IVY LODGE


Megan and Jack's Ivy Lodge, Cirencester Park wedding


Megan and Jack’s wedding at the gorgeous Ivy Lodge in Cirencester Park was a brilliant day from start to finish. Set amongst beautiful English parkland, with its characterful barn and castle-like exterior, it’s a pretty special spot to get married.

This was actually my third wedding with Jack’s side of the family, so it was lovely to see so many familiar faces again. They’re a brilliant bunch and always great fun to photograph! Megan looked absolutely stunning, Jack was looking very dapper, and their little boy Ralph was stealing hearts in his tiny suit (and quite possibly a few photos, too!).


It was a fantastic day full of lovely people, plenty of laughs and, just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, a rainbow appeared. Because apparently, the weather wanted in on the celebrations too!
