Marquee Wedding in Rutland, A Garden Celebration at Home
Elizabeth and Barnaby, known to their loved ones as Betty and Barney, celebrated a heartfelt marquee wedding in Rutland, beginning with a ceremony at Exton Chapel before returning to Elizabeth’s childhood home in Uppingham for a garden marquee reception. Every part of the day had been shaped with care. Flowers were picked and arranged straight from the garden. A tiered cake was baked by hand. Colourful bunting and candlelight softened the marquee as the afternoon unfolded, giving the whole celebration a warmth that can only come from doing things your own way.
This wedding is part of a wider collection of countryside and marquee weddings across Rutland.
A Garden Marquee Wedding at Home in Uppingham
There is something special about photographing a wedding at home. A garden carries memories long before a wedding ever arrives, and on this day, every corner felt layered with story. Guests moved easily between conversations, laughter carried through the space, and the atmosphere felt completely unforced.
An Intimate Ceremony at Exton Chapel
Before the celebrations in Uppingham, Elizabeth and Barnaby exchanged their vows at the chapel in Exton. The ceremony was quiet, emotional, and deeply personal. The scale of the space brought a stillness that allowed every glance and small moment to land. These intimate ceremonies often set the tone for the entire day. There was no rush, just a shared sense of presence that stayed with everyone long after they left the chapel.
