A Timeless Summer Wedding at Wasing Park | Luxury Wedding Photographer in Berkshire

Some weddings are defined by the venue, others by the weather, and a few rare ones—like this one at Wasing Park—are shaped by the energy. From the moment I arrived, I knew this wedding would be a story I’d want to tell again and again. Set against the backdrop of Wasing Park’s stunning gardens, with guests from Romania and France, and a day full of classic elegance and joyful celebration, this summer wedding had all the makings of a luxury dream.

As a luxury wedding photographer, I’m always drawn to weddings that combine timeless details with heartfelt storytelling—and this one delivered on every front.

A Garden Ceremony Under the Summer Sun

The couple chose to exchange vows in Wasing Park’s beautifully kept gardens, and the weather could not have been more perfect. Warm sunshine, a light breeze, and a sky so blue it felt painted. The garden ceremony was intimate and deeply personal, framed by florals in soft, romantic tones. From a photographer’s perspective, natural light this good is a gift—it allowed me to capture every tear, every glance, every hand squeeze with softness and clarity.

There was an undeniable luxury to the entire setting, not because it was flashy, but because it was thoughtful. From the live musicians playing gently as the bride walked down the aisle to the subtle styling that enhanced, rather than overpowered, the natural beauty of the surroundings—every detail was effortlessly refined.

A Truly International Celebration

One of the most beautiful parts of this day was the mix of cultures. With family and friends arriving from Romania and France, the wedding had a warmth and vibrance that transcended language. The laughter was louder, the hugs tighter, and the dance floor? Electric.

I always aim to photograph weddings as they feel—and this one felt like a joyous, elegant homecoming. The speeches were moving (and multilingual!), and I captured some of my favourite images during this part of the day: candid laughter, quiet tears, and proud parents watching on.

Romanian Dancers & Golden Hour Magic

After dinner, as the champagne was flowing and the evening settled in, guests were treated to an unexpected and delightful surprise—traditional Romanian dancers. It was a celebration of heritage and family, and it brought so much colour and rhythm to the evening. I love documenting these kinds of moments because they add such texture to the visual story of the day—joy in motion, tradition in celebration.

The joy was infectious. From polished elegance to barefoot dancing in the grass, this was a luxury wedding that never took itself too seriously—just as it should be.

Blue Hour Couple Portraits: The Perfect Ending

As the sky shifted into the deep blues of twilight, I stole the couple away for a few quiet minutes. These blue hour portraits—taken in the fading light, with just a hint of moonrise—are among my favourites of the day. There’s something magical about that in-between moment when the day is nearly done but the celebration still lingers in the air.

The couple walked hand-in-hand across the lawns of Wasing Park, the soft evening light wrapping around them like a gentle embrace. It was calm, romantic, and completely them.
