Rhiannon & Tom’s Hengrave Hall wedding was one of those days that had it all—sparkle, sentiment, and a whole lot of pink! As a Hengrave Hall wedding photographer, it was an absolute treat to shoot here, with history tucked into every room and some of the most beautiful gardens in Suffolk.

They brought their personalities into every part of the day—from the bookmark-style table plan (a nod to Rhiannon’s life as an author) to a VIP cardboard cutout of their fur baby, Salem, who sadly couldn’t attend but definitely made his presence known.

The ceremony in the Gallery was emotional and full of warmth, followed by garden games, fizz, and the prettiest pink confetti. I loved that Rhiannon gave a speech during dinner—it’s so great seeing more brides take the mic and speak from the heart.

We’d almost given up on golden hour (clouds everywhere), but just before sunset I spotted a streak of pink sky. I shouted, they ran, and we made it just in time for the dreamiest pink sky portrait. Worth every second of that sprint!

One of my favourite parts of the evening was Rhiannon’s second look—not only a dress change, but a gorgeous ponytail styled by her hairdresser who came back especially for the evening. It gave her a moment to reset with her bridesmaids, and the reveal to Tom was such a sweet moment.

Then came pizza, ice cream, sparklers and fireworks. Honestly, just the perfect end to an epic day.
