Burghley House wedding photography

The lovely Sarah & Mark Jackson (aka sparky) were married at Oakham School Chapel in Rutland on 20th November 2010 and their reception was at the stunning Burghley House in Stamford. www.burghley.co.uk – I may have to use the word lovely a lot in this post.

Sarah got ready at her parents house and Mark at Lord Nelson House no less, in Oakham. Sarah wore a lovely figure hugging dress and Mark looked resplendent in his top hat and tails. Sarah was only a 5 minute drive to the Chapel and Mark a short walk.

The service was attended by close family and friends and then everybody made their way, through the mist, to the stunning Burghley House in Stamford. We chased each other around the 40 acres estate and did some photography in the Burghley grounds and with the dark coming in early everybody was ushered into the Great Hall for dinner and speeches.

The party got into full swing after Mr & Mrs Jackson and had their first dance and while the guests got their groove on we headed in to the lovely Burghley House State rooms for some bride and groom pictures. Starting on Hells Staircase, an 11 month project completed by Antonio Verrio working mainly alone, having lost his assistants to more financially secure projects. We then went into The Heaven Room were the loves and excesses of the Gods of Mount Olympus are laid bare for all to see – lovely.

I think that was 5 so lets make it 6 and look at some lovely wedding photography – feel free to leave a comment if you wish. Or view the 7 min slide show here:-
