Woburn Sculpture Gallery Wedding – Laura & Andrew

Woburn Sculpture Gallery Wedding - Laura & AndrewA couple from the USA having a traditional English wedding at the Woburn Sculpture Gallery

Woburn Sculpture Gallery Wedding – Laura & Andrew:  Receiving an enquiry from the USA is not something that happens every day, however Laura explained that her family are originally from Leighton Buzzard and that they are using the same church and venue as her parents, with the ceremony in the All Saints Church in Leighton Buzzard, then off to the Sculpture Gallery at Woburn Abbey for the celebrations. Laura went on to explain, ‘For the majority of the guests, this trip will be the first time they have left the USA so we want to have a traditional English wedding!’.

I finally met Laura, Andrew, and both sets of parents at The Sculpture Gallery the day before the wedding so we could walk and talk through the wedding plans plus have a massive catch up on organising their group shot list, logistics on travel (there is no parking at the church), plus to give us all an opportunity to get to know each other. Meeting both Dad’s was a pleasure and such a funny experience, with Laura almost constantly apologising for both, but in reality I was probably egging them on as much as they were me, (sorry Laura!).

Bridal Prep was at Laura’s Grandma’s house, with Grandma being kind enough to give up her home to allow everything and everyone to be prepared for the wedding. Meeting Grandma, I learned that being allowed to park on her actual drive was a privilege indeed and it was funny watching all the family’s reactions during the day as I told them this!

With a mix of friends and family from both sides of the Pond, bridal prep was absolutely brilliant. Laura opting not to use the largest false eyelashes I’ve think I’ve ever seen in my life which she bought in the States, (sensible choice) and opting for a more natural look, plus with random cries from everyone of stuff like ‘look I’m adulting’, it was so much fun. One thing about Laura with her bridesmaids, they couldn’t stop laughing all the way through the entire day, I love days like this.

The classic car chosen by Laura was absolutely beautiful, with her Dad and myself asking the driver loads of questions about it’s origin and how authentic it was. Driving this to the beautiful All Saints Church was very fitting, the church grounds and the interior is so classic and made for a beautiful backdrop to this touching wedding. With a slightly tardy vicar, it meant we could capture a nice set of bridesmaids and parent shots before we went in and after the ceremony we completed a set of hilarious group shots, some epic confetti and some portraits of the newly weds before we headed off to the Sculpture Gallery.

Laura’s comment early on about having a ‘traditional English Wedding’ was definitely coming true. With the perfect choice of the Sculpture Gallery at Woburn Abbey with its lovely stately home and the beautiful grounds, I’d like to hope her friends and family from America received a good taste of ‘England’ from this.

Traditional in England for speeches is normally Father of the Bride, Groom, Best Man, however in the USA the Maid of Honour would say a few words and very touching they were indeed with tears from everyone! With Andrew’s father also chosen as his official Best Man, he gave his speech possibly enjoying himself a little too much with the microphone as he both applauded and roasted his son all in one mighty go.

This wedding meant so much to everyone here, I could see all the family and friends really coming together to celebrate this day. I’m really pleased that Laura and Andrew chose me to be part of this time. It also was mentioned by Andrew’s Dad that I am now an ‘Honoury Stover’ and I have an open invite to the States. Be careful, I might take you up on that sir!

Concluding the day with an amazing sunset and reflecting on how awesome it had all been, being allowed to be a part of this beautiful day and to document it for the happy couple to keep for all time, such an honour and a pleasure.

I want to offer Laura and Andrew a massive congratulations and thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer.   If you enjoyed reading this blog and you are planning your own wedding day at the stunning Sculpture Gallery at Woburn Abbey or anywhere else in the country (or abroad), I would love to hear from you!
