Well…..it’s not every day that you pho­to­graph a wed­ding in a Cathedral.

In fact, it’s not very often than ANYONE pho­tographs a wed­ding at Worces­ter Cathe­dral as appar­ent­ly they only hold about 4 or 5 each year!

That’s prob­a­bly because you first have to get writ­ten per­mis­sion from the Arch­bish­op of Can­ter­bury, as you do 🙂

In this case, the Bride used to be in the cathe­dral choir giv­ing her the appro­pri­ate cre­den­tials to receive Bish­opric approval and it was full steam ahead with plan­ning the rest of the day.

So….when your wed­ding cer­e­mo­ny is tak­ing place at a build­ing which dates back to the 11th cen­tu­ry you need some­where pret­ty spe­cial for the recep­tion and boy did Philip­pa & Daniel do well!

As you’ll see if you read on, I got to expe­ri­ence Whit­bourne Hall Wed­ding Pho­tog­ra­phy, which is just amazing.

Been to ancient worlds
I’ve scoured the whole uni­verse
And caught the first train home
To be at her side
No mat­ter where I roam
I will return to my Eng­lish rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she

Philip­pa’s fam­i­ly have ties to the Worces­ter­shire going back gen­er­a­tions and she start­ed her day in her child­hood home with quite a houseful.

Par­ents, sib­lings, Brides­maids, Flower Girls, Page Boys, Aunts, Uncles, it was a hive of activ­i­ty and full of hus­tle and bustle.

Then of course…. off the Church…..a very big Church!!!

It’s no sur­prise to say that Worces­ter Cathe­dral is impres­sive, stun­ning is a good work to describe it. The Cathe­dral actu­al­ly stays open to the pub­lic dur­ing the cer­e­mo­ny, but sec­tion used for the ser­vice is closed off from visitors.

Hear­ing Jerusalem sung in a church is always pret­ty stir­ring, hear­ing it sung by a choir adds grav­i­tas, hear­ing it sung by the Worces­ter Cathe­dral choir IN the Cathe­dral is one of the most amaz­ing things I’ve ever heard.

Sim­ply incredible.

A crowd had gath­ered dur­ing the cer­e­mo­ny to watch from across the bar­ri­er rope so by the time the Bride & Groom start­ed the reces­sion­al it felt a lit­tle bit like a celebri­ty wedding!

After the cer­e­mo­ny, time to head out of Worces­ter towards the Worcestershire/Herefordshire bor­der and the glo­ri­ous Whit­bourne Hall.

It’s built in the Pal­la­di­an style and I thought I was walk­ing into a Jane Austen nov­el. With an Ital­ian Parterre Gar­den and Adam style decor the house it’s stun­ning, the per­fect place for a coun­try wed­ding reception.

With the groom work­ing in hos­pi­tal­i­ty the food and drink was real­ly impor­tant to him. The guests def­i­nite­ly weren’t dis­ap­point­ed. Tasty canapes on the lawn and then inside for beef welling­ton and lat­er on an amaz­ing dessert buffet.

Some­how dur­ing the plan­ning the process the Bride also man­aged to find time for a pho­to­shoot with Coun­try Life magazine!

Whit­bourne Hall wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy is just the best!

“Dear Nick, We just want­ed to say thank you so much for pho­tograph­ing our wedding. 

On the big day itself you have man­aged to bring all of the minute details to life whilst cap­tur­ing some of the most pow­er­ful human emo­tions in the most won­der­ful way 

Thank you so much ”
