Hayley & Manson’s Cosy Autumn Wedding at Dodford Manor – Pumpkins, Cupcakes & fun


Autumn weddings have a magic of their own, and Hayley & Manson’s celebration at Dodford Manor was the perfect example. With crisp air, golden leaves, and a warm, rustic atmosphere, their day was nothing short of spectacular. Set in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside, Dodford Manor is a breathtaking barn wedding venue known for its historic charm and stunning rural views. The beautifully restored stone barn, with its high beams and character-filled interiors, provided the perfect cosy setting for a chilly yet heartwarming autumn wedding. As a Dodford Manor wedding photographer, it was a joy to capture such a picturesque day.


Hayley & Manson fully embraced the autumnal theme, decorating the venue with pumpkins, rich seasonal colours, and an incredible selection of cupcakes that had everyone coming back for more! Despite the cold, the day was filled with warmth, laughter, and plenty of fun. The crisp autumn air and the golden hues of the surrounding countryside made for the most beautiful backdrop for their wedding portraits. It was an absolute pleasure to capture such a joyful and vibrant day, celebrating love in one of the most magical seasons of the year. As a Northamptonshire wedding photography specialist, I love documenting the unique beauty of autumn weddings like this one. Hayley & Manson, your wedding was simply amazing!
