Summer Black Tie Wedding at Hyde House

Gabby and Andy’s summer wedding at Hyde House was the perfect blend of sophistication, elegance and fun. Hyde House’s charming Cotswolds setting offered an idyllic backdrop, a venue I always enjoy revisiting.

The day began with Gabby and Andy getting ready on-site, surrounded by close friends and excitement. Fallon Hair styled Gabby’s chic updo, complemented by flawless makeup by Liv Atie. Gabby wore a stunning Milla Nova gown from Isabella Grace, paired beautifully with Louboutin shoes, while Andy impressed in a tailored Hugo Boss suit, also sporting matching Louboutin’s.

The ceremony in Grange Barn was elegantly adorned with floral arrangements by Gabby’s talented friend, Emily Douglass. Their beloved family dog made a charming appearance, adding a personal, playful touch to their vows.

Post-ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks on the sunny lawn, the perfect moment to relax and celebrate. Dinner followed in the main barn, which had been tastefully styled with lush florals and elegant draping by Styletopia, creating an inviting atmosphere. Flour & Fold’s cake provided a sweet highlight to the evening meal.

As night fell, Velvet Soul kept the dance floor alive, creating a lively atmosphere. A standout moment was when one of the bridesmaids delivered an unforgettable rendition of “Proud Mary,” igniting the party and filling the dance floor instantly.

It was such a fun filled day to be a part of, and I was joined by the lovely videographer Charli May who captured the day on video. I always love capturing weddings at Hyde House, it’s such a stunning cotswolds venue from the Victorian House, and light and spacious barns – ideal for natural, relaxed wedding photography

Before their wedding Gabby and Andy had a couples shoot together in The Cotswolds to celebrate their engagement, and feel relaxed in front of the camera. You can view the gallery of their couples shoot at Broadway here.
