Getting ready at Thorpe Garden

I had so much fun providing the photography for Megan and Jamie’s Thorpe Garden wedding. Megan and the girls got ready at The Make Up House, which is on the Thorpe Constantine Estate. The girls all wore cute champagne coloured, matching PJ’s, so it was only right to pop some fizz and have a toast to Megan, before getting dressed.

They then made the short walk in the sunshine, accompanied by Megan’s Dad, to the ceremony in the Yurt. There’s something so special about walking to your wedding ceremony. It gives you chance to chat to your bridesmaids and walk off any nerves and from a photography point of view, it’s gives me some lovely natural moments to capture.

Yurt wedding ceremony at Thorpe Garden

I’ve been a wedding photographer at Thorpe Garden quite a few times now, but this was my first time where the ceremony took place in the Yurt. I loved it! It has a rustic look that worked perfectly with Megan and Jamie’s styling. After the ceremony everyone gathered for a confetti tunnel. The couple chose large petals for their confetti, which was great for photos. It was a scorching hot sunny day, so whilst guests enjoyed drinks in the shade of the trees in the courtyard, I took a walk with Megan and Jamie for some relaxed couple portraits. The gardens are stunning at this time of year and even though the Wisteria tunnel was no longer in full bloom, it made the perfect shady spot for photos.

There was a brilliant atmosphere all day. Megan and Jamie really bought the party and everyone was up for a great time. It was such a joyful, relaxed day that I loved being a small part of.

The clue is in the name of the venue, as Thorpe Garden is in fact situated inside a walled garden! The gardens here are full of colourful flowerbeds, mature trees and pretty pathways. Megan and Jamie’s guests loved having a wander and the Wisteria tunnel provided some welcome shade for some of the family group photos.
