JOHANNA & AQIL. 04.03.23
On March 4th, 2023, I had the honor of photographing Johanna and Aqil's beautiful wedding at Pembroke Lodge.
This wedding was exciting start to the 2023 wedding season for several reasons. Firstly, because I'd been hearing about Pembroke Lodge for YEARS and finally had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at it. And secondly, because this was my second time shooting for this lovely couple. The year prior, I captured their religious ceremony in Central London, so it was really special for me to also be present for their legal ceremony.
The bride and her closest friends and family got ready at the Richmond Hill Hotel in the bridal suite...the perfect setting and just a stones throw away from Pembroke.
Pembroke Lodge weddings have been all over my instagram feed for about 2 years, so I had high expectations going into this. The Richmond wedding venue really didn't dissapoint.
Perhaps my favorite feature was the entrance. While I'm sure its beautiful in summer and spring, I was loving the wintery branches and inviting glow of the entrance light.
You'll also see in the following images the perfect blending of cultures. The reception started with drummers and ended the night with a traditional Scottish ceilidh.
After the ceremony, we walked around the stunning gardens of Pembroke Lodge and got some of my favorite shots to date. Particularly in love with the ones overlooking Richmond Park.
And for my couples who are worried about not having sunshine on their wedding day, this is the perfect reminder that you don't need to have perfect weather to get beautiful photographs.
Just as the sun was setting, we headed into the candle lit reception. Hints of light pink, dark green, and tartan could be seen all throughout decor.
