Mark Pugh had a lovely afternoon with Emily and Darren at Hartsholme Country Park near Lincoln.
Mark said: "Hartsholme was a inspired choice for their preWED love session, and the woodland, lakes and buildings provided the perfect backdrop."
Emily and Darren are a fantastic couple, and Mark Pugh cannot wait to see them again soon for their wedding at one of his favourite venues, Stoke Rochford Hall.
Their main preWED photography collection contains 80 plus images. However, we have decided to share 15ish plus image previews on behalf of www.markpugh.com, and these can be viewed below.
Additional image previews will be shared soon.
As always, enjoy.
ABOUT HARTSHOLME COUNTRY PARK, LINCOLN
Opened in 1978, Hartsholme Country Park lies about three miles (5 km) southwest of the city centre of Lincoln. Covering more than 200 acres, this Grade II listed area also features a camping area.
The park was also awarded the Green Flag in 2011 and 2013 by the charity Keep Britain Tidy.
ABOUT STOKE ROCHFORD HALL
The current Stoke Rochford Hall building was constructed in the 1840s. The estate was occupied by Harry Wyndham Jefferson and his wife Gwendolen Mary Talbot at the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1940 the house was requisitioned by the War Office, and used for a variety of purposes. It became the headquarters of the Second Battalion, the Parachute Regiment. It was in the Library at Stoke Rochford Hall that the ill fated 1944 Arnhem ‘drop’ was planned.
Purchased in 1948 from the War Office by Kesteven County Council who built modern student accommodation, the hall was home to Kesteven College of Education, a teacher-training college which closed in 1978. It retains a connection with education, as the training and conference centre of the National Union of Teachers. It is not solely used by the NUT, but is used by national organisations and companies for conferences or seminars, being closely situated to the A1 and Grantham railway station.
On 25 January 2005 a fire gutted the interior of the hall. It was restored by English Heritage which cost £12m over three years.
