Elegant Wedding at Ashridge House
Georgina & Kyle’s Beautiful & Elegant Wedding
Ashridge House in Berkhamsted, Herts, is an exceptional venue that blends history, elegance, and natural beauty. Once a royal residence to King Henry VIII and Princess Elizabeth I, it is now an award-winning wedding venue. Within 190 acres of landscaped gardens, Ashridge House offers an incredible setting for an Elegant Wedding.
Georgina and Kyle’s wedding was a perfect showcase of what makes this venue so unique. From the personal touches the couple added to their day to the stunning surroundings of the Grade I neo-Gothic house, this wedding was truly unforgettable. Let’s dive into the details and explore why Ashridge House is ideal for an elegant wedding celebration.
A Perfect Start to an Elegant Wedding Day
The day began with Georgina getting ready in one of Ashridge House’s luxurious bridal suites. Her four closest friends and her mum joined her, creating a relaxed and calm atmosphere. This gave me the perfect opportunity to photograph her stunning wedding dress and all the intricate details that make an Elegant Wedding so memorable. Meanwhile, Kyle prepared in a medium blue checked suit, looking sharp and handsome.

Capturing Memories in the Stunning Grounds
Their ceremony occurred on the grandest and most famous staircase at Ashridge House, with the wedding party elegantly arranged on either side. Georgina’s mother had the honour of walking her down the stairs—a moment filled with love and pride.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed canapés and mingled while we prepared for the confetti walk at the foot of the grand staircase. A unique portrait session for Georgina and Kyle followed this.
Ashridge House’s grounds are a dream come true for any wedding photographer. The Rhododendron Walk, the English Rose Garden, and the enchanting paths across the estate offer endless opportunities for breathtaking photos. As Kyle proposed to Georgina in the Rose Garden, these grounds also hold special meaning for the couple. Capturing this connection added an extra layer of sentiment to their portraits.
Unique Highlights of an Elegant Wedding
One of the standout moments of the day was a surprise performance by the Tailored Tenors. Disguised as pizza delivery staff, they wowed guests with their incredible singing, adding an element of fun and entertainment to the day. Their “You’re The One I Want ” performance from Grease had everyone joining in, creating a lively and joyous atmosphere.
Georgina and Kyle’s first dance was another unforgettable moment. They had choreographed a routine to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” which was elegant and heartfelt. As their wedding photographer, capturing these emotional and magical moments was a true honour.

Message from Georgina & Kyle…
We found Natalie at a wedding fair and picked her as our photographer after seeing some examples of her work and talking to her. We booked a package with a pre-wedding shoot, which we highly recommend as we got to know Natalie a bit better and got more comfortable in front of the camera before our big day. We absolutely loved all of our pre-shoot pictures, and Natalie was very organised in the lead-up to our wedding.
On our wedding day, Natalie was straight to work with her second photographer, leaving us to get ready for as long as possible before our getting ready shots. She knew the venue already, meaning she was very organised and knew where the best spots were in advance. After the wedding, she sent an email explaining her timeline and quickly got our sneak peek pictures. We absolutely love them and can’t wait to get access to our full gallery in a few weeks. I highly recommend Natalie and her photography style. She’ll put you at ease, which is needed on your big day!
