Wedding at Paddock House, Newmarket

On Friday, Phil and I photographed Sarah and Steve's wedding at Paddock House Newmarket, a very historic venue. It was originally the home of Augusta Leigh, Byron's half-sister and with whom he is thought to have had an incestuous affair leading to the birth of her third daughter,  Elizabeth Medora Leigh (Medora was one of Byron's heroines).
Unfortunately, the weather was not kind to us and persistent rain meant we couldn't use the extensive grounds for the photographs. The interior, although very grand, is a photographer's nightmare - limited windows, lots of dark wood, often too high ceilings for bounce flash, and yellow lampshades etc. It is an attractive venue and the bride (and groom!) looked stunning.
