Pembroke Lodge is a stunning Georgian mansion located on high ground with spectacular views over the Thames Valley, and Surrey. The lodge has not alway been so grand and started life sometime before 1754 as a humble cottage of just one room occupied by a molecatcher whose duty was to reduce the risk presented to huntsmen by moles.
Since then it was enlarged for the Countess of Pembroke who was a close friend of King George III. In 1847 Queen Victoria granted permission for Lord John Russell, then Prime Minister who conducted much business there and entertained various aristocrapts and writers including Dickens, Tennyson and Thackeray.
So to say we are excited about our wedding tomorrow is an understatement. We will also be luck enough to photograph a Chinese Tea ceremony later in the day. Keep an eye out for the photos from the wedding on our blog. In the meantime here are a few pictures or Kar Wen and James from their pre wedding shoot at the lodge.
Great photos and a fab location but I do love the thought of moles risking the safety of huntsmen! I know the sensible answer but love the thought of highwayman moles!
