The Pheasant Hotel Wedding Photographer
A quirky country hotel, a village church opposite and your favourite people, photographed as the day unfolds.
01 / Why I know The Pheasant
I've photographed weddings at The Pheasant 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 The Pheasant Hotel, including Ellie and Chris's.
It's the beautiful, quirky venue and the little village it's set in that I love. It feels like a village wedding, with the whole place involved.
02 / Real wedding at The Pheasant
Ellie & Chris. From the church to the hotel.
Ellie and Chris were married in the village church, and then walked from the church to The Pheasant.
That short walk through Harome, with their guests, is one of my favourite parts of a wedding here.
The photographs below are from Ellie and Chris's wedding at The Pheasant 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 The Pheasant 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 The Pheasant.
The church and the walk
According to the venue, St Saviour's church sits opposite the hotel. Ellie and Chris walked from the church to the venue, which makes a lovely, relaxed moment to photograph.
The village
Harome is a small, picturesque village near Helmsley, and a short walk gives you plenty of backdrops. I aim for about twenty minutes near sunset, so you're soon back with your guests.
If it rains
I don't work to a fixed rain plan. We just make it work. It's a small country hotel with plenty of indoor space, and if the rain breaks we nip out into the village.
