Katy & Mike’s Abbeywood Wedding in Spring

A Spring Fairytale: Mike & Katy’s Abbeywood Wedding

When Mike and Katy said their vows in the warmth of a spring morning, surrounded by the lush greenery of Abbeywood Estate and the historic charm of Marbury Church, their wedding day became something truly magical.

The Morning of Promise

Katy’s day began softly – morning light filtering through windows, excitement intertwined with calm anticipation. Surrounded by her closest friends and family, she carefully donned her wedding gown, each delicate detail reflecting her personality: elegant, romantic, and just a little whimsical. Mike, meanwhile, waited not far away, looking quietly confident and full of emotion as he prepared to see his bride for the very first time.

Marbury Church Ceremony

Their ceremony took place at Marbury Church, a beautiful and intimate backdrop that added a timeless feel to the occasion. The church’s classic architecture and peaceful atmosphere served as the perfect setting for the heartfelt vows they exchanged. There was a sense of serenity, mixed with joy – every look, every whisper, captured in the eyes of their loved ones.

A Walk Through Abbeywood Gardens

After saying “I do,” Mike and Katy moved their celebration to Abbeywood Estate, nestled in the rolling Cheshire countryside. Jess Yarwood, their photographer, masterfully captured quiet moments and joyful laughter as the newlyweds strolled through Abbeywood’s gardens. The paths are lined with blooming flowers, woody textures, and natural light pouring through the trees – it all felt like a gentle, enchanted forest.

Katy leaned into Mike as they walked, her bouquet held loosely at her side. He wrapped an arm around her, and in that embrace, you could almost feel the promise of their future.

Portraits Full of Love

Some of the most beautiful photos from their day are the ones where they just stopped -mid-laugh, mid-breath, in a moment that felt real and unscripted. Whether standing beneath arches of greenery or sitting in a quiet corner of the garden, their connection shines through. The soft spring light makes everything glow: her gown, their smiles, the delicate flowers.

Celebration & Togetherness

Guests mingled on the manicured lawns and among the woodland areas, sipping drinks, sharing stories, and taking in the beauty of Abbeywood. The estate offers such a versatile space – formal gardens, sheltered glades, and rustic corners – that their wedding felt simultaneously grand and intimate.
