Nestled in the heart of the East Riding of Yorkshire, Hotham Hall provided the perfect setting for Anna & Lewis’ elegant summer wedding. Under the golden warmth of a late July sun, the couple exchanged vows at the picturesque Hotham Church, surrounded by 165 of their closest friends and family.
From the moment guests arrived, it was evident that this was no ordinary wedding —it was a celebration of love, style, and sophistication. The historic charm of Hotham Church, adorned with soft floral arrangements, provided a breathtaking backdrop as Anna, in a stunning Caroline Castigliano gown, made her way down the aisle. With delicate Valentino accessories completing her timeless bridal look, she was the epitome of classic elegance. Lewis, dashing in a morning suit, stood at the altar with a radiant smile.
Following a heartfelt ceremony, guests made their way to the reception at Hotham Hall, where a beautifully styled marquee awaited. Every detail had been carefully curated to exude luxury and romance—blousy florals in soft pastels cascaded over tables, elegant candles flickered, and tasteful bows adorned the table scapes, creating a setting reminiscent of a bygone era of grandeur.
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, we stole away for golden hour portraits —perhaps one of the most breathtaking parts of the day. The warm, ethereal light bathed the couple in a golden glow, enhancing the romance of the moment.
The evening unfolded with an air of effortless sophistication. Champagne flowed as guests mingled, laughter echoing beneath the marquee. The couple’s first dance was a moment of pure magic, with fairy lights twinkling overhead as they swayed to a carefully chosen melody, lost in the moment.
As the evening celebrations continued, guests were treated to an exquisite feast, laughter-filled speeches, and a night of dancing beneath the stars. Every element of the day was a perfect reflection of Anna & Lewis’ impeccable taste and deep love for one another.
Capturing their wedding was an absolute privilege—moments filled with raw emotion, refined beauty, and unforgettable memories. Their Hotham Hall celebration was not just a wedding; it was a timeless love story brought to life in the most exquisite way.
