Champagne Manor Weddings

If you are getting ready to say I do to the love of your life, you already know that your wedding day is when an infinite amount of delightful memories will be made. From the moment the bridesmaids assist with buttoning or lacing the bride’s wedding gown to the moment the wedding guests do the send-off, there are many special moments to be shared and captured on camera.

While an amazing wedding photographer makes a huge difference, every photographer can attest that a beautiful background makes even a greater difference when it comes to creating perfect photos. This is one of the reasons why choosing the perfect venue for your wedding and reception is among the first steps in the wedding planning process.
