A hotel garden looking out over the bay, the old village and your favourite people, photographed as the day unfolds.

01 / Why I know Hotel Victoria

I've photographed weddings at Hotel Victoria.

I'm Aaron, a documentary wedding photographer based in Guisborough, and North East Wedding Photographer of the Year 2022. I've photographed weddings at Hotel Victoria, including Daniel and Danielle's.

I love the view. Getting married with the whole of Robin Hood's Bay behind you is hard to beat.

02 / Real wedding at Hotel Victoria

Daniel & Danielle. A ceremony with the bay behind them.

Daniel and Danielle married outside in the hotel garden, with the sea and the bay stretching out behind their guests.

Afterwards we found quieter corners in the village and the greenery for portraits, and the evening ended with their first dance.

The photographs below are from Daniel and Danielle's wedding at Hotel Victoria.

03 / A few minutes together

Short portraits, back to your guests quickly.

My couple portraits at Hotel Victoria take about twenty minutes. I aim for the softer light near sunset, so you're only away from your guests for a short time.

Three things I'd tell you about Hotel Victoria.

The garden and the view

The hotel garden looks out over Robin Hood's Bay, so the ceremony and the drinks both have the sea behind them. It's the view everyone remembers.

The village

The old streets and cottages of Robin Hood's Bay are close by, which gives you a completely different backdrop for portraits in a few minutes.

If it rains

I don't work to a fixed rain plan. We just make it work. The hotel has indoor rooms for the meal and the party, and if the rain breaks we nip out into the garden.
