Basingstoke Wedding Photographer at Oakley Hall

Oakley Hall is a beautiful place for a Basingstoke wedding photographer to work and this was the venue for Hannah and Russell’s Easter Saturday wedding. The day started with bridal preparations in the charming little cottage in the grounds of the hotel. Walking up to the cottage in the morning, I couldn’t resist taking a few shots as it looked so lovely through the trees in the sun light. The light and spacious cottage made an ideal venue for the ladies and the father of the bride to get ready, and a nice setting for a few portraits before they headed up to the hotel for the wedding.

After the ceremony, upstairs in the Steventon Room, everybody took their drinks out into the gardens for some photos. We made full use of the grounds for Hannah and Russell’s couple photos, with the help of a chauffeur driven buggy provided by the hotel. Then it was time for the meal and speeches, before some more romantic shots with the bride and groom after the sun went down.

It was a really fun day, spent with some lovely people and the added bonus for me of a short drive home.
