Halton Grove Wedding Photographer

Beautiful grounds, a view across the fields and your favourite people, photographed as the day unfolds.

01 / Why I know Halton Grove

I've photographed a wedding at Halton Grove.

I'm Aaron, a documentary wedding photographer based in Guisborough, and North East Wedding Photographer of the Year 2022. I've photographed one wedding at Halton Grove, Thomasin and Kieran's. I'll be straight with you that it's one, and I loved it.

It has such beautiful grounds, and the view is unbelievable. Northumberland is part of the area I cover, so I'd be glad to photograph here again.

02 / Real wedding at Halton Grove

Thomasin & Kieran. A church ceremony, then a day in the grounds.

Thomasin got ready in a bright room with a bay window before they were married in a church, with sunflowers in the bouquets. We walked out into confetti afterwards.

The day then moved to Halton Grove for portraits on the lawn and the gravel drive, the wedding meal in a timber-framed room with tall windows, and dancing in the evening. Read Thomasin and Kieran's full wedding.

The photographs below are from Thomasin and Kieran's wedding at Halton Grove.

03 / A few minutes together

Short portraits, with the view behind you.

My couple portraits at Halton Grove take about twenty minutes. The lawns, the ivy-covered stone wall, the gravel drive and the fields beyond the fence all sit close to the house, and I aim for the softer light near sunset.

Three things I'd tell you about Halton Grove.

The grounds and the view

What I love about Halton Grove is its grounds and the view across the fields. According to the venue, the estate includes gardens and a woodland canopy, with exclusive use for three days and two nights.

The timber-framed dining room

The room Thomasin and Kieran ate in has an exposed timber roof and tall windows onto the garden, so there's lovely daylight for the meal and the speeches. According to the venue, the spaces include converted Stables and a purpose-built Evening Room.

If it rains

I don't work to a fixed rain plan. We just make it work. The timber-framed room has big windows, so it's bright inside, and if the rain breaks we nip outside for the lawn and the stone wall.
