An Autumnal Fairytale at Carden Park – Kate & Dan’s Wedding Story
On a crisp, golden October day, Kate and Dan tied the knot at the stunning Carden Park Hotel in Cheshire, surrounded by the beauty of autumn. The vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows of the season's foliage set the perfect backdrop for their romantic outdoor ceremony.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this wedding was going to be full of joy, love, and unforgettable moments. The sun filtered through the trees, casting a warm, golden glow over the entire celebration, making it feel like something out of a fairytale.
A Picture-Perfect Outdoor Ceremony
Kate and Dan chose to exchange their vows outdoors, and what better place than Carden Park’s picturesque grounds, with the serene beauty of autumn surrounding them? The sun was shining brightly, creating a soft, magical light that made every moment feel ethereal.
As Kate walked down the aisle, the gentle autumn breeze added a touch of magic to the day, making for some truly breathtaking photos and video moments. With a few happy tears and lots of smiles, Kate and Dan said "I do" amidst the stunning natural beauty of the estate.
The Stunning Dress: A Timeless Look for a Beautiful Bride
Kate’s dress was nothing short of extraordinary. She chose a stunning strapless, lace, and corseted gown by Martin Thornburg—a piece that exuded elegance and sophistication. The intricate lace detailing combined with the fitted corset gave her a figure-flattering silhouette, while the cathedral-length veil added an extra layer of drama and grace as it cascaded behind her. It was the perfect choice for an autumn wedding, with the lace and nude undertone complementing the surroundings beautifully.
A Cascade of Confetti
One of the most visually stunning moments of Kate and Dan’s ceremony was the cascade of biodegradable paper confetti that followed their vows. The confetti, in rich shades of reds, pinks, whites, and oranges, was the perfect touch to complement the autumnal theme. As the couple walked down the aisle, their guests showered them with the vibrant confetti, creating a whimsical and colorful display that mirrored the stunning fall foliage around them.
The biodegradable paper confetti not only looked beautiful but also aligned with Carden Park's desire to keep their couple's weddings eco-friendly. It added a magical, cinematic effect as it fluttered through the air, making for some of the most memorable photos of the day.

Kate & Dan's beautiful styling included gold beaded charger plates, with little bags of their favourite sweets, Jelly Beans, as wedding favours. A lovely personal touch, and a little pick-me-up for their guests ahead of the evening festivities.
And, what an evening it was! Kate & Dan's guests were most definitely up for a boogie. I love getting stuck in on the dancefloor to capture those epic moves from all of the guests.
