COCKLIFFE COUNTRY HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Annie and Chris were married at the Cockliffe Country House, situated within the grounds of Burnstump Park, in a wedding ceremony and day, mixed with British and Swedish traditions (mainly the drinking..)
The day started for me with the guest’s arrivals, Annie didn’t want any fuss or worry of having a photographer around whilst she was getting ready on the wedding morning, but I did pop in to see her to see how she was getting on, before I headed off to find Chris who was having some fun and games in getting his Button-Hole to stay on.
Cockliffe House has an amazing wedding ceremony room; it’s long wedding aisle that gives plenty of time for the couple to take it all in, often with a smaller aisle; as soon as the Bride or Groom starts walking down the aisle, they are at the front before you know it.
Another great aspect to the wedding ceremony room at Cockliffe house is the large windows and doors at the bottom of the aisle, this really helps to cast amazing soft defused light on the couple during the wedding ceremony, and because of the direction of the wedding ceremony room, the sun is never shining directly through the widows - which makes a big difference to use wedding photographers.
Annie and Chris went with a Humanist wedding ceremony for their special day which was conducted by a close friend of the couple.
I love a Humanist ceremony, it’s more about the couple than anything else, and it is always great to hear the stories of how the couple found each other and how they got to this point of getting married.
Once the ceremony was done, it was outside for the British tradition of getting covered in confetti, which almost didn’t happen as the confetti canons were trickier to work than people expected!
After the confetti, Annie and Chris enjoyed the company of their family and friends in the gardens of Cockliffe House; the rain stayed away for most of the drinks reception, which also allowed us ten minutes to grab the few family formals that the guys wanted.
At the start of the wedding breakfast was the speeches, with different members of both families taking it, in turn, to do a speech and raise a toast to the happy couple, the Swedish know how to drink!
After the wedding breakfast, speeches and the cake cut, came the wedding first dance (or the first shuffle as I call it) and then the big party with some questionable dance moves from Chris and his mates.
I really enjoyed my visit to Cockliffe House, the house, the bar, the gardens and the ceremony room are lovely and well thought out, this along with a wedding planner who knows what she is doing, makes for a great venue for a wedding.
