East Molesey Wedding Photography at St Paul's Church and Hampton Court Palace

Nathan and Anna's beautiful summer wedding took place in St Paul's Church in East Molesey, followed by a stunning reception in the Great Hall of Hampton Court Palace, which was the perfect setting for this lovely couple.

The day started with the bride and groom's preparation of photographs before the church ceremony at St. Paul's. Following the service, we travelled the short distance across to Hampton Court and made the most of the summer weather for the couple's photographs around the Palace grounds before the wedding breakfast in the Great Hall.

Following dinner, guests made their way down to the Undercroft for the first dance and danced into the night.

Anna and Nathan were such a pleasure to work with for their engagement session and Hampton Court Palace wedding. Their relaxed nature and warm personalities made telling their story an absolute joy.

Here are a few images from this St Paul's Church wedding and Hampton Court Palace reception in the Great Hall.
