Stacey + Darrell | Grafton Manor

Stacey & Darrell chose a complete venue for their wedding celebrations – the wonderful Grafton Manor . Grafton is quite unique as the beautiful Manor house has as an adjoining chapel where Stacey & Darrell had their marriage blessed after the civil ceremony in the library. The grounds around this superb manor house are a dream for photography with walled gardens, rolling lawns, a stream & bridge and a very picturesque lake – and that’s just the back garden!! We started today’s proceedings sharing a first view of Stacey’s stunning dress from The Wedding House at Walsall with Stephen staying with her for final bride prep shots, whilst I was capturing Darrell & his groomsmen in their perfectly tailored suits from Dapper Dan. Once the guests were seated Stacey, carrying an arrangement from Herbarium, made her entrance. After the ceremony they joined their family & friends in the Chapel before family photos and ice cream on the front lawn. After taking full advantage of the lovely grounds it was into the purpose built marquee for the wedding breakfast and on to first dance. The table theme was Egypt with a very novel cake from Expecially for You complimenting this. The Staff at Grafton were superb with particular mention for todays organiser – Natalie. Thank you.
