Wedding Photography: Combermere Abbey | Vicky & Dan

We had the very great honour of photographing the wedding of Vicky and Daniel earlier in the year. We were with the couple all day and recorded all the celebrations from the bridal preparations in the morning, to the ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Acton and on to the reception at Combermere Abbey.

Prior to the wedding day we did the engagement session (complimentary in all our main wedding photography collections) at Combermere Abbey. This gave us the chance to work with Vicky and dan at the location and look at the locations around the wonderful grounds that they liked in particular to maximise the photography time on the actual wedding day.
