Tutbury Castle a striking and historic venue perfect for Sharon and Neil to say ‘I do’

The absolutely lovely Sharon and Neil celebrated their union with a glorious wedding, starting the commemorations with a heart-warming and picturesque ceremony at the awe-inspiring Tutbury Castle situated in Burton-Upon-Trent, Staffordshire. 

HEY YOU LEGENDS

Let’s arrange a Zoom call, we would LOVE to hear all you amazing ideas

A joyful and touching Medieval Castle celebration adorned with lanterns, it was an honour to document!

The atmospheric ruins of the phenomenal Medieval Castle were the perfect backdrop for this high-spirited and incredibly warm couple. The ceremony was truly beautiful, adorned with Lanterns as a remembrance to family members, with many touching details like this filling the day abundantly, even down to the wedding transport which was the bride’s own car, that Sharon and her father bought together.

A Personalised Wedding with Japanese touches and Scottish heritage shown throughout the wonderful occasion

Sharon and Neil live in Japan for most of their time, so hints of Japanese touches were frequently seen, such as the bride’s kimono during the morning shots. To add to this cultural and personalized wedding, the groom’s Scottish heritage was themed throughout this wonderful day, such as the men’s attire and the arranged pipers. The couple also organized a tour guide for guests at the scheduled ancient monument, adding to the uniqueness and cultural, historical aspects that accompanied this very special occasion. 

Alrewas Hayes a superb magical reception venue for this vibrant couple to continue their festivities

The magnificent and dramatic backdrop of the castle ruins made for some captivating images, encapsulating an essence of the day. The festivities continued with a short journey to the stunning reception at the stunning Alrewas Hayes. Concealed in the heart of central England, peacefully lies Alrewas Hayes, a historic country estate. The Grade II listed Queen Anne residence holds 100 acres of beauty, and was a tranquil and scenic location to carry on such magical celebrations. Beaming smiles, contagious laughter and emotional moments gushed throughout this wedding, it was a pleasure to be able to capture those instances, especially for such a lovely pair. A day filled with heritage, soul-stirring touches and forever love.
