Newly married couple hug among the trees at Alpheton Hall Barns. An autumn wedding in Suffolk.

Mittu & Holly: An Autumn Wedding in Alpheton

For a chilly late October day, this was such a warm and welcoming wedding for Holly and Mittu.

The Black Lion in Long Melford was the perfect place for a calm morning of preparation before heading off to Alpheton Hall Barns for the marriage ceremony and celebrations.

The couple led the best performance of the Electric Slide to Cameo’s ‘Candy’ that I’ve seen so far in my many years of photographing a busy wedding dance floor!
