Josh & Ellie — A Browsholme Hall Wedding in Lancashire

Josh and Ellie are two of my childhood friends, so this was never going to feel like an ordinary wedding to photograph. I made the trip over from Cyprus to shoot their day back in my home county of Lancashire, surrounded by childhood friends and family.

They were married on 17 July 2026 at Browsholme Hall, with the ceremony held outside at the Italian Steps. Being there with so many familiar faces made it something genuinely special to be part of. This first preview follows the day from the last few moments before the ceremony through confetti and portraits around the hall and gardens.

Before the ceremony

Josh and the groomsmen kept things classic in black tuxedos and bow ties.

Across the grounds, Ellie stepped out in a clean, square-necked gown with a long veil and a loose bouquet of pink, peach, blue and white flowers. She met her bridesmaids first — four of them in soft yellow — and then her dad. Two quiet reactions, both worth giving space to before everyone made their way towards the ceremony.

The Italian Steps

Ellie came down the gravel aisle with her dad, guests gathered beneath the trees and the old stone steps behind the ceremony.

After the vows, Josh and Ellie walked back through a burst of colourful confetti.

Around the hall

Drinks moved onto the lawn beside the hall before we took the two of them away for a short walk around the estate: along the gravel drive, through the grass and into the walled garden.

As the light softened, we moved through the gardens and beneath the trees, ending with a few quiet portraits against Browsholme's sandstone and summer green. A first look at a very good July wedding, with the full gallery still to come.
