Sarah and David are having their wedding ceremony and reception at Stoke Rochford Hall, and MP was pleased to join them at their wedding venue prior to their wedding.
The preWED serves a number of purposes: It gives couples the opportunity to spend time with Mark Pugh, and couples can see how amazing they look in photographs before their special day.
Mark said "The preWED typically lasts around an hour, and although many couples are slightly apprehensive when they start the session, everyone soon realises how relaxed and fun it is."
He took Sarah and David into the grounds of the Hall.
"They are extensive grounds, to say the least." Mark commented, "It's a shame, because I don't think many visitors to Stoke Rochford Hall take the time to explore the beautiful woodland and formal gardens at the side of of house. Despite photographing regularly at the Hall, I'm always finding new parts of the gardens to explore and thoroughly enjoy each visit."
With Mark's trademark Icebreaker out of the way, the couple soon got into the swing of being models for the afternoon, and the fun they had, as well as their love for one another is clearly evident from this beautiful collection of photographs.
So what did our couple Sarah and David think of their preWED session? Bride-to-be Sarah said: "I was slightly nervous at first, but I'd do it again." High praise, indeed.
Sarah and David's wedding takes place soon, and Mark Pugh cannot wait to see them again surrounded by love from their family, and their friends.
Their main preWED photography collection contains 80+ images. However, we have decided to share 30ish of our faves and these can be viewed below.
As always, enjoy.
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.
