A Magical Christmas Wedding: Stanton house hotel
Capturing Love at St Mary’s Church and Stanton House Hotel
When it comes to winter weddings, few things are as enchanting as a Christmas celebration. Last December, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing the beautiful wedding of Mr and Mrs Millet. The day began at the historic St Mary’s Church, where the couple exchanged vows in a warm, festive atmosphere surrounded by loved ones. As a wedding photographer and videographer, I was there to capture every candid moment, from the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the heartfelt “I dos.”
A Winter Wonderland at Stanton House Hotel
Following the ceremony, the celebrations moved to the picturesque Stanton House Hotel. With its classic charm and beautifully decorated interiors, it was the perfect setting for a Christmas wedding reception. The hotel’s elegant rooms, festive lighting, and cosy ambiance made every shot feel magical. Despite the chilly weather, the love and joy between the couple and their guests made the day feel incredibly warm.
My Approach to Christmas Wedding Photography
Being there for over 12 hours, I had the opportunity to document every detail, from the morning preparations to the lively evening party. My goal was to create a visual story that truly captured the spirit of the day. My photography style is candid and documentary-focused, allowing me to blend into the background while capturing the genuine emotions and spontaneous moments that make a wedding unique.

Mr and Mrs Millet chose my Party Package, which includes:
12+ hours of coverage - from morning prep to late-night dancing.
Unlimited photos - capturing every moment, big and small.
Same-day sneak peeks - a preview of the day’s highlights.
A framed print on the day - a special memento to take home immediately.
The Forever Highlight Film - a beautifully edited 3-5 minute video set to music that matches the day’s atmosphere.
Ceremony and Speeches Recording - full-length videos to relive the most important parts of the day.
