✨ A little first look at an exciting new wedding venue… ✨
Yesterday we had the pleasure of being part of the wedding fayre at this beautiful new venue, and it was so lovely to see the doors opening for couples to visit the church🤍
We had a wonderful show round of the stunning old church, full of history and character, plus a little preview of the new orangery, which is due to open over the next 12 months…
And if the preview is anything to go by, it’s going to be something very special! 😍
It was a delight to meet so many lovely couples and see lots of brilliant local suppliers.
The Reel also includes a little peek at some of the photographs we captured during the press photoshoot day, which will form part of the venue's gallery.
We're really excited to see this venue develop and feel very lucky to be involved from the beginning. 📸

Josh & Jordan 🤍 | Keele Hall

A beautiful summer evening at Keele Hall for Josh & Jordan’s wedding on Monday 3rd August.

Their 4pm ceremony gave the day a wonderfully relaxed feel, and their twilight package meant we were able to head outside afterwards and make the most of the beautiful evening around the grounds.

The lake at Keele Hall was the perfect setting for some gorgeous evening photographs, and we’re already loving what we’ve captured so far.

✨ And this is only the preview!

We still have plenty more photographs to edit and can’t wait to see their full wedding story come together.

Their ceremony was conducted with their celebrant alongside the Staffordshire Registrars, before the celebrations continued into the evening.

If you’re considering a twilight wedding at Keele Hall, this is a lovely example of just how much you can capture later in the day.

Josh & Jordan, thank you for having me to capture your wedding. 🤍

📖 We’ve shared more about their day over on the blog — head over to our website to have a look.
