Set against the majestic backdrop of Soughton Hall, this romantic editorial whispers of a time gone by. A world of handwritten letters, candlelit drawing rooms, and the kind of poised elegance that would make Jane Austen proud. Nestled on the Cheshire borders, Soughton Hall is a dream venue for couples drawn to classic romance and period drama charm. It’s a setting that could easily belong in the pages of Pride & Prejudice.
Inside, ornate ceilings and carved oak doorways create an atmosphere that feels almost suspended in time. Gilded chandeliers catch the soft morning light; ivy climbs ancient brickwork just outside the tall windows. The bride, poised and reflective, prepares in the stately bridal suite, wrapped in delicate textures and quiet anticipation.
Her gown, with its soft puffed sleeves and pearlescent detail, feels as though it were designed for a modern-day Elizabeth Bennet. The bridal styling is refined and effortlessly elegant, paired with a bouquet that celebrates movement and softness, blush garden roses, wild sweet peas, and airy Queen Anne’s lace in tones of dusky pink and champagne.
The entire day unfolded with an intentional stillness, a celebration of slow, thoughtful beauty. Soughton Hall’s formal gardens offered a backdrop of sculpted hedges and English roses, while the historic interiors provided layers of texture, velvet upholstery, oil paintings, and polished wood floors, that tell a story all on their own.
Every detail was curated to feel intimate and timeless, ideal for couples planning Cheshire weddings with a classic, storybook feel. Whether you're dreaming of an elegant estate celebration or a countryside gathering steeped in tradition, this editorial proves that the past and present can meet in perfect harmony.
I’d love to capture it for you! Whether it’s an estate venue like Soughton Hall or a historic manor tucked away on the Cheshire borders, I specialise in soft, refined photography that tells your story with heart.
