Lewis & Steph’s wedding at Stockton House

Hey world! Today is the day you get to see Lewis & Steph’s beautiful wedding at Stockton House, Shifnal.

You know it’s going to be an epic wedding when your bride is also a Steph (and just as epic haha)! This wedding was visually beautiful as well as being so personal to Lewis & Steph. From the vows, to the gifts for guests, everything was Steph & Lewis and this is what a wedding is all about! Be prepared to be inspired!

The beautiful Stockton House, SHifnal

Lewis & Steph chose Stockton House for their wedding day. I remember Steph telling me all about the venue when it was brand new and still having finishing touches made to the property. Steph had such great vision for how she wanted her wedding day to look and feel for everyone.

Stockton House is a beautiful listed Georgian house nestled in the Shropshire countryside. The staff are fantastic! Making sure everyone is catered for, looked after and making sure the couple are having th best day of their lives!

Lewis & Steph both looked amazing!

Lewis looked so dapper in his New and Lingwood velvet jacket paired with black trousers and shoes. Sophistication to its finest!

Steph looked radiant in her glam Stevie Nicks vibe wedding dress from Along Came Eve. The dress was perfection! Steph did her own makeup (girl’s got skills!) with her hair styled with beautiful wavy curls, she was STUNNING!

Lewis & Steph’s ceremony was so bloody cute! They’re so bloody cute!

The moment Lewis saw Steph at the top of the aisle, the tears and smile on his face! Getting your bride to give you a little spin to take in how beautiful she is, Oh Lewis, this was the sweetest thing! Both Steph and Lewis wrote personal vows… the first line in both of their vows, they called each other darling. They didn’t plan it, it just happened. Moments like these are the definition of love!

We all know what coming next. One of my favourite thing to photograph… CONFETTI!

After Steph & Lewis had some time to chat with their guests and soak in that they just got married, it was time to head down to the lawn at Stockton House and throw some confetti! woo hoo! The joy of confetti just makes my heart so happy!

Stockton House is such a gorgeous venue for a summer wedding! The patio space is perfect with its outside bar and seating for people to have a cocktail in the sun. It felt like you were just at a friends house having the best party… albeit your friends MASSIVE Georgian house!

One of Steph’s friends sang some of Steph’s favourite songs whilst everyone was relaxing at the drink reception. Steph was totally ready to get the party started. That’s how Butty brides do it folks!

Steph’s vision for their wedding day was beautiful. The colour palette was so fresh and elegant. Helping bringing Lewis and Steph’s wedding to life was the fantastic White Fern Weddings One of the details Steph and Lewis had on their wedding day that I am absolutely in love with was the guests gifts. Each guest was given a book, chosen specifically for that guest. Steph and Lewis also got each other a book and of course both nailed the choice, to the point of tears (there was a lot of happy tears at Steph and Lewis’ wedding).

After lewis and Steph’s gorgeous meal created by the team at Stockton House, it was time for the speeches… The epic speeches!

Everyone who did a speech were fantastic. They were heartfelt and hilarious at the same time, which is how you do a speech! Lewis’ twin sister and best person nailed it with having everyone in fits of laughter! When Steph got up to thank all the special people in their life and no one was prepared for her to bring the room to tears! There was so much love!

Steph had an organic, wildflower vibe for her wedding flowers and they looked stunning. The amazing Watkin and Berry create such beautiful bouquets, table flowers and arrangements dotted around the venue. Stockton House has lovely features that when flowers are added, brings the space to life!

couples portraits… oh I love them. Capturing you both in this bubble of pure love is just magical. This was definitely Lewis and Steph. I would hear Steph telling Lewis how she had never been as happy as on their wedding day. Hearing them tell each other just how much they loved each other… then burst into laughter at each other as they crazy twerk in a field (I may have encouraged this). Steph and Lewis brought their A game and smashed their portraits.

Group photos can be so much fun and Steph and Lewis are proof of this. I love to capture you and your squad having fun, being yourselves and looking gorgeous! Then throw in a popping Prosecco photo and BOOM you have awesome group photos!

Then it was time for Lewis, Steph and all their guests to party the night away at Stockton House. This was a wedding that was bringing the party… And I am here for this vibe!

Steph and Lewis had such a beautiful day filled with so much love, hey, it even made me cry! I cannot express how much joy I had capturing their wedding day! Steph and Lewis, you two are superstars!
