Capturing Love: Mandy and Will's Aldwick Estate Wedding

Mandy and Will’s wedding at Aldwick Estate was the perfect blend of relaxed elegance and countryside charm. Nestled among Somerset’s rolling hills and surrounded by working vineyards, this beautiful venue offered the most stunning backdrop for their day.

The couple chose Aldwick for its light-filled barn, gorgeous grounds and the seamless indoor-outdoor flow – ideal for their laid-back celebration. From the heartfelt ceremony to golden hour portraits among the vines, everything felt natural and unforced.

Mandy wore a timeless gown with delicate detailing, while Will kept things classic with a modern twist. Their guests enjoyed local wine, lawn games and laughter as the sun dipped over the hills. The speeches brought both tears and huge belly laughs, and the dance floor was packed from the moment the first song kicked in.

As a documentary wedding photographer, I loved capturing all the real moments – the looks, the movement, the subtle interactions that tell a bigger story. This Aldwick Estate wedding was full of them.
