Eaves Hall Winter Wedding

Sarah & Michael commissioned me to photograph their winter wedding at Eaves Hall in the Ribble Valley. Eaves Hall is one of the very best, and most popular (as a result) wedding venues in the North West. Us wedding photographers love the venue too; it has everything – character, charm, atmosphere,  landscaped gardens…and (everybody’s favourite) Barry, the Event Manager – running the day with the utmost professionalism. Good to see you again, sir.

Award-winning Make Up Artist

Sarah was in the very good hands of Sonara Parker – one of the busiest MUA’s in the north of England. She should be too, having won The Wedding Industry Awards for the past two years. Sarah and her bridesmaids had the first part of their preparations down in the Lodge, then walked up through the misty January morning to the Hall for final touches and to get dressed.

Scottish Wedding in Lancashire

Michael and the groomsmen arrived wearing family tartan. Though Michael is a Lancashire lad, he chose to honour his Scottish roots. Very fetching it was too, seeing this beautifully misty day looked set to stay. Michael brought his dog along too for the wedding. Why not?

Eaves Hall Weddings

Weddings at Eaves Hall are always fabulous, whatever the weather. The mist was obviously not budging so Sarah and I decided to make it a ‘Wuthering Heights’ type of day, and using the atmospheric winter conditions to our advantage. I insisted on being called Mr Darcy though, for the whole afternoon… ;-)

From the ceremony and after-drinks, it was outside for ten minutes’ of family group photos. Once completed, Sarah, Michael and I wandered off for fifteen more minutes, using the mist as part of the couples photos. We could almost have been in Scotland…

Lancashire Wedding Speeches

The speeches were brilliant – funny, embarrassing (for Sarah & Michael obviously!) and above all, heartf-felt. On schedule, the speeches were done and the wedding breakfast began. The dining room looked stunning, as the daylight started to fade to dusk and the candles did their job. ‘Mr Darcy’ retired for an hour or so before the cake cutting and first dance…

Classic Eaves Hall Wedding Photography

When photographing at Eaves Hall, it’s ‘de rigueure’ to capture the couple outside the stunning Georgian building at night. As cold as it was, and as pitch dark too – we nailed the shot in five minutes…then it was inside for some dancing…
