It had long been my dream to have the opportunity to photograph a wedding at Aynhoe Park in the Cotswolds. It really is a venue like no other and promises an extraordinary setting for a wedding party. It offers a ‘stage set for a spectacle’ and no levels of decor or extravagance look amiss in this beautiful setting which is crammed with art and details that make it a wedding photographers dream. At just 50 minutes from London it’s also a perfect out of town wedding venue.

Unusually I attended the rehearsal a few days before to meet the characterful Father Peter who provided the most entertaining and authentic service I've been to in a while. He made the wedding about Jack and Alice entirely. It felt incredibly personal and accessible. Fortunately for October we had a lovely warm day and so walked straight from the church and on to St Johns. I've never eaten there before so it was a real treat to be seated with the guests and have a chance to enjoy some of Fergus Henderson's renowned food.
