Windsor Castle Park Wedding | Smithfield Wedding Photographer | Stephen + Anne-Stuart

Windsor_Castle_Park_Smithfield_Wedding.jpg

Normally, 200+ people at a wedding wouldn’t be remarkable, but in 2021 it was a number worth celebrating all on its own! Stephen and Anne Stuart filled Windsor Castle Park with hundreds of people who love and support them individually and as a couple, and the love their guests had for these two showed. The ceremony was sweet and the wedding reception was one for the books - I’ve never seen so many people who knew how to actually dance in one single place!

Meanwhile, Stephen and Anne Stuart simply sat back and enjoyed the day. They were calm, relaxed, and of course beyond happy to finally get married. They laughed at moments that could have been stressful, danced hard as the band played, and made the most of each minute they spent together. While all the details were certainly beautiful, the most important piece - their marriage - stayed central to it all.

Speaking of details, I think my new favorite flower color is all-white with a ton of greenery (just like Trey + Kristina’s wedding!). The Main Event by Emily designed a drop-dead gorgeous reception, set up a beautiful ceremony right on the water at the park, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Champagne bridesmaid dresses were the perfect complement to one of the most elegant weddings I have photographed.

To spend a day surrounded by so many people having fun in so many ways was a true joy on this Saturday. Summer is here, and it feels normal in the best possible way. Congratulations, Stephen and Anne Stuart!
