Celestial wedding at Stoke Park Pavilions, Northamptonshire

Amongst the historic splendour of Stoke Park Pavilions in Northamptonshire is a story of long-distance love. A bride prepares to reunite with her partner for their wedding after spending miles apart beneath separate skies…

‘It's just another night

And I’m staring at the moon

I saw a shooting star

And thought of you

I sang a lullaby

By the waterside and know

If you were here I’d sing to you’.

This beautiful autumnal shoot draws inspiration from the moon and stars, from the pale blue embroidered wedding gown to the moon shaped floral installation and hand-written stationery. The deep blue hand-painted watercolour wedding cake echoes the sentiment, its cascades of wafer paper petals representing the outstretched hand of the bride and groom, almost touching fingertip to fingertip.
