Walworth Castle Wedding Photographer
A 12th-century castle, a woodland lake and your favourite people, photographed as the day unfolds.
01 / Why I know Walworth Castle
I've photographed weddings at Walworth Castle.
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 Walworth Castle, including Juliet and Andy's.
The grandeur of the castle is what I love. It looks like a proper castle, and it makes a dramatic backdrop for portraits and the day.

Short portraits, back to your guests quickly.
My couple portraits at Walworth Castle 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 Walworth Castle.
The castle itself
The castle is the star. According to the venue, it's a 12th-century castle hotel that has welcomed guests for nearly 900 years, and the stonework makes a dramatic backdrop.
The gardens and the driveway
The gardens and the driveway are where Juliet and Andy's portraits were taken. They give you space and the castle behind you, in about twenty minutes near sunset.
If it rains
I don't work to a fixed rain plan. We just make it work. According to the venue, the Ballroom and the Dungeon are indoor ceremony spaces, and if the rain breaks we nip out into the gardens.
