Sarah & Stefan — Clandeboye Lodge

A wedding at Clandeboye Lodge.

Sarah and Stefan’s wedding story combines a timber-beamed ceremony with garden portraits and a relaxed reception. Sparklers and photographs beneath a lit garden arch add another chapter before the evening dancing.

Cake and speeches
