Fun Lavish Summer Wedding at Minley Manor, Hampshire
If you’re planning your Big Day at Minley Manor in Hampshire, you’ll be inspired by this wedding!
Giselle and Liam got married at Minley Manor, which is a stunning manor house in Hampshire with beautiful grounds. The venue was also used as a filming location for the 2007 fantasy movie Stardust.
Giselle and Liam approached their day with “more is more” attitude, and they really wanted to have an incredible party and spoil their guests.
The Wedding Ceremony
The ceremony was a beautiful service outside with the incredible backdrop of the manor house.
They decorated the area with beautiful white florals and a stunning flower arch, which I loved.
The Wedding Reception
After the ceremony, the guests were in for a treat. There were circus performers roaming around, a magician, an event illustrator, live music, a caricaturist to name a few! Every guest also had an opportunity to add their tree to a painting and create a memorable artwork for the couple. Everyone absolutely loved all the entertainment provided by Giselle and Liam, and their guests were having the best time. This is exactly how the couple had envisioned their day, they really wanted to spoil everyone.
Wedding breakfast was another highlight – the couple had booked singing waiters which was a surprise for their guests, who were already one of the most high energy group of people that I had ever encountered. The room went absolutely crazy once we were all joined by the incredibly talented singing waiters, who absolutely delivered. Everyone was on their feet, on top of the tables, with napkins in their hands. It was such a happy chaos!
After their wedding breakfast the couple had their first dance in a tipi set up outside. They had a spectacular live band, definitely one of the best ones that I have had the pleasure to meet during my career as a wedding photographer.
And of course, the couple’s first dance was choreographed, with confetti exploding on the dancefloor in the middle of it. You just couldn’t expect anything less with Giselle and Liam, who really love a good party.
Couple Portrait Photos
Giselle wore a beautiful white dress with a long train, and Liam wore a classic suit and they looked really gorgeous.
The couple were incredibly natural and affectionate with each other, and it was such a pleasure capturing their candid interactions with some gentle guidance from me.
Review
Giselle and Liam got in touch with me about a year before their wedding, saying that they were drawn to my candid photography style and wanted their wedding to be like a huge party for their loved ones.
Here is what the couple said afterwards:
”We can’t thank Yana enough! She captured our wedding day in August! Yana was super friendly, fun and supportive throughout the planning and on the day! She is very professional, took wonderful photos and captured all the fun! We couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you so much Yana!”

Making the most of your wedding photography at Minley Manor
I know the venue well, and can make the most of it. You are in very safe hands, and can just leave the photography part of the day to me, knowing you will get amazing images.
I absolutely adore this venue, and there are so many photo opportunities here. It looks like a French chateau – and my film inspired, flattering colours really complement it.
