Magical Froyle Park Winter Wedding Photography
Froyle Park is a classic and elegant wedding venue situated in the lovely village of Upper Froyle in North-East Hampshire. The beautiful Jacobean manor dates back to the early 1700s and features immaculately manicured grounds that always make for fantastic backdrops to photos. Claire and Andy are a great couple who got married here in March, and with the heavy snow forecast, I was so excited at the prospect of my first white wedding! The snow looked magical, covering the countryside, and I knew it would be an amazing day working with my cameras.
Sure enough, the snow settled, and I arrived well ahead of schedule, anticipating travel problems in the morning. We managed to drive all but the last half a mile where my rear-wheeled drive car couldn’t make it up the slippery hill, and to save us trekking with our gear, the very kind local landlord offered to drive us the rest of the way in his 4X4! Froyle Park looked incredible in the snow, and with the water fountains completely frozen over, this made for some fantastic photography of the grounds in the morning.
Photos in the snow at Froyle Park
I headed up to capture Claire, getting ready to document the anticipation before the ceremony. The registrars had trouble getting to the venue and ran over an hour late; the couple eventually exchanged their vows in the picturesque Great Hall in the afternoon. Claire and Andy were keen to make the most of the snow outside Froyle Park, and I took them around the magical white grounds for a relaxed couple shoot, complete with icicles and wellies! This unique scene made for some iconic images of the bride and groom as they took a few moments away from their guests.
The breakfast and celebrations took place in the magnificent Grand Ballroom which made for an elegant setting and fantastic images. Afterwards, we went outside to capture Claire and Andy with the snow falling under the beautiful twilight sky. I was thrilled with the pictures in the snow. Claire and Andy looked fantastic as I documented the action with my viewfinder.
It was an amazing day at this country estate with several photography challenges to overcome. However, we came away with some amazing and truly memorable images from Froyle Park……….
Claire and Andy’s review of the pictures
It was great to work alongside the very talented Stephanie Dorrelli at Froyle Park. She did Claire and her bridesmaids’ hair and make-up in the morning; you can find her website here.
