Old Thorns Hotel is truly one very large gem for weddings! Last year, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful celebration there, and this year, I was a bridesmaid. Feeling inspired, I knew I had to write a blog!
Back in May, from the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was filled with love, laughter, and an infectious energy that made the day unforgettable. I walked into the bridal suite to find the ladies getting ready, the room buzzing with excitement. I finally had the pleasure of meeting Rachel (@rachelmaslinmakeupartist) and Andrea (@andrealuallahair)—an incredible duo and lovely ladies who worked their magic, ensuring everyone looked and felt their best.
You know outdoor space matters to me, and Old Thorns provided the perfect backdrop for post-ceremony mingling. One of the most epic moments? (Which, of course, we captured!) The confetti toss—an explosion of colour and happiness that made for some absolutely stunning shots. To top it off, a sneaky groomsman had another basket of confetti for a surprise second toss. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH CONFETTI!
One of the highlights of my day was exploring the stunning grounds in a golf buggy. What better way to soak in the beauty of the venue while capturing candid, intimate moments of the couple?
Working alongside a talented second photographer, Becky (@becky_takes_photos), who is equally passionate about storytelling through images, meant we could capture all the epic moments. Plus, I love working with Becky!
As day turned to night, the celebration truly came alive on the dance floor. The newlyweds and their guests danced, laughed, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Every heartfelt embrace, every joyful twirl—it was a dream to photograph.
Old Thorns Hotel set the stage for a wedding day filled with love, excitement, and unforgettable moments. I can’t wait for more incredible celebrations at this stunning venue!
