Nestled in 800 acres of Cheshire countryside, Dorfold Hall is a 17th century Jacobean stately home and gardens that have been meticulously restored.\u00a0 As well as an impressive fa\u00e7ade it has elegant and contemporary interiors.\u00a0 Ensuring we got fantastic images both inside and out. On the morning we caught up with Ellie who was getting ready in Dorfold Hall\u2019s gorgeous oak-panelled bridal suite.\u00a0 Ellie looked amazing in her Riki Dalal dress.\u00a0 Riki Dalal dresses always have unique necklines and elegant lace detailing.\u00a0 Ellie\u2019s also had a fantastic cut that gave her a perfect silhouette in all of our images.\u00a0 The bridal party felt more like an army with 8 bridesmaids and 4 flower girls who were all on hand and in high spirits.\u00a0 The bridesmaids wore pink and the flower girls wore white.\u00a0 \u00a0The wedding ceremony was held in the atmospheric Coach House.\u00a0 Its enormous oak doors, white-washed walls, iron spiral staircase and musician\u2019s gallery make it a rustic yet elegant space.\u00a0 Flowers were white and blush roses to match the theme.\u00a0After their beautiful wedding ceremony, Ellie and Dan chose to have a quiet moment to themselves where they could enjoy the moment and have a glass of champagne.\u00a0 It’s always a good idea to allow a bit of time just for you two to stop and just take in the moment.\u00a0 After this, they joined their guests to enjoy a drinks reception in the walled garden.\u00a0 We also got the chance to take some romantic images of them around the grounds of Dorfold Hall.\u00a0The wedding reception was held in a luxury \u2018sperry tent\u2019 marquee which was dressed beautifully.\u00a0 Flowers from Fletcher and Foley which included lots of greenery, grasses and roses.\u00a0 There were also different sized gold frame vases to add height and variety to the centrepieces.\u00a0 There was evidence of Ellie\u2019s career as an event planner everywhere.\u00a0 This wedding was dressed exquisitely. There was an amazing wedding meal created by talented chefs at Dorfold Hall along with some very well-received speeches.\u00a0 I loved the way the marquee was open so that Ellie and Dan\u2019s guests could just blend inside and outside spaces seamlessly.\u00a0In the evening fairy lights adorned the marquee, candles lit the paths and a firepit offered up a cosy feel.\u00a0 The light they threw about was so perfect that we took the chance to get some amazing after dark romantic images of Ellie and Dan.\u00a0 They were amongst our favourites of the day.\u00a0 Here take a look! The wedding party was epic.\u00a0 To say this lot was up for a party would be an understatement.\u00a0 I took my life into my own hands-on that dancefloor but it was worth it for the fantastic images. Dance floor entertainment was from the very talented The Mac Bros.A fun-filled family wedding at a jaw dropping-ly romantic and elegant venue.\u00a0 We loved photographing and filming Ellie and Dan\u2019s epic Dorfold Hall wedding.\u00a0 Thanks for having us there guys!\u00a0We\u2019ll leave the last word to them.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what they had to say about us. \u201cWe chose MIKI Studios for our photography & videography. Having the same company do both was a great experience as both Mick &Ash worked so well together and knew exactly how to help each other get the best footage. We were so impressed with not only the end product but the experience from start to finish. They were friendly and professional throughout and made us feel completely at ease. We couldn\u2019t recommend them highly enough.\u201dIf you are looking for a photographer or videographer to capture your day with creativity and authenticity we would love to hear from you. Let’s chat!"}
