“We loved having you be a part of our day and absolutely adore every single photo you captured!”
When I arrived at the stunning Peckforton Castle, paparazzi were standing outside the gatehouse where Charlotte and her bridesmaids were getting ready. It turns out Beyonce, and other American celebrity royalty had been at a dream English castle wedding the day before. Peckforton Castle certainly is the stuff of fairytales, and was to be the perfect backdrop for Charlotte and Tom’s epic day.
The morning saw Tom and his dad putting their carpentry skills to the test, assembling a home made signpost for guests. I then documented Tom getting suited and booted at the castle before heading back to the lodge where Charlotte’s mum was helping her into a stunning dress.
I’ve never failed to be impressed my the great hall at Peckforton, and it looked stunning for the ceremony. A beaming Charlotte walking down the aisle bordered by impressive flowers. A gorgeous ceremony set the tone for the day, two people totally in love!
In the evening, soon after the first dance, the band must have been playing too loud and the electricity for the great hall cut out. Here began a 5 minute drum solo, equal in skill to one I saw Cypress Hill perform at Milton Keys Bowl many years ago. The hall went wild and I saw first hand how Tom moves on the dancefloor better than any Destiny’s child member 😉
It was an absolute pleasure to capture this Peckforton Castle wedding for Charlotte and Tom. I had so much fun being a part of it, and I know everyone else did too!
Inspiring stuff – love the evening reception image (4 from bottom), a great little spot!
Cheers Rob, much appreciated
