A Botleys Mansion wedding has a set piece no other Surrey venue can match: that double staircase. Emily & Frankie used it exactly as it deserves — confetti from both flights, a hundred guests lining the stone balustrades, and the two of them laughing in the middle of it all.
The day ran from bridesmaid preparations to a ceremony in the glasshouse — white florals, big light, a Palladian mansion in Chertsey doing what it does best. I photographed it all documentary-style: unposed, quick on my feet, there for the moments between the moments.
A Botleys Mansion wedding, first look to last dance
Golden hour brought the grounds into play — a white Porsche, long grass, Surrey light turning everything honey — before speeches, a champagne tower and a first dance under festoon lights in the glasshouse. Botleys sits just outside Chertsey, within easy reach of London, and it photographs like a film set from the first frame to the sparkler-lit staircase exit.
I photograph weddings across Surrey — see Northbrook Park for another favourite — and the rest of the UK, one price, unlimited hours. Planning a Botleys Mansion wedding? Check your date and I’ll reply the same day.
