A stately country manor house with manicured lawns under blue summer skies at Ardington House wedding venue.

Hi there, friends!

Let me start by saying that this venue is an absolute stunner – one of the grandest and most breathtaking places I've had the pleasure to work at, it's like something straight out of a fairytale.


As an Oxfordshire Wedding Photographer, I've had the incredible privilege of capturing some truly beautiful weddings, but Jess and Charlie's big day at Ardington House was simply magical and the entire day had this wonderfully relaxed and joyful vibe that made it an absolute pleasure to photograph.

Ardington House never fails to deliver an amazing wedding!

The morning was a whirlwind of excitement as Jess and her lovely bridesmaids got ready in the house itself. Can you imagine a prettier setting? With those soaring ceilings, gorgeous light-filled rooms, and that jaw-dropping staircase – it's a photographer's dream come true!

Laughter and Love Under the Floral Temple

And then came the main event – oh, my goodness, it was simply gorgeous! A short walk across the lawns and over a bridge to this little island paradise, where Jess and Charlie exchanged their vows under the most beautiful flower-covered temple. Jess looked like an absolute vision, and her adorable giggles during the ceremony just melted my heart.

After the newlyweds were officially hitched, everyone made their way back to the house for drinks on the lawn. It was the perfect way to kick off the celebrations before we all headed over to the marquee for the most amazing wedding breakfast.

Fun, Frolics and Golden Hour

And let me tell you, those muted pink bridesmaid dresses and fun heart sunglasses at sunset were just the cutest! The party got started with Jess and Charlie's first dance and a explosion of confetti to open up the dance floor! It was an absolute blast! Seriously, it was the kind of wedding that just filled your heart with happiness.


Alright, my friends, that's enough gushing from me. Scroll down to see some highlights, and the list of suppliers.
