this year) venue but combined with a couple so full of love and not afraid to show it, was magical.
Emily and Jason made the most of the venue space. Ceremony indoors in the newly opened up Executive suite.
The removal of the partitioning wall allows so much more light in, great from a photographer’s viewpoint.
The wedding breakfast was downstairs in the Burton Suite with its doors leading out to the glorious view beyond to the big pond
For the evening it was back upstairs to the middle room for the partying!
Bride and Groom Preps Inglewood Manor Wedding Photography
The guys were quite relaxed as they strolled around the grounds for some pictures before the indoor ceremony.
Meanwhile, Emily was a little more nervous, understandably, as the ceremony approached. Emily got ready in the beautiful Oak Room bridal suite.
Her maid of Honour Kat did a wonderful job looking after her, helping her dress and keeping nerves at bay. Such a devoted friend.
When her dad saw her, it was a beautiful emotional moment. We are so honoured to capture these moments.
Dad proudly escorted his daughter, sweeping her down the stairs to her waiting groom.
A girl can never have too many shoes and boots!
Inglewood Manor Indoor Ceremony
The emotions continued into the ceremony with tears of joy from both bride and groom, each dabbing their eyes at moments throughout the Inglewood Manor indoor ceremony.
So touching to witness., confess to a lump in my throat too and moist eyes.
Groups and Portraits Inglewood Manor Wedding Photography
Plenty of time with this relaxed wedding for family groups and couple shots throughout the extensive grounds. Emily and Josh love the woodland and reflection shots and they loved these results.
we ended this session with a quirky shot on the steps and got in for the wedding breakfast just before a rain flurry.
Wedding Reception Inglewood Manor
Emily had requested that her flowers looked like they had been freshly picked from a meadow. They looked exactly like that, springlike fresh, so pretty and elegant.
They adorned the tables for the reception and it worked a treat. Still, the emotions were running high for the speeches. Neve known such chemistry amongst family and friends.
Plenty of time afterwards for some more portraits. Emily and Jason loved exploring the grounds, they really maximised them to the full.
A pathway has been made in the grass leading to the boathouse. We hadn’t often utilised this area but it’s so much improved.
Their timescale meant it was a relaxed pace for everyone. Still time for mingling before the evening party kicked off with cake cut and dancing.
Evening Reception Inglewood Manor
The evening kicked off with cake cut and dancing – great first dance, even if Jason stod on Emily’s dress when he swept her over on the dance floor. Great moves guys!
Guests were treated to a chocolate fountain and Emily and Jason had some cool presents! The cross stitch perfectly complemented the ring cushion made for them by mum.
The dance floor was kept busy, everyone having a fantastic time.
Emily changed into a dress for the later part of the evening, being on-trend with a cape attachment, ooh swirly!.
We really didn’t want to leave, such an amazing day. When you have couples and families who enjoy each other’s company and not afraid to display their emotions it just makes for the most perfect wedding story.
This is a day we will never forget just as Emily and Jason won’t. We felt so privileged to share in this day and we wish you every happiness for the future.
If you wish us to capture your stunning Inglewood Manor Wedding we would love to hear from you.
We have covered Inglewood Manor weddings throughout all the seasons – full day weddings and shorter ones.
We know all the best places. We are thrilled to hear of the developments of this beautiful venue and can’t wait to be here again – not too long to wait!
Sophie and Rob planned the most perfect day for their sunflower and gin themed wedding.
The flowers and buttonholes were all cleverly made by Sophie’s mum.
The added an amazing splash of colour to the day.
Their schedule gave them plenty of time for getting ready, enjoying the ceremony which was beautifully set up on the terrace.
Drinks and canapes afterwards with time to mingle, enjoy group photos and portraits.
The magician was entertaining the guests before and after the meal. The sunshine ensured guests could make the most of the grounds after the meal and more fun with the magician
Everyone had an amazing time, it really did flow. Nothing was rushed and made for a perfect relaxed fun day.
A great party in the evening and we left well into the evening as it was such good atmosphere.
The bouquet toss and the merriment that caused was the icing on the cake, although some pics had to be censored!
Hope you enjoy some of our favourite images of the day. There were so many it was hard to choose,
but we especially loved seeing the reactions of mum and dad when they saw their beautiful daughter dressed.
A funny coincidental capture of a bubble right in front of Rob’s face.
Always a privilege to capture an Inglewood MAnor wedding, something we never tire of.
The speeches included a wedding bingo-not seen that before!
Soon we will be back at this wonderful venue and hoping for our third gorgeous outdoor wedding ceremony in 2019.
If this is your chosen venue and you are still searching for two experienced friendly photographers who will capture your day as it happens, then we need to talk.

Emma Kev’s bird-themed Spring wedding Inglewood Manor
A spring outdoor Inglewood Manor Wedding ceremony was planned for Emma & Kev and what a delightful day for them! Inglewood Manor is part of the Boutique Hotel Group which includes Peckforton Castle and Nunsmere Hall Hotel
Always a delight to shoot here and changes are gradually taking place which is improving the venue even more.
The Oak panelled room has been opened out and lets so much more light in – perfect for your wedding reception
The lower Burton Suite now has doors opening out to the lawns and [ond area beyond
Spring Outdoor Wedding Ceremony Inglewood Manor
…bu back to Emma & Kev’s day. A bright spring day with daffodils and bluebells in the woodland adding a splash of colour. Bridal preps – lots of activity with hair and makeup going up
We always arrive in plenty of time to capture candid and detail shots on the fly whilst the pampering and camaraderie amongst the girls goes on.
Dave captured some shots with the guys too, some cute interactions with their two boys trying to sort their hair out!
Soon it was time for the dress to go and some poignant memories of Dad – his picture in a locket tied to the bouquet.
One of her sons walked Emma to her Uncle at the top of the aisle who then carried on the short walk to a waiting kevin.
How lovely that that moment was shared by family members past and present. It was a privilege to witness the emotion on Emma’s face just seconds before she made that walk
.. so happy they had the outdoor ceremony they wanted – the first Outdoor wedding ceremony of the year for Inglewood Manor too.
Emma looked stunning in her bridal dress and ooh the lads scrubbed up well too.
Family Groups and Portraits Inglewood Manor We believe family groups are important so always make time to get a few.
It’s one of the few occasions when families get together, all dressed up and in a beautiful location. For large groups an overhead shot from the balcony is ideal.
Sometimes we do groups on the steps. This day with the sun being so bright we opted for the open shade with the woodland as a glorious backdrop.
Inglewood Manor is such a wonderful venue, with so many areas to shoot we never tire and always look for new angles as well as favourite areas.
Outdoor Inglewood Manor Wedding Reception
Ok so the ceremony was outside but the wedding breakfast was served inside in the Executive Suite – now beautifully opened up. No speeches at this wedding – everyone got to enjoy their food and have some downtime. The bird-themed table names are beautifully complemented by the birdcage cake from Suzanne Harvey and the birdcage centre pieces with their floral decorations created by Wow flowers. It looked immaculate. Also loved how Emma and Kevin had a “sweetheart table” for the two of them. Beautiful light after the breakfast so we grabbed Emma and Kevin for some fresh air and some golden light hour shots Such a beautiful time to take some memorable portraits, your photographers will love you for making time for these.
Big kids and smaller kids love the sweet cart!
…and the chocolate fountain is always popular
Evening Party Inglewood Manor Wedding
Soon time for the evening fun and with Tequila band always ensured a good time and action on the dance floor
Emma & Kev we wish you and your family so much happiness xx
First Look at a Festive Winter Wedding Inglewood Manor
Non Traditional Festive Winter Inglewood Manor Wedding Photography
Oh such a festive winter wedding at Inglewood Manor, The rooms beautifully decked and adorned with garlands and several Christmas trees.
So many gorgeous details. The snow cake with penguins and polar bear and topped with a gingerbread house. Really fitting for the festive theme.
Oh and our couple were blooming amazing too, totally non-traditional enjoying a first look before the ceremony and then walking down the aisle together.
Inglewood Manor Wedding First Look
It was such a lovely moment to capture and see their reactions when David turned around and saw Penny for the first time in her shimmering Monsoon wedding dress
Penny had cleverly accessorised the back of her dress herself with a string of pearls. The dress was stunning and so fitting for Penny
So relaxed with each other, it was a delight to see and we loved their many giggles!
Inglewood Manor Wedding Portraits
We took advantage of the light before the ceremony seeing as it was a late ceremony and would be dark afterwards being a Winter Inglewood Wedding
Inglewood has so many areas to take portraits we could avoid being overlooked by guests arriving for the wedding ceremony.
Inglewood Manor Wedding Photography of the Ceremony
We left them to have a few moments alone before the registrars cam to check their details before the wedding ceremony
Guests meanwhile had been gathering and enjoying canapes and then entered the Executive Suite (the oak panelled room)
Parents and Groomsmen, Bridesmaids and flower girl and page boy entered first before Penny and David finally entered, walking in together and looking so radiant
The Bridesmaids carrying lanterns which really fitted the Christmas theme.
A beautiful intimate family wedding, vows made and then what a kiss! \Soon time for the happy couple to exit for their mulled wine toast
Inglewood Manor Wedding Reception
There were a few groups but with plenty of time set aside and great cooperation, they were soon done. Family pictures are so important, especially when families had travelled far and wide, many from New Zealand to be her for Penny and David. The staircase is a lovely option for photos for small groups but for larger ones we used the side room with its beautiful Christmas tree and whitish walls.
There was plenty of time to mingle before the guests moved down to the Burton Suite so festively set up for the wedding breakfast and not just with the Christmas decorations
The table centrepieces were cute miniature winter scenes in fish bowls, all carefully painted by Penny herself – how creative!
There were several speeches – Father of Bride, Mother of Groom, Groom, Bestman and Bride’s sister! we love to capture the emotion and reactions during these.
Plenty of emotion, laughter and toasts to enjoy. The speeches were before the meal and afterwards, we left the party to enjoy their food and to continue the celebrations into the evening.
This was one of our short coverage twilight weddings and shows just how much can be captured in a few hours if you don’t require your photographers all day.
Of course, we took a couple of signature ring shots that we love to do – the bar in the Burton Suite made for a fab reflection and colour for the rings – how unusual are they!
Many congratulations David and Penny – it’s evident to see how much you enjoyed your day. Thank you for doing things your way and for asking us to capture the most important parts for you.
Wishing you many years of happiness and health, love Sandy & Dave
If you are planning an Inglewood Manor wedding and you love our approach and style of images then please get in touch
We have several favourite country house venues that we love to shoot at and the Cheshire wedding venue Inglewood Manor is right up there in our top 3.
Inglewood Manor is a restored Edwardian Manor House with 29 bedrooms and several function suites. Inglewood Manor is now part of luxury Boutique Hotels Group,
being bought in summer 2018, which also encompasses Peckforton Castle and Nunsmere Hall Hotel. These are also fabulous Cheshire wedding venues we enjoy shooting at.
Rooms and Grounds of Inglewood Manor
It’s always a joy to document a wedding here, options with the rooms and the gardens are extensive with woodland, gates and ponds and arbours. Always something different to shoot.
We have shot weddings in the Executive Suite (the dark panelled room), the Burton Suite downstairs, (now with its new bi-fold doors) and the white room on the left of the reception area.
The garden area at the rear of the Burton Suite has been opened out to make the best of the views across the estate, so now the view from this room is lighter and more expansive.
The extent of the gardens lends itself to options for other wedding ceremony sites – especially with new laws coming out, considering legally binding ceremonies outdoors.
Plus at a recent wedding, it was interesting to hear of the plans the new owners have for this fab Cheshire wedding venue – watch this space!
Inglewood Manor Weddings Throughout the seasons
Whatever the season – spring, summer, autumn or winter – there are always areas to shoot and enjoy outdoors ad especially indoors
