A Syon Park Wedding A Persian Wedding at Syon House and the Great Conservatory

Jessica Jager Photography - A Syon Park wedding

As a Surrey wedding photographer, I’m lucky to live close to so many fantastic wedding venues. Syon Park and its gorgeous Great Conservatory was a venue I’d not photographed at before and so it was with great anticipation that I headed to Brentford. I had recently worked with Roger Brown photography and was looking forward to working with Roger again.

Rather dark, foreboding clouds hung from the sky and just as I got there it started to drizzle. In the end the weather gods were kind and it ended up being a dry afternoon, which was a great relief to the bride and bridesmaids, as they wanted to walk from the Syon Park hotel to the venue. Not only was this rather different, but it was also the first Iranian wedding I’ve experienced.

When I read up about Persian weddings, I came across Leyla Shams’ blog post ‘Everything you ever wanted to know about Persian weddings’ and she sums it up beautifully:

“For Iranians marriage is an event, which must be celebrated not quietly but with glory and distinction. It is the most conspicuous of all the occasions and is celebrated in the presence of a fairly large assembly.”

This pretty much describes the fantastic celebrations at Syon Park that day. I loved the energy and spiritedness of the couple and the guests; it was a day full of laughter and celebrations and long will I remember this wedding!

Here are a few of my favourite photos of that day.
