Leez Priory is a magnificent setting for a romantic wedding, offering all the history and drama you could want for a memorable celebration. Part of Country House Weddings’ portfolio of elegant exclusive-use properties, it sits in impressive 40-acre grounds and has multiple licensed wedding ceremony spaces – from the glorious grounds outside The Great Tower to the atmospheric Tudor Great Hall.

So the perfect backdrop for our romantic spring shoot. We featured gowns from The Wedding Club, a treasure-house of international designer labels with a fashion-forward style.
