Fairytales and Full Dance Floors at All Saints Hotel
We recently had the pleasure of capturing a truly beautiful wedding at All Saints Hotel in Bury St Edmunds, and let us tell you—it was absolutely stunning.
Sometimes, we walk into a wedding and can immediately see the amount of heart and soul poured into the planning. This was definitely one of those days. The bride did an incredible job styling the venue; she truly had an amazing eye for detail. From the romantic setup of the ceremony to the atmosphere in the reception rooms, she thought of absolutely everything. It honestly felt like stepping into a modern fairytale.
The Unwritten Rule: Keep Dancing!
While the details were soft and romantic, the party was anything but quiet!
One thing that really stood out to us was the energy in the room. It felt like there was a strict rule for the night: Never let the dance floor be empty. And let us tell you, that rule was followed to the letter! The floor was packed, the energy was palpable, and the love in the room was contagious.
For us, this is the dream scenario. High energy means genuine smiles, crazy moves, and magical candid moments to capture.
Overall, it was an unforgettable day filled with love, laughter, and joy. We feel so grateful to have been a part of such a special celebration. Here’s to many more beautiful weddings like this one!
The Imperial March & Garden Games
When it came to the ceremony, the couple injected some serious personality into the proceedings. Just before Harriet made her grand entrance, they played the Star Wars Imperial March! It caught everyone off guard and had the whole room laughing. It really set the tone for a day that was as fun as it was romantic.
Thankfully, the rain held off just long enough for us to sneak out into the venue’s lovely gardens. We managed to get the group shots done and capture some relaxed portraits of the newlyweds.
The rest of the afternoon was just pure chill. The kids were entertained with outdoor lawn games, while the adults relaxed on the patio with drinks. The reception party was kicked off by a talented guitar duo who kept the dance floor packed. Seeing everyone so relaxed, laughing, and embracing the community spirit really reminded us why we love this job.
Harriet and Rob’s day was a beautiful reminder that whether you are indoors or out, it’s the people (and maybe a little John Williams music) that make a wedding unforgettable.
