Spring and summer are gorgeous at Shottle Hall, with lush gardens, plenty of natural light and longer evenings. Early autumn brings warmer tones and golden-hour photographs, while winter weddings make the most of the venue’s beautiful interiors and more intimate atmosphere.

Whatever the season, Shottle Hall gives you plenty to work with, and I’ll make the most of the setting without turning your wedding day into a photoshoot.

Shottle Hall has lots of lovely spaces for photographs, from its characterful interiors to the gardens and outdoor areas. I’ll use the setting naturally throughout the day, rather than taking you away for a long list of posed photos.

The gardens are perfect for relaxed couple portraits, while the interior and bar area add more editorial feel to your images.

I’ll keep an eye out for the best light and little pockets of the venue as the day unfolds, so your photographs feel varied, natural and unmistakably yours.

It’s the UK, so we can never quite guarantee what the weather will do! But rain definitely doesn’t mean compromising on your photographs.

The dining space is a brilliant option for photos when the weather isn’t on our side, with beautiful natural light and plenty of character. If you’re after something a little more editorial, the bar gives us a completely different look, especially for evening portraits and flash photography.

And if you’re happy to embrace the weather, we can always head outside with umbrellas for something a little different.

I’ll always adapt to whatever the day throws at us, so you can enjoy your wedding without worrying about the forecast.

Absolutely! I keep couple portraits relaxed and efficient, so you’re never away from your guests for ages. We’ll make the most of the gardens while naturally moving around, capturing a beautiful portraits with the many different backdrops at Shottle Hall before getting you back to the celebrations.
