Weddings at Egton Manor

There's a particular charm to Egton Manor. Tucked into the wooded hills near Whitby, this beautiful North Yorkshire country house has a wonderful sense of character, with its historic architecture, gardens and surrounding countryside.

Having photographed two weddings here in 2026, what I've come to appreciate most is how naturally everything unfolds. There's space to enjoy the setting, spend time with the people who matter and simply get on with having a wonderful day.

And while the house provides a remarkable backdrop, it's always the people, their relationships and the moments nobody could have planned that make the photographs meaningful.

You can also explore some of the other historic wedding venues I've had the pleasure of photographing across Yorkshire and beyond.

The Moments Before It All Begins

There's something wonderful about the anticipation on a wedding morning. The excitement, the occasional nerves, the laughter between friends and those little moments with family that can so easily pass unnoticed.

Egton Manor's beautiful interiors provide a lovely setting for those quieter parts of the day, with natural light, historic details and plenty of character.

It's often these unplanned moments that become some of the most meaningful photographs.

The Ceremony & Celebrations

Every wedding has those moments when everything seems to happen at once. The anticipation of the ceremony, the emotion of seeing everyone gathered together, and that wonderful feeling when the formalities are over and the celebrations can really begin.

From the intimacy of a church ceremony to the excitement of being surrounded by family and friends, these are the moments I love to photograph. Unscripted, full of feeling and impossible to recreate.

The People Who Make the Day

As much as I love the beautiful surroundings of Egton Manor, it's the people who bring a wedding to life.

The laughter between friends, the excitement of having everyone together and those quieter moments with family that might otherwise go unnoticed.

These are the photographs that often become more meaningful with time. Not because everything was perfectly arranged, but because they capture the people and relationships that made the day what it was.

A Little Time Together

One of my favourite parts of a wedding day is finding a few quiet minutes for the couple to spend together, away from the excitement of the celebrations.

With its beautiful surroundings, tree-lined lanes and wonderful countryside, Egton Manor offers plenty of opportunities for photographs that feel natural and unhurried.

There's no need for elaborate posing or disappearing for hours. Just a little gentle direction where it's helpful, some beautiful light and the freedom to enjoy being together.

From the Wedding Breakfast to the Dance Floor

As the afternoon gives way to evening, Egton Manor takes on a different atmosphere. The tables are beautifully prepared, everyone settles in for the wedding breakfast, and the day begins to feel wonderfully relaxed.

I love photographing these parts of a wedding. The carefully chosen details, the atmosphere of the reception and, most of all, the people enjoying themselves.

And when the evening celebrations begin, it's those unguarded expressions, laughter and spontaneous moments that tell the story best.
