A Welsh-Themed Wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn

Diwrnod Priodas Hapus!! For those who don’t speak the fine Cymraeg language, Happy Wedding Day to Abbie & Matt! I love shooting at this amazing lakeside venue, so I was thrilled when Abbie & Matt got in touch about their Sandhole Oak Barn wedding photography near Congleton. Although we did have a little torrential rain, the sky overhead cleared for the afternoon and well into the evening.

I spent the morning with Abbie & her family in the granary, Abbie was expertly prepared by MUA Rebecca Jane, and gorgeous seasonal fragrant flower bouquets arrived from the very talented White Room Floral Design and I enjoyed the company of some very lovely people.

I then met Matt outside the Oak Barn as he greeted the couple’s friends and shot some portraits of him getting ready with his groomsmen. By this time, Abbie was nearly ready for the ceremony so the guests were ushered into the Barn to await the bride. After an intimate ceremony, the couple completed the formal part of their day and enjoyed an afternoon together. During this time we shot some lovely family groups before taking Abbie & Matt for some portraits.

– An excellent characterful bridal party that made sure that Abbie & Matt had an amazing day!

– Some of the most delicious food that I’ve tasted in a long time! (Top marks to Top Table Catering)

– Golden hour portraits in the cornfield!!!

– A fun-loving couple that truly enjoyed every single part of their day. A bride that didn’t stop smiling & laughing and a groom that took it all in his stride!

So Huge Congratulations to Abbie and Matt, I hope that you guys enjoyed the day as much as I enjoyed shooting it. Also, Massive Thanks to your family and friends who made me feel so welcome.

About Sandhole Oak Barn

Built to a traditional rural design, the Oak Barn is rustic, light and airy, and allows you and your guests to flow effortlessly from ceremony to reception drinks and the wedding breakfast. In the summer, light floods through the full-length windows, giving extensive views across the lake and the rolling Cheshire countryside, or you can enjoy a romantic outdoor wedding next to the lake under the Clock Tower. Those choosing a winter wedding can experience the warmth of the mellow oak beams elegantly lit by the wrought iron chandeliers, watch the sunset over the lake whilst enjoying your wedding breakfast, with the reassuring convenience of having your entire wedding under one roof.
