Cornwell Manor Summer Wedding

Natalie & Max’s soft blue summer marquee wedding at Cornwell Manor

Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, Natalie and Max’s summer wedding at Cornwell Manor was a perfect blend of elegance, romance, and timeless style. With a soft blue palette and breathtaking florals, their day was effortlessly beautiful from start to finish.

The day was planned to perfection by the amazing Claire Do Monte weddings, who made sure every element of the day flowed seamlessly, and created a magical setting for guests to step in to. I was also joined by the fabulous Jake Burgess, who created a gorgeous film of their day.

A morning of elegance at Cornwell Manor

Natalie and her bridesmaids got ready in the grand rooms of Cornwell Manor, the perfect backdrop for a morning filled with laughter, anticipation, and the finishing touches of bridal elegance.

Jo from HMU Atelier created a stunningly natural hair and makeup look, complementing Natalie’s exquisite Suzanne Neville gown and delicate Manolo Blahnik heels. Her bridesmaids, dressed in beautiful blue Reformation gowns, added a soft, summery charm to the morning preparations.

A floral-filled wedding ceremony in the ballroom garden

The ceremony took place in the beautiful ballroom garden, where a low floral circle and a meadow of blooms by Liberty Lane created a romantic and intimate setting. With the sun casting a golden glow over the gardens, Natalie and Max exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, their love framed by nature’s finest details

Drinks in the Italian gardens & a supercar moment

Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests gathered in the Italian gardens for a relaxed drinks reception, enjoying seasonal canapés and fine champagne courtesy of The Kingham Plough. As guests mingled, Max and his groomsmen made a spectacular entrance, driving their supercars to the front of the manor for an unforgettable photo moment. The sleek lines of the cars against the stately Cornwell Manor made for a striking contrast, capturing Max’s passion for motors in a unique way.

A marquee reception on the croquet lawn of Cornwell Manor

As the sun began to dip, guests were led down to the croquet lawn, where an elegant open-sided marquee from Original Marquees awaited. Inside, Emma Bradstreet Paper & Press had created stunning stationery to complement the refined tablescape, adorned with more of Liberty Lane’s breathtaking florals. The Kingham Plough served a delicious seasonal menu, ensuring every guest enjoyed an exceptional dining experience.

A night of celebration in The Cotswolds

As the evening unfolded, Natalie changed into a sleek Galvan gown, perfect for dancing the night away. The Upshots set the tone for an incredible party, filling the marquee with energy and joy as guests celebrated under the twinkling lights.

A beautiful Cotswolds story tied together

Their wedding day felt even more natural and effortless, thanks to their engagement shoot in the Cotswolds earlier in the year. Having already spent time in front of the camera in a relaxed setting, Natalie and Max were completely at ease, allowing for truly authentic, joy-filled moments to be captured throughout their wedding day. It was a beautiful way to tie together their story, from the early days of planning to the magical celebration at Cornwell Manor. You can view their engagement shoot here.

From start to finish, Natalie and Max’s Cornwell Manor wedding was a true reflection of timeless romance, exquisite details, and unforgettable moments. A day filled with love, style, and a touch of supercar glamour – the perfect summer celebration in the Cotswolds. As a natural and relaxed Cotswolds wedding photographer I always love working at Cornwell Manor. Summer weddings at Cornwell Manor have a special kind of atmosphere—relaxed, intimate, and beautiful in the soft evening light, the perfect setting for natural, relaxed and elegant wedding photography.
