As a Surrey wedding photographer, Horsley Towers is one of my favourite venues in the area. This was the second wedding of the year at Horsley Towers and it has so many possibilities for imaginative photographs.

Anna and Jonathan got married at the All Saints Church Ockham before going to the wedding reception at Horsley Towers. Being a winter wedding on the 10th December there wasn’t much time for photos outside so we had to work quickly.  We had a planning session on the week of the wedding and worked out when we needed to get to the venue and how to make most use of the available light.  On the day it all worked out well and although you deviate from plans and have to be flexible it is good to have a plan in the first place.

Photography at Horsley Towers has a lot of possibilities and we started off in the chapel before heading to the cloisters.  In the cloisters we met some of the bridal party for a confetti shot before heading off around the lake. We managed to get the sun setting for the view over the lake with the towers behind.

After the group shots it was reception drinks followed by the meal.  The speeches were long which is great for wedding photography as it gives the opportunity to capture lots of candid shots.  After the speeches, cutting the cake and first dance I stayed until around 10.30 when the couple went outside Horsley Towers with their friends to light lanterns and sparklers.  I will always stay to capture events like this as these fun shots will look great in the album.
