Beautiful Wedding Photography at Birtsmorton Court

Birtsmorton Court is truly a gem when it comes to wedding venues - it's got something for everyone! As a professional photographer, I've had the joy of capturing many beautiful moments here. The lush gardens make for fantastic group and couple photos, while the breathtaking outdoor settings provide an idyllic stage for ceremonies. And let's not forget the picturesque backdrop that elevates drinks receptions to another level of elegance. I've been privileged to be a part of several stunning weddings at Birtsmorton Court and I can't wait to share some of the highlights from Surbin and Niall's wedding.

On a fun note, I was absolutely buzzing with excitement for this wedding! It promised to be a refreshing twist from the usual, with Surbin and Niall incorporating elements from Surbin's Korean heritage. Her Aunt had even arranged to send over matching hanbok, traditional Korean attire, for them to wear during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast! The anticipation was high and I couldn't wait to see it all unfold.

The Bridal Preps at Birtsmorton Court

Surbin and Niall truly made the most of their special day, having exclusive access to the vast expanse of the wedding venue. Trust me, my step counter was working overtime that day! The day kicked off in the bridal suite, buzzing with the infectious excitement of Surbin and her bridesmaids getting ready. As the bride had her hair and makeup done, I had the delightful opportunity to photograph all those wonderful candid moments shared between Surbin, her mum, and her bridesmaids.

Next on my agenda was exploring the breathtaking venue grounds. With immaculate gardens and a beautiful ceremony area, it was nothing short of a visual delight. Birtsmorton Court offers three diverse options for civil ceremonies: a traditional church, the grandeur of the Great Hall, and our pick for the day, the charmingly picturesque White Garden. It was all so wonderfully enchanting!

I meet up with Nial and his best man and take some photos around the maze-like hedges that lead up to the white garden.

Friends and family begin to filter in and take in the spectacular views that this fairy-tale venue offers.

Then, it was time for the guests to be ushered towards the ceremony area. While it might be a bit of a snug fit, it created the perfect cosy setting for our bride and groom to exchange their vows.

The Ceremony at Birtstmorton Court

Our radiant bride made her entrance following her bridesmaids, and what a sight it was! I had the pleasure of capturing this beautiful moment, all set against the soothing backdrop of gently trickling water fountains. It was nothing short of a picture-perfect scene right out of a romantic novel!
We were truly fortunate to have such splendid weather, making our outdoor wedding even more magical. You know, it's always a bit of a lucky dip with a British Summer, so we were thrilled to have the sun shining down for this wedding.

Surbin and Niall beamed at each other as the celebrant announced they were officially husband and wife. The applause that followed echoed through Birtsmorton Court and across the Malvern Hills!

The Drinks Reception at Birtsmorton Court

I always make sure to give our lovely bride and groom a few private moments right after they're handed their celebratory glasses of champagne. It's such a heartwarming sight when they're enveloped in a sea of hugs and well-wishes from their loved ones. Rest assured, I'll be there to capture these precious, unscripted moments before we transition into the formal group shots.

We decided to have the drinks reception in two wonderful locations - it would have been a real missed opportunity not to utilize the full beauty of these grounds. Our first stop was the inviting lawns, where we took group photos against the backdrop of heartwarming tunes from an amazing acoustic guitarist. Then, we made our way to the Terrace, a south-facing veranda with a view that's hard to beat - it overlooks the serene moat! It truly added to the charm of this wedding.

As planned, Surbin and Niall had a delightful surprise up their sleeves. Towards the end of the drinks reception, they quietly slipped away to change outfits. Their stunning new looks were kept as a surprise for the other guests until they reappeared for the wedding breakfast. While the guests meandered their way to the marquee, I had the pleasure of whisking the radiant couple away for some portraits in their fresh attire. I must say, they managed to strike the perfect balance between stunning elegance and adorable charm!

The Wedding Breakfast at Birtsmorton

Following the traditional wedding day procedure, the wedding guests welcome the bride and groom into the marquee to warm-hearted applause. Their new outfits bring a smile to everyone's faces - I love how they've managed to make the day even more special!

There's a lovely relaxed vibe as guests settle down to a few hours of fine food and drink. I take this moment to find a quiet spot to check through the images I've captured so far, charge some batteries and grab some dinner!

Let me tell you, the food at Birtsmorton was an absolute delight - a dream come true for a wedding photographer like me! With my palate satisfied, I decided to take another leisurely stroll around the venue. It's crucial to make sure I haven't overlooked any of those lovely little details: the gorgeous flowers, the thoughtfully arranged seating plan, the exquisite cake, and other photography opportunities that will add to the day's memories.

Then it's time for the wedding speeches before we segway into the evening wedding reception.

There were some truly touching speeches that day, with heartwarming moments from everyone, including Surbin's Dad. And let's not forget Niall! He took a brave leap and tried his hand at delivering part of his speech in Korean - which was incredibly impressive! These sweet moments definitely added a unique and personal touch to the celebration

Our happily married duo warmly greeted the evening guests, all geared up to celebrate and party the night away! Meanwhile, our day guests enjoyed a charming interlude outdoors, savouring the freshness of the air and partaking in some delightful lawn games before the much-awaited cake cutting and the first dance.

Our thoughtful groom and his radiant bride arranged for a photo booth complete with a variety of props. It's a fantastic way for all the guests to get in on the fun, snap some silly photos, and make unforgettable memories

The wedding party was brimming with joy as the rhythmic music echoed throughout our venue nestled within the beautiful Malvern Hills! The dance floor was alive with laughter and spirited moves, making for some truly unforgettable wedding photos. It was heartwarming to see friends and family contributing their energy and love to a perfect summer evening.

After I had photographed plenty of dance floor action, I said goodbye to our married couple and looked forward to editing these Birtsmorton Court pictures for Surbin and Niall to enjoy.
