Empeg venue

It now looks unlikely that the empeg 15th anniversary party will take place at Chilford Hall (the venue for the 5th and 10th parties). Unfortunately it was burned down last night!

Arson, wow. Gotta wonder what the motivation could possibly be?

Yea, I saw this on the news this morning.

I actually photographed a wedding in the Barn late last year. Beautiful space and I bet there are many many couples who are going to be in big trouble looking for other wedding venues right now!

Another venue I photographed last year, Peckforton Castle, was partially burned down by a Groom (during his own wedding!) over a bill dispute. He is currently behind bars for it. I'm not saying that is the case here, but people do really really stupid things some times!

Shame isn't it?
