The Glass House, Staining Lodge Wedding Photographer

I was absolutely buzzing when Ellena and Darcy asked me to be their The Glass House, Staining Lodge wedding photographer. The excitement hit me even harder when I rolled up to their house for the bridal preparations. Seriously, I don’t think I was prepared for how stunning it was inside! Darcy, being a builder, had been hard at work renovating the place, and wow, he really knocked it out of the park. It’s so beautiful and stylish. Such a beautiful backdrop for the day ahead! And while Darcy transformed their nest, Ellena was busy plotting the perfect wedding. I had chatted with her beforehand, and as a fellow mini dachshund owner, I was excited to meet their two little sausages, Tallulah and Martha.

The day was just filled with good vibes right from the start. Ellena made sure I felt part of the crew, even including me in the personalized gifts for her bridesmaids. You could just feel the love and excitement in the air, which made my job so much easier. Then, when we headed over to The Glass House at Staining Lodge, the weather decided to throw a curveball and drench us with rain. But you know what? This couple didn’t let it put a damper on their spirits at all. After a beautiful civil ceremony, we snagged some stunning portraits by the fireplace in the side dining room. I was so thankful for that room!

Rain. Who cares?

But….. Ellena isn’t one to shy away from an adventure! She was happy to go outside for portraits, despite the rain. I mean, who doesn’t love a bold shot in a downpour? We dashed out for a quick five minutes in the torrential rain, and honestly, those images turned out to be some of my favorites! How stunning did they look? After their first dance, Ellena changed into a second wedding dress (technically third as she arrived in a white dress from her hen party) that was perfect for the dance floor. You could feel the energy surge as the party kicked off.

To top it all off, I got to work with some of my favorite wedding suppliers, which always makes the day smoother and more fun. There’s something about all that talent coming together that elevates the whole experience! So all in all, it was a fabulous day, rain and all.
