A Wedding at The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

L & B

Lauren and Ben’s wedding at the Ashmolean Museum was a beautiful blend of history, sentiment, and modern celebration. Lauren wore two looks on the day, beginning with her mum’s wedding dress - thoughtfully altered for her first look with Ben at The Randolph Hotel - before we wandered through Oxford for portraits, taking advantage of the city’s quiet corners and soft light.

After a hair and outfit change into her second dress, the rest of the day unfolded within the Ashmolean itself. The ceremony took place in the European Art Gallery, followed by drinks beneath The Atrium, with dinner and speeches set among the sculptures in the Grand Sculpture Gallery. As evening fell, celebrations moved down into the atmospheric Vaults - an unforgettable after-party in one of Oxford’s most iconic settings.
