Elena & Lewis: Parley Manor Wedding

Elena & Lewis got married on the 18th July, 2024, at Parley Manor, Dorset.

The day began in the bridal suite, where Elena and her bridesmaids got ready for the big day. I photographed details such as shoes, jewelry and dress.

Elena then walked across the lawn for the outdoor ceremony It was a beautiful Celebrant led service with their friends and family.

Following the ceremony, We had a confetti line on the lawn, after guests were invited to enjoy a drinks reception alongside group photos. Then Elena & Lewis enjoyed a first look of their reception and couple portraits around the grounds.

As the evening approached, Elena & Lewis made a grand entrance into the reception marquee. They then had their wedding breakfast and speeches, but it wasn't a traditional reception... They had a secret singer! A 'waiter' fell during the food service, the music cut, guests crowded over the waiter in shock, for him to suddenly bring out a microphone and sing Queen!

The singer got everyone on their feet, waving their napkins, doing the conga and singing along. It was the most amazing experience!

As the sun set, Elena & Lewis shared their Cake cut and first dance which got all the guests to join the dancefloor, before heading to the field next to the manor for golden hour portraits.
