A romantic and elegant summer wedding at Euridge Manor
As a Euridge Manor wedding photographer, there aren’t many UK wedding venues that are more magical than this Cotswolds setting. It was no wonder then that Erin and Sam knew it was the place they wanted to say yes to forever!
Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds and surrounded by unspoiled views of Wiltshire countryside, who wouldn’t dream of a Euridge Manor wedding? Euridge Manor is without doubt the UK’s most luxurious wedding venue – and one of the most exclusive. The Cotswolds Manor boasts Georgian-style architecture, enchanting water features, an extraordinary ruin and exquisite topiary and gardens.
From New York with love
Surrounded by the most romantic setting, Erin and Sam exchanged vows and shared their love alongside their nearest and dearest. Being American, lots of Erin’s US friends and family made the journey across the Atlantic – and were welcomed by the most beautiful English summer’s day! After weeks and weeks of unpredictable weather, the summer wedding day delivered the best of the English weather. It was undeniably a perfect complement to the fairytale, timeless wedding day at Euridge Manor.
Before their ceremony at the iconic Euridge boathouse, Erin and Sam shared a first look and exchanged private vows. It was a such a personal moment and an honour to capture. It was so lovely to see Erin bring a little American tradition to their big day. As they exchanged vows on the water’s edge, you’d have been forgiven for thinking that you were at a destination wedding in the heart of Tuscany. It really is incredible indeed and there’s nothing else like it in the UK.
A quintessentially English wedding day in the Cotswolds
The afternoon reception brought mingling, chatting and clinking of champagne glasses in Euridge’s elegant and manicured gardens. Erin and Sam made their confetti entrance through Euridge’s iconic Chandelier Arch, before continuing the celebrations with a champagne tower and Sam’s speech outside on the lawn. It truly felt like the most quintessentially English summer’s wedding day in the heart of the Cotswolds.
It wouldn’t be a Euridge Manor wedding without braving the rowing boat for some spectacular wedding photos. It’s undoubtedly the most magical feature of a Euridge Manor wedding – a truly unique wedding photo opportunity – how often do you see newlyweds take to a rowing boat with the backdrop of a Georgian mansion?! It could certainly be a daunting task for some couples. Thankfully, though, Sam was a rowing pro (who knew?!) and made it look easy! The results are pretty showstopping too.
Euridge Manor – enchanting wedding photography at sunset
As the softer evening light flooded in, Euridge Manor becomes enchanting and a vision to photograph. We of course made the most of the dreamy light at sunset to capture some romantic wedding portraits in the idyllic rose garden. The setting really created such a beautifully elegant and timeless feel in their wedding photos.
The relaxed, love-filled atmosphere continued long into the evening. Following sunset cocktails on the lawn, guests hit the dancefloor and Erin snuck away for a dress (and shoe!) change. She looked flawless! We made the most of the opportunity to capture a few fun after-dark flash photos. It’s a vibe I love! It’s such an editorial look to your wedding photos and gives your gallery a totally new different vibe to your daytime portraits. Did someone say Vogue?!
Erin and Sam, congratulations. Capturing your wedding day at Euridge Manor was a dream.
