The Store Wedding Photography, Su & Matt
It’s a new year and to start off the wedding season, I was in Oxford to photograph the wedding of Su and Matt at the newly opened Store Hotel in the city center. On the former site of Boswells department store, it is stylish with a great mix of classical architecture with a modern interior.
Su and the maids got ready at the store in a gorgeous room with views out across Cornmarket street. The prep time always goes so fast and before long it was time to head to The Oxford Town Hall for the ceremony.
I spent a little time photographing Matt greeting guests and putting on button holes.
I’m pretty sure Matt really enjoyed the bridal procession, especially their young son and wife to be.
Following Matt and Su’s ceremony everyone showered the couple with hugs and kisses before heading outside for an epic confetti run and to make the walk to The Store.
On the way we captured some lovely couple photos at some of Oxfords landmarks.
The reception was held in the top floor bar with stunning views out over Oxfords iconic skyline.
After the meal and speeches it was time to cut the cake which was Skillfully made by a friend. It really was a fabulous cake.
Here's what Su & Matt had to say about their wedding
What was your favourite part of the wedding?
So hard to choose! We loved the walk between the ceremony and reception. We loved the roof top welcome drinks and seeing the restaurant all set up for the first time.
Please let me know about any personal or DIY touches you added to make the day a little more ‘you’.
We added personalised confetti boxes, coasters, place settings and table names. The games we played in the evening were very us. A bit raucous and lots of fun.
Why did you choose your venue?
Location, design and excitement of it being a new venue. Also the roof top bar was a big pull and the food was good.
How did you find using Lee Dann Photography, were there any particular things about my approach that you liked, and how did you feel about the photos once you received them?
We loved Lee Dann Photography. You didn't feel in the way at all in the day. You listened to what we wanted and gave helpful suggestions. It was so exciting receiving the photos and so joyful looking through them.

Wedding Photography At The Store
I have photographed many weddings in fine venues all over the UK. I can see why Su & Matt chose to get married at Oxfords Town Hall and The Store. They are both fabulous venues and perfectly suited to a wedding.
It was a pleasure to capture lots of precious memories for Matt and Su and I wish them all the best for the future.
I hope you enjoy the photos and if you are planning a wedding I'd love to hear from you.
