The venue

Branches Park is a countryside estate within the rolling hills of Suffolk. A stones throw from Newmarket, it is perfectly placed for your wedding day dreams to be realised.

When you book Branches Park you will get exclusivity, the barns, the woodland and pretty parkland all to yourselves.

Maddie & Dan fell in love with this unique venue as soon as they saw it and it fitted their wedding day perfectly.

Preparations

Maddie got ready in The Pond Barn, which sits on the edge of the water. This light and airy guesthouse is the ideal place for you and your bridal party to stay. The natural light that floods this space makes your photographs look incredible (your make up artist will thank you too)!

To say Maddie looked sensational is an understatement. Her elegant hairstyle created by Brooke of Boho Beauty Box and flawless make up by the lovely Nichola J together with her Ellis Bridal dress from Silk & Maple made her look and feel a million dollars.

Dan got ready at home and had lots of help from his groomsmen. They arrived at Branches Park in style driving vintage cars Dan has restored with his Dad.

Violet & Flo florists did an incredible job of providing so much colour and variation within the stunning bridal bouquets and button holes.

Ceremony and celebration time

Wonderful celebrant Susan McGregor led the ceremony with warmth and humour, making everyone feel at ease.

After confetti on exit it was time for the drinks reception and the much anticipated arrival of Monty, Maddie & Dan’s adorable spaniel.

Group photographs, couple portraits and mingling followed, before heading inside to cut the cake. So, Maddie’s super talented mum had made the cake! Speeches and the wedding breakfast preceded the most fantastic golden hour, the weather for early April was wall to wall sunshine the whole day long.

I’ll let my images show you just how fantastic this wedding day truly was.
