A weekend at Ashbourne Park.

The house and the park first, then a Saturday from the quiet of the morning to the sparklers at midnight.

The estate

House, lake and garden

Ashbourne Park from the air, showing the house, gardens, lake and parkland
The lake temple set with chairs and a floral arch for a ceremony
The entrance hall and stone staircase at Ashbourne Park
The walled garden with box hedging and an aisle strewn with petals
The glass orangery dressed for a ceremony with candles and urns of flowers
The morning

Getting ready

The Long Room with lit dressing mirrors, the bride having her hair styled
The Gun Room, the groom adjusting his cufflinks at a full-length mirror
The bridal suite with its four-poster bed and the dress hanging ready
The day

Vows, drinks and dinner

The evening

And on into the dark
