A Berkshire Wedding with a Russian / Latvian Twist

Jenia & Ross’ Wedding Reception in Ascot – Berkshire Wedding

We met Jenia and Ross through a fellow photographer that recommended our services. We were honoured to shoot their Berkshire wedding.

Jenia and Ross live in Worthing, so we decided to meet in Guildford, as Simon’s father lives there and it was middle ground for us all. We had the consultation at Mandolay Hotel, instantly forming a great connection.

Jenia is a really creative person, currently setting up a business making wedding accessories. She made all of her wedding stationary and even her hair piece for their wedding day. We highly recommend her services, as it was all beautiful quality.

Jenia and Ross had previously done their wedding ceremony in a small registry office but decided to have their reception later on so that Jenia’s family could come over from Latvia. This reception was intimate, with around 30 guests. Intimate weddings are so meaningful as it is just the closest loved ones around to celebrate such an important occasion in a couples lives. We also get to form a relationship with the guests.

Jenia and Ross got ready at Macdonald Berystede Hotel & Spa in Ascot, where they hired one of the function rooms for the reception. Jenia transformed the room, making it look absolutely beautiful.

Before Ross was allowed to see Jenia, her family and best friend decided to incorporate a Russian tradition. Ross had to answer a load of questions. If he got any wrong, he would have to pay them and if he got them right he was allowed to see his bride. They had large sheets of paper, each with a different question. One had different ladies kisses all over it and they ask on behalf of Jenia, ‘you’ve kissed my lips thousands of times, which one is mine?’ This was a lovely touch and good fun.

They then met with their loved ones for a drinks reception, followed by a couple shoot next to a beautiful chandelier and on the grounds. There was then dinner, speeches and a boogie on the dance floor.
