If Mr. Darcy Married Lizzie Today: A Modern Pride & Prejudice Wedding at Stone Haven
Photographed by Brooke Stone
Stone Haven became the backdrop for a styled shoot that reimagined one of literature’s most beloved romances. Shot by Brooke Stone, the concept was drawn directly from Pride & Prejudice. “I wanted a shoot that was what it would have looked like had Mr. Darcy and Lizzie got married in today’s time,” Brooke explains. The result is a visual story that layers period-inspired romance with a modern edge.
The bride’s look balanced restraint and drama—an off-the-shoulder gown with structured lines softened by a flowing embroidered veil. Paired with sculptural heels and minimal jewelry, the styling felt timeless yet forward-looking. The groom’s classic black suit completed the narrative, grounding the aesthetic in contemporary wedding style while nodding to Regency influence.
Throughout Stone Haven’s terraces and sweeping grounds, the couple moved with a sense of cinematic romance. Drone portraits revealed striking geometry, while candid captures of the bride and groom in motion added movement and ease. These vignettes highlight the venue’s versatility for couples considering destination weddings in the United States—a place where architecture and landscape meet seamlessly.
The details were equally intentional. Rings reflected on vintage mirrors, shoes displayed against painted backdrops, and interiors styled with ornate frames brought depth to the visual narrative. Each still felt like a page from a modern-day Austen adaptation, reminding couples that meaningful design lies in both the grand setting and the subtle moments.
This styled shoot at Stone Haven offers inspiration for couples seeking a balance between history and modernity. For those exploring venues across the USA, the property demonstrates how a location can shape the story of the day. Here, Brooke Stone’s imagery proves that a wedding can feel at once literary, cinematic, and beautifully contemporary.
