Abi and David’s beautiful summer wedding at Allington Manor in Lincolnshire was the perfect combination of sunshine, countryside views and relaxed celebrations with family and friends. As an Allington Manor wedding photographer, it’s always such a joy to photograph weddings at this stunning venue and Abi and David’s day was no exception.
With a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, warm June sunshine and the beautiful gardens of Allington Manor as their backdrop, their wedding was filled with laughter, emotion and unforgettable moments.
Morning Preparations at Allington Manor
The day began inside the elegant rooms of Allington Manor, where Abi spent the morning getting ready with her closest family and friends.
The manor’s beautiful interiors and soft natural light made the perfect setting for relaxed bridal preparations and natural wedding photography. Abi looked stunning in a fitted lace gown with delicate straps and intricate detailing, paired with a flowing veil that added a timeless feel to her look.
An Outdoor Ceremony at Allington Manor
One of the reasons couples love choosing Allington Manor for their wedding is its beautiful outdoor ceremony space.
Set in the gardens with views across the Lincolnshire countryside, the charming wooden gazebo provides a perfect backdrop for exchanging vows.
Surrounded by family and friends, Abi and David exchanged their vows beneath the gazebo on a beautiful summer day. The gardens created a stunning setting for the ceremony, with the Lincolnshire countryside stretching out beyond the venue.
The ceremony itself was relaxed and heartfelt, filled with laughter as well as a few happy tears from guests watching on.
Drinks Reception in the Manor Gardens
After the ceremony, guests gathered in the gardens for drinks and celebrations.
With the sunshine continuing throughout the afternoon, everyone enjoyed spending time outside congratulating the newlyweds and soaking up the beautiful surroundings of Allington Manor.
As a Lincolnshire wedding photographer, this part of the day is always one of my favourites to capture. Natural interactions, laughter between friends and family, and those candid moments that really tell the story of the wedding.
Couple Portraits Around Allington Manor

From the flower-filled gardens and countryside views to the characterful stone walls and archways, every corner of the venue provides something special for wedding photography.

Kind words
“Sally has been great right from the point of contact, responding quickly when we reached out to her and always responding quickly to queries. The photos she took of our wedding were better than we could have ever imagined, she not only got all the formal shots we wanted as well as more formal couple photos (for which she made two camera shy people feel very relaxed), but so many amazing candid photos of the whole day. She really captured how the day felt and I don’t know how she managed to get so many photos without me noticing (I generally feel uncomfortable in front of a camera!). They’re also lovely and bright which is exactly what we wanted, and we just generally couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Sally!”
