Clare & Andrew, Milton Abbey

Milton Abbey is one of my favourite local venues, and one I'm lucky enough to visit frequently.
Clare got ready in the Abbey itself, which is great for the bride but often challenging for the photographer as the room is often dark - but it does have a great porthole window!
The weather was again miserable, which doesn't help - Milton Abbey is really at its best in a sunny Summers day, with a long warm evening watching the sun go down from its lawns. But still, the rain held off all morning and it was bright enough during the ceremony to make the most of the amazing windows in the Abbey. Despite threatening clouds building persistently we were lucky to escape any rain until early evening in the end.
But Clare & Andrew had arranged for a 12-piece soul band to liven up the evening, which meant the weather outside really didn't matter too much!
