There can’t be many weddings combining Greek and Namibian influences! You may remember Stephanie and Chris’s pre-wedding shoot in Bury St Edmunds in Spring last year. I was really looking forward to their wedding at Alpheton Hall Barns and it turned out to be a fabulous day.

Stephanie got ready at The Mill Hotel in Sudbury.

Alpheton Hal Barns is one of my favourite wedding venues in Suffolk. Just off the A134 between Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury, it is nestled in the rolling Suffolk countryside. It makes for a relaxed, rustic wedding.

The weddings at Alpheton Hall Barns can take place in either of the barns, depending on the number of guests, or in the church which is literally a stone’s throw from the Barns.

It was a showery day, but we took the opportunity of a break in the weather to do some couple shots in the glorious grounds of Alpheton Hall Barns

Stephanie included some elements of her childhood in Namibia in the wedding details decorating the barn, along with the wedding newspaper on each table, which featured one of the images from their pre-wedding shoot on the front page.

The guests were entertained by a string quartet, playing some pretty cool music.

With the subdued lighting, Stephanie’s father need a little help from his son and a torch to read his English speech! As for the nasal duet, who can say?
