Roger & Hanako – Hengrave Hall

Being a wedding photographer at Suffolk wedding venue Hengrave Hall is always a pleasure and Roger and Hanako’s wedding was no exception.

It is unusual for me to be able to cover both the Bride and Groom preparations without having to get in my car! The two separate dedicated rooms for the bride, Elizabeth Suite, and for the groom is quite unique, this does allow me to capture a more complete story of the day than usual.

A beautiful intimate civil ceremony in the Library was followed by a traditional blessing held in the Hall’s own charming little chapel. Although plans for partying in the gardens may have been curtailed by the weather that did not deter anyone from ensuring a fantastic day was had by all with celebrations going on well in to the evening and culminating with some fantastic energetic dancing. Quite simply exquisite…………

Everything about this spectacular venue from its supremely luxurious chambers to the Grand Halls, and not to mention the extensive grounds with private lake, is guaranteed to give every Bride and Groom the most unbelievable day imaginably.
