Capturing Love at the majestic strathmore Mansion
In mid-October, amidst the crisp fall air, I had the privilege of documenting a unique and intimate wedding at the enchanting Strathmore Mansion. This celebration took a refreshing departure from tradition as the couple opted to forgo the formal ceremony and dive straight into the moments of togetherness, culminating in a reception filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.
The historic charm of the mansion lent an air of elegance to the pre-wedding preparations, as the April and Brendan prepared together with family. The couple decided to have a 'first look' on the picturesque staircase above the main hall surrounded by priceless art pieces. The genuine emotions, the shared glances, and the unspoken words spoke volumes as the couple took a moment to savor the realization that they were about to embark on a lifelong journey together.
From there the couple took a sunset stroll in the back garden, opting to have formal portraits against the regal pillars and clean cut lawn of the Strathmore. After sharing a dance and a few short vows they invited their families for group portraits.
In a bold departure from tradition, the couple chose to skip the formal ceremony and proceed directly to the celebration. This decision allowed them to prioritize what truly mattered – the love they shared and the company of their closest family and friends. The intimate setting of Strathmore Mansion perfectly accommodated this choice, offering a cozy and welcoming environment for the couple to exchange vows and celebrate their union in a way that felt authentic to them.
Documenting this small wedding at Strathmore Mansion in October was a privilege that allowed me to witness the beauty of love in its purest form. The couple's decision to skip the ceremony and focus on the essence of their connection made this celebration a testament to the idea that weddings are about the people and the moments they share. Strathmore Mansion, with its timeless charm, provided the perfect canvas for capturing these precious memories, and I am grateful to have been part of this intimate and unforgettable affair.
