Autumn/Winter Styled Wedding Shoot With a Country Hunting Theme, at The Mill, Elstead, Surrey

Last November I was very excited to get involved in a styled wedding photo shoot, organised by the lovely Lyn from Lily Marie Weddings and Events. We wanted something wintery to match the season ahead, as so many weddings are focused on the summer months, and we thought the Mill would be the perfect place to match our theme, with big wooden beams and autumnal trees.

With a perfect dream team of local wedding suppliers (full list below) we created a fabulous look with our real life married models, Rachel and Erick. We wanted something that matched the colours going from Autumn into Winter, so the hunting theme worked well with the tweed jackets, feathered hat and faux fur shrug.

The good news was that Perfect Wedding Magazine agreed to feature the shoot exclusively (yay!), the bad news was that we’d have to wait this long before we could share any of the images, but it was worth the wait!!! One of the images also featured on the front cover of Life in Farnham Magazine (February 2015 50th issue!), which was very exciting!

We now have a two page spread this month in Perfect Wedding Magazine….(page 188/189 issue 122 Oct 2015) – Go buy a copy! 

I can’t wait to photograph Chris and Nikki’s wedding here soon… you’ll have to watch this space for a blog about their recent pre-wedding photo shoot, and then their wedding!

Here’s some of my favourite images from the shoot…

The Mill at Elstead’sstory dates back to 1647, when the original building burned down. That same year, the Mill had been occupied by Oliver Cromwell’s roundheads.

A new mill was built in 1648 and is believed to have functioned as a corn mill until the late 18th Century.

Later, in the 19th Century, it was acquired by the Appleton family – and used for making braid for military uniforms. The 1851 census shows that 100 people worked here, which perhaps explains why the Cupola on the roof was installed around that time – the bell used to call people to work!
