Stylish, relaxed, and great fun from beginning to end — Zofia and Ben’s summer wedding made the most of Elmore Court’s beautiful grounds and elegant interiors, for a celebration that felt both refined and completely unforced.

Getting Ready

Zofia looked incredible in her gown by Alexandra Mayleigh Designs, finished with effortlessly elegant hair by Mary Beth and natural, glowing makeup by Diana Morton. Rebecca Kate Flowers created the florals, adding softness and colour throughout the day.

An Emotional Ceremony

The morning was filled with excitement, along with a few emotional moments before the ceremony. There was a wonderful atmosphere as guests gathered, and the anticipation built for Zofia and Ben’s arrival.

Confetti & Just Married

Straight out of the ceremony, Zofia and Ben were met with a confetti send-off from friends and family — one of those moments that’s always full of noise, colour, and pure relief and joy.

Wedding Breakfast & Speeches

Once the celebrations were underway, the day flowed beautifully — plenty of laughter, wonderful food, and the kind of speeches that had the whole room somewhere between tears and applause.

Golden Hour Portraits

We slipped away for a few portraits at sunset, making the most of the warm summer evening and Elmore Court’s stunning grounds — this is always one of my favourite parts of the day.

Evening & First Dance

As the light faded, Elmore Court took on a completely different character for the evening reception — and the dance floor was packed from the moment the first dance ended.
