Knowlton Mansion Wedding Portraits

Elegant Bridal Portraits on the Second Floor of Knowlton Mansion by Iryna Shostak

One of the hidden gems of Knowlton Mansion is its beautifully preserved second floor. Featuring oversized windows, antique mirrors, and charming sitting rooms, this level provides the perfect setting for elegant, light-filled bridal portraits before the ceremony begins.

I love guiding brides through this quiet space before the festivities unfold. Whether standing near a lace-curtained window, framed by an ornate mirror, or posed gracefully on the settee with the gown trailing around her, each image feels serene and regal.

The soft morning light gently fills the room, highlighting the gown’s textures and the bride’s natural beauty. It’s also a space where emotion flows freely—quiet moments with a mother, a deep breath before the first look, or a joyful twirl in the dress.

Best moments to capture here:

Bridal solo portraits with soft natural light
Candid moments with bridesmaids or family
Detail shots of the gown, veil, and bouquet

As a photographer, I help brides feel confident and radiant, using the architecture and natural light of Knowlton Mansion’s second floor to tell a romantic and authentic story.
