Katie & Nick – Black Tie Fun at Swynford Manor

Katie & Nick’s wedding at Swynford Manor was the perfect mix of elegance and pure fun. A black-tie dress code set the tone early on, but this was never a stiff or overly formal day, it had personality in spades.

Their outdoor ceremony at the venue was followed by drinks outside, where things quickly turned into a bit of a party. A sax player had guests dancing on the lawn in the afternoon sun, while Nick Crown kept everyone entertained with close-up magic that had people completely baffled (and laughing).

I loved how naturally the day flowed, stylish without trying too hard, and full of energy from start to finish. Seeing guests dancing outside in black tie, drinks in hand, was a great reminder that weddings don’t have to choose between polished and playful. This one absolutely nailed both.
