A Beautiful & Elegant Wedding at Elsham Hall – Gabriella & Alex

Huge congratulations to Alex & Gabriella who tied the knot at St. Peter’s Church, Bottesford followed by a reception to remember at the stunning Elsham Hall! These two were absolutely amazing to work with, total firecrackers with amazing natural chemistry. I had an amazing time being with you both, thank you for making me feel so welcome!

The Beginning

“We knew each other from school, and reconnected 11 years later. We went on our first date – bowling, we fell madly in love, went on lovely holidays together before buying our first house then welcoming our beautiful daughter; Nelly, not long after our amazing Son was born; Noah.”

The Engagement

“We got engaged around 3 years ago. I was surprised to walk into our living room with rose petals on the floor spelling out “will you marry me?” There were beautiful candles everywhere and our favourite song “don’t let go” by James Arthur was playing in the background whilst our daughter Nelly was fast asleep in her car seat!
“We are most excited about seeing each other in church surrounded by our friends and family and beautiful children.”

I started my day with the ladies in the bridal suite at Forest Pines Hotel! The bridesmaids all wore gorgeous green robes to match Alex & Gabriella’s theme. Everyone was so lovely and super relaxed as they got ready for the big day ahead!

James set up camp with the boys at Alex & Gabriella’s home! The energy was high, beers were shared and they were all raring to go for the day ahead! I can’t get over little Noah’s little Vans! Super cute!

Their wedding was held at St. Peter’s Church, Bottesford, Scunthorpe and was held by the legendary Reverend Dyke (AKA Rev Kev!) Gabriella’s mother did a lovely reading after they were pronounced husband and wife and the emotions were flowing!

Family Photo Time

During cocktail hour we got to listen to the exceptional musical talents of Michael Mulholland. After our Hugs & High-Fives part of the day, we held our family photos on the stunning natural backdrop at Elsham Hall. We picked a nice shady spot where no one would get too warm or have the sun in their eyes, it also makes the photos look so much nicer! We finished off with a confetti walk before heading in for their wedding breakfast.

Wedding breakfast & Speeches

The barn at Elsham Hall looked absolutely stunning with all the botanical greenery and candles. The newlyweds made their epic entrance as everyone in the room stood cheering and waving napkins around! Gabriella & Alex cut their cake first as it was going to be the wedding breakfast dessert (really good idea if you ask me!). The speeches followed an excellent three course meal; the food at Elsham Hall is incredible. Father of the bride Gino spoke first, followed by Alex and then best man Lee.

Their theme: “We chose elegant greens and white.”

There is just so much to work with at Elsham Hall! We started near the river, followed by a trip to the little cottage and finally onto the walled garden to see the animals! We stroked the horses, fed the rams and had a quick catch up with the alpacas! Gabriella & Alex were dynamite to work with, we had such a laugh together!

The newlyweds took to the dancefloor and began the dance with their two beautiful children! After that they enjoyed some of the song to themselves for a little while before calling up all of their guests to join them! Everyone danced with them with such enthusiasm, the dancefloor shots are always some of my favourites of the day!

“Our first dance is going to be to Artic Monkeys – Baby I’m yours.”

Elsham Hall is a stunning venue inside and out! The wedding breakfast room is a gorgeous undressed barn with a really rustic and natural look to it, perfect for any theme! The grounds at Elsham Hall consist of a beautiful river flowing down the back; a short walk over the bridge takes you to a stunning and quaint little cottage (perfect for photos!) with super friendly horses nearby! There’s also a walled garden which is strikingly beautiful and provides the perfect backdrop for some photos as newlyweds. I highly recommend Elsham Hall for your wedding day; it has absolutely everything and the food and the staff are amazing too!
