Claire & Lee | Rustic Countryside Wedding Theme Photos at Aswanley Wedding Venue
I’m really excited to tell you about Claire and Lee’s recent wedding at the beautiful Aswanley wedding venue near Huntly. The day was filled with rustic charm and countryside magic, making it truly unforgettable.
The Heartfelt Connection to The Wedding Venue
Aswanley is more than just a picturesque venue for me. My husband and I got married at the incredible Aswanley wedding venue ourselves, and returning to capture another wedding day here feels like revisiting the chapter where my own journey began. But enough about me, let’s focus on Claire and Lee’s day.
Claire’s Excitement
Let’s dive into the heart of the matter – Claire, one of the most excited and supportive brides I’ve had the pleasure to work with. From engaging with my posts to sliding into my DMs, Claire’s enthusiasm turned our collaboration into a genuine celebration.
The Day Begins: Claire’s Bridal Preparations
The day started with the soft morning light shining into the room where Claire, dressed in a stunning wedding gown, was getting ready for a day of celebration.
Surrounded by her bridesmaids and loved ones, there was a sense of joy, storytelling, and excitement for the moments to come. It wasn’t just about the dress or the details; it was about the close bonds of friendship and family that surrounded Claire as she prepared to say ‘I do.’
Countryside Vows: A Rustic Union
Next, let’s talk about the stunning backdrop for Claire and Lee’s wedding photos – the picturesque Aswanley wedding venue. With its rustic charm, this venue was the perfect setting for the entire celebration, from the heartfelt vows during the ceremony to the joyous moments during the dinner and dancing.
Golden Hour Wanderlust
Claire and Lee, always up for adventure, decided to explore the surroundings. Down the driveway, we stumbled upon a hidden gem – a green bridge overlooking the serene River Deveron. The resulting photos are nothing short of magical, capturing the essence of their rustic countryside wedding theme.
Dinner and Dancing: A Celebration Like No Other
Let’s talk about something unique that Claire and Lee decided to do – they chose to skip traditional speeches.
I’ll admit, I was a bit worried at first. Would I miss those classic shots of wedding guests tearing up or laughing during the speeches?
But their surprise of singing waiters turned out to be a hit. It made the dinner room feel more relaxed, and the photos turned out even more splendid. It was all unplanned, real, and a collection of moments to cherish.
Unveiling Personalities
Claire and Lee planned a day that truly reflected who they are. From the rustic elegance of Aswanley to the non-traditional twists, their wedding was a celebration of love, laughter, and the spirit of breaking free from the ordinary. As a wedding photographer who loves working with down-to-earth couples, this one was truly spectacular.
