Venue – Alrewas Hayes
As an Alrewas Hayes Wedding Photographer this was a Day to Remember!
When it comes to capturing love stories, Emma and Matthew’s wedding at the stunning Alrewas Hayes truly left me speechless! As an experienced Alrewas Hayes wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky to document many beautiful weddings, and this celebration was filled with beauty, joy, and unforgettable moments. From start to finish, it was a day straight out of a dream, and I’m thrilled to share the highlights with you.
The Venue as an Alrewas Hayes wedding photographer
Nestled in the heart of Staffordshire, Alrewas Hayes is a historical country estate that seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary elegance. Dating back to 1066, this Grade II listed Queen Anne residence is set amidst a 100-acre estate, offering an exclusive and idyllic setting for weddings and events.
The estate boasts versatile event spaces accommodating anywhere from 50 to 650 guests, making it suitable for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The Great Barn, reminiscent of a New York loft with its white walls and high ceilings, is the largest space, accommodating events from 180 to 650 guests.
The Orangery, with its bright and airy atmosphere, is perfect for smaller ceremonies, while the Lakeside offers a picturesque setting for larger gatherings.
The estate also features 11 uniquely designed bedrooms, providing luxurious accommodation for guests. It’s truly a venue that combines style and substance, making it a dream location for both couples and photographers.
Amazing Vibes & Incredible Weather
From the very start, the energy of this wedding was unmatched! The vibe was electric all day, and to top it off, the weather was absolutely incredible. The sun shone brightly, creating the perfect atmosphere for both the ceremony and the celebration that followed.
Emma & Her Bridesmaids – Energy and Laughter
Emma and her bridesmaids brought nonstop energy to the day, and their laughter was contagious! A particularly special moment was when Emma’s dad, who had flown all the way from Australia, arrived for the big occasion. The father-daughter reveal was unforgettable, though almost hilariously spoiled when he accidentally walked in on Emma and the girls popping bubbly! Moments like these make weddings so personal and memorable.
Matt’s Calm Complements Emma’s Energy
Matt’s quiet, laid-back demeanor was the perfect contrast to Emma’s vibrant personality. As we heard during the speeches, Emma brings Matt out of his shell, while Matt has a way of grounding and calming Emma. Their dynamic was a joy to capture – a true partnership that shines in every photo.
An Emotional Ceremony from my perspective as an Alrewas Hayes wedding photographer
The ceremony itself was deeply emotional, with plenty of happy tears shed by both the couple and their guests. As an Alrewas Hayes wedding photographer, it was an honor to document these heartfelt moments, from the vows to the meaningful glances exchanged between Emma and Matt as they became husband and wife.
Guests Who Knew How to Party
The guests matched Emma’s energy and kept the celebration alive all day long. From heartfelt interactions to full-on party mode later in the evening, their enthusiasm made for some truly candid and lively shots.
Couples Portraits – Dips, Lifts & a Sunset for the Ages from my perspective as an Alrewas Hayes wedding photographer.
Emma and Matt nailed their couples’ portraits, and their chemistry was undeniable. They had perfected ‘the lean’ and even mastered the lift, giving us some iconic moments to capture. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, we were blessed with the most epic sunset! Alrewas Hayes’ sunsets over the cornfield are something truly magical, and this one didn’t disappoint. As an Alrewas Hayes wedding photographer, moments like these are what make this venue so special to work at.
The Dance Floor & A Second Dress!
Emma stunned everyone with a second dress for the evening celebrations, and it was perfect for the high-energy dance floor! From the first dance to the late-night party, the dance floor was wild, with everyone getting involved and creating unforgettable memories.
