Weston Hall Wedding Photographer

Not every wedding needs a big guest list, a packed timetable or a full day of celebrations. Andrew and Sally kept things simple with a small, low-key ceremony at Weston Hall, surrounded by just a few close friends and family. It was a chance to get married without all the fuss, spend time with the people closest to them and enjoy the day at their own pace.

A relaxed wedding at Weston Hall

Weston Hall is a great setting for a wedding, with its characterful rooms, historic features and lovely grounds. It has plenty of interest for photographs without needing to go far or spend ages away from your guests. I’ve photographed a few weddings at this lovely Staffordshire venue, so it was nice to be back on familiar ground.

With a smaller wedding like this, there’s more time to take things as they come. Rather than working through a packed schedule, I could concentrate on photographing the moments as they happened – the conversations, reactions, little details and the time Andrew and Sally spent with their guests.

That’s very much how I like to photograph weddings. No need for lots of posing or taking you away from everyone for ages. Just natural photographs that give you a proper record of the day. Although it was raining quite heavily, Weston Hall has plenty of inside space for photos, in fact, all but a handful of the photos were taken inside. Just before we all headed off, we grabbed a brolly and took a few quick photos on the steps in front of the beautiful venue.

A meal at The Fitzherbert Arms

After the ceremony, Andrew and Sally headed to The Fitzherbert Arms for a meal with their friends and family.

It was a fitting way to finish a small and personal wedding – good food, good company and no big production. Sometimes keeping things simple is exactly what makes a wedding day work.

I love photographing smaller weddings. With fewer guests and a more relaxed schedule, there’s room to notice the moments that might otherwise get lost in a busy day.

Whether you’re planning a big celebration or something much smaller, my approach stays the same: documentary wedding photography, capturing things as they happen, without turning your wedding into a photoshoot.

Thanks to Andrew and Sally for having me along to photograph their wedding at Weston Hall. It was great to be part of it.
