Hall Garth Wedding Photographer
Parkland, a golf course, hidden gardens and your favourite people, photographed as the day unfolds.
01 / Why I know Hall Garth
I've photographed weddings at Hall Garth Golf and Country Club Hotel.
I'm Aaron, a documentary wedding photographer based in Guisborough, and North East Wedding Photographer of the Year 2022. I've photographed a few weddings at Hall Garth Golf and Country Club Hotel, including Jenney and Reece's.
What I love is having access to the golf course, buggies included. It gives your portraits a different feel from a typical hotel wedding.
02 / Real wedding at Hall Garth
Jenney & Reece. A day across the whole estate.
We had full access to Hall Garth for Jenney and Reece's wedding, so the photographs went out across the venue.
Having the golf course and the buggies to hand made it easy to cover a lot of ground without taking you away from your guests for long.
The photographs below are from Jenney and Reece's wedding at Hall Garth Golf and Country Club Hotel.
The day comes first. The photographs happen as it unfolds.
More about how I work03 / A few minutes together
Short portraits, back to your guests quickly.
My couple portraits at Hall Garth Golf and Country Club Hotel take about twenty minutes. I aim for the softer light near sunset, so you're only away from your guests for a short time.
04 / From behind the camera
Three things I'd tell you about Hall Garth.
The golf course
Access to the golf course, and the buggies to get around it, is the thing that sets Hall Garth apart. It means space and open views for your portraits, without a long walk.
The parkland and the gardens
According to the venue, Hall Garth sits in 70 acres of parkland with hidden gardens, weeping willows, kissing bridges and an old deer hut. There are plenty of backdrops, all close together.
If it rains
I don't work to a fixed rain plan. We just make it work. According to the venue, ceremony, breakfast and evening reception all happen under one roof, so the day carries on indoors, and if the rain breaks we nip out.
