Michelle & Simon

Photography by Eliza Claire
Each location of this classic wedding is breathtaking. From the wedding ceremony at Ely Cathedral, Surrey, to the quintessentially British wedding venue Chippenham Park with its picturesque lakes and gardens overlooked from the marquee reception. All of the prettiness was complimented with delicate pastel shades of pink and mint green fashion and flowers, with the absolute 'pièce de résistance' being Bride Michelle in her stunning Sophia Tolli gown. Not only does she look an absolute vision, but the back detail is truly exquisite. Eliza Claire has brought the story and vision of this adorable wedding and couple to life, so sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Dress

Michelle the Bride: I chose my Sophia Tolli for Mon Cheri dress because the detailing on the bodice and sweetheart neckline are stunning. The back is beautiful too.

Venue

Chippenham Park is a quintessentially British wedding venue: the elegance and formality of the house is balanced out by the relaxed atmosphere of the marquee which overlooks lakes and gardens The orangery smells incredible and feels a bit like something from Alice in wonderland!
