Gileston Manor Wedding Venue
Charlotte and Ryan had the most gorgeous wedding at Gileston Manor in April 2023. Gileston Manor is such a beautiful venue, both inside and around the grounds, especially with the weather that Charlotte and Ryan were lucky to have on their wedding day! Gileston Manor has such a beautiful manor house, perfectly symmetrical for photography and covered in such beautiful foliage, with a beautiful, perfectly kept walled garden along and breathtaking coastal views perfect for couples’ wedding portraits and wedding group shots.
Charlotte and Ryan’s Wedding Day
Charlotte and her Bridesmaids got ready in the beautiful ballroom in the main house at Gileston Manor. The wedding hair stylists and makeup artists did such an amazing job of getting everyone glammed up and ready for the wedding ceremony. After capturing the back of Charlotte’s wedding dress being done up with her mum, we headed out to the staircase where the bridesmaids were patiently waiting for their first look at the beautiful bride - it’s safe to say they weren’t disappointed!
Bridesmaids reveal
Whilst the bridal party was waiting in the ballroom to be called to the ceremony, the groom made a surprise wedding entrance in a helicopter on the front lawn. The guests were in complete shock, along with the bridesmaids, who had the best reactions peeping down from the ballroom windows in the house - it was one of the best entrances I’d ever seen!
The ceremony was in the marquee in the secret garden with the sun shining down on them as they declared their wedding vows. It was one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies I’ve captured, with so much laughter and love between the couple. Charlotte and Ryan finally had their first kiss and made their way back down the aisle as newlyweds!
Once the guests were ready for the wedding confetti, the couple made an appearance again and started to walk through the corridor of guests throwing confetti. The reactions of the guests and the happiness of the couple made for such beautiful wedding confetti photos.
We switched up the locations of the wedding group shots, as there were so many beautiful locations, we just had to get them all! We got through as many as we could before everyone sat down for the wedding breakfast and speeches.
The night then kicked off with the wedding cake cut and first dance, with everyone joining the dancefloor and showing off their moves! Ultrabooth had 2 photobooths set up, one with a beautiful glam backdrop, and the other was the 360 video booth, which I’d 100% recommend after seeing the results and how much fun everyone had on there.
Overall, it was a fantastic wedding day with such a massive amount of energy throughout the whole day, which made capturing Charlotte and Ryan’s day so much fun - thank you so much for having us!
