Wow! Wow! Wow!......This wedding had it all!

The venue, the VW camper, confetti, a dove release, sparklers, pianist, impromptu singing and dancing during the wedding breakfast, live music, magician, glow sticks, the list goes on.....but more important than all of that; the cutest couple, madly in love, celebrating their special day with the most amazing group of family & friends.

Matty and Lauren had the most amazing wedding at Astley Bank Hotel and I had the pleasure of capturing it.

Get comfortable because this is a long one, so rather than talking about it, I'll let the images tell the story......

Congratulations Matty and Lauren and thank you again for having me along for the wild ride.

The history of Astley Bank Hotel is rich with tales of elegance, heritage, and transformation. Originally constructed as a private residence in the early 19th century, the mansion was built in the Georgian architectural style, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of its time.

Over the years, Astley Bank changed hands several times, with each owner leaving their mark on the property. In the late 19th century, it became the residence of the prominent industrialist and philanthropist Thomas Brooks, who contributed significantly to the development of the local area.

In the early 20th century, Astley Bank underwent a transformation and was converted into a hotel, catering to the growing demand for luxurious accommodations in the region. Throughout the decades, it remained a popular destination for travellers seeking refined hospitality and picturesque surroundings.

In recent years, Astley Bank Hotel has evolved into a premier wedding venue while still retaining its historic charm and elegance. The mansion's stunning architecture, lush gardens, and scenic views make it the perfect setting for couples looking to exchange vows in a romantic and timeless atmosphere.

Today, Astley Bank Hotel continues to enchant guests with its combination of old-world charm and modern amenities. Whether hosting a lavish wedding celebration, a corporate event, or a romantic getaway, the hotel offers a unique blend of heritage and hospitality that ensures an unforgettable experience for all who visit.
