RUSHTON HALL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome to my first wedding of 2024, the awesome wedding of Jade and Darren, who were married in late March at the 5* Rushton Hall Wedding Venue in Northampton.
Jade and Darren booked me well over 12 months before their wedding; they wanted their wedding day to be about their family and friends all coming together to celebrate their wedding day, they wanted their coverage to reflect them, and they wanted to make sure that they spent as much time with their family and friends as possible on the day and not to be stood around for ages doing formal wedding photos - the perfect wedding for me!
Wedding mornings can unfold in two very different ways: chaos and stress, or calm and relaxation. The image above clearly shows that Jade’s morning was the latter.
We split the coverage between Darren and his guys and Jade with her girls. I love it when couples prepare in the same location—it allows me to capture both sides of the story without the need to rush or compromise the coverage due to travel between venues.
Once Jade was in her dress, with a little help from her Gran, it was time for Dad.
Jade had mentioned that her Dad might get emotional—and he did—but his heartfelt moment was mixed with a touch of humor, as the bridesmaids giggled away just to my right.
The wedding ceremony took place in the Picture Gallery at Rushton Hall—a breathtaking room filled with soft, diffused light streaming through the large front windows.
The ceremony was brief, with the guys eager to finish the legal formalities so they could relax and enjoy the rest of the day. Jade was relieved to have that part out of the way—though Darren still had his speech to contend with!
Despite a year of rain and wind in 2024, we were fortunate on this day. The morning was clear, and only a few gusts of wind followed, which allowed everyone to gather outside after the ceremony to shower the newlyweds with confetti before heading into the Grand Hall for drinks and canapés.
The wedding speeches and breakfast took place in the Ballroom at Rushton Hall—a spacious, elegant room with high ceilings and ornate chandeliers, making it the perfect setting for a memorable reception.
Jade’s Dad, the groom, and the best man all took turns giving their speeches. They kept it classy, sharing only a few light-hearted and slightly embarrassing stories about Jade and Darren, but they were all in good fun!
The evening kicked off with Jade and Darren’s first dance, performed live by the band. I love a live band at weddings—the energy they bring is unmatched. One of my favorite shots from the night captures Jade passionately singing along to one of her favorite songs.
After the band wrapped up their first set and enjoyed a well-deserved break, the rest of us ventured outside into the chilly March air to light the sparklers. Despite the wind, we managed to create a memorable sparkler exit for Jade and Darren.

So there we go, the first wedding of 2024 done and blogged, I loved my time with Jade and Darren; they knew what they wanted, and that’s why they booked me; they didn’t manage me on the wedding day and just let me do my thing, and the results of that are a fantastic set of wedding images, some of which are in the gallery below.
This was my first time at Rushton Hall Hotel and Spa, which is up there with one of my favorite wedding venues.

SOME KIND WORDS FROM JADE & DARREN
We wanted candid, not forced wedding pictures to go up in the house that best reflected us. Andy through the process understood that, was frank about some formal shots and overall understood us down to a T. We couldn't have picked anyone better to capture our day!
