As a wedding photographer based in Northumberland, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing countless love stories at some of the region’s most beautiful venues. One venue that stands out for me is Shotton Grange, where I’m a recommended supplier. Nestled in the heart of the Northumbrian countryside, this venue offers an elegant and tranquil setting that’s perfect for weddings.
Why Shotton Grange is Special
Shotton Grange is an exclusive-use venue, meaning the whole space is yours for the day, which I think really helps couples relax and immerse themselves in their celebration. The stunning Manor House and its charming grounds provide a magical backdrop for your photographs, whether you opt for a ceremony in the Coach House, the beautiful Walled Gardens, or in front of the Manor with its romantic fountain. As a photographer, the variety of settings here ensures I can capture everything from intimate moments to sweeping, cinematic shots.
With the capacity to host up to 110 guests for a daytime ceremony and up to 200 for evening celebrations, Shotton Grange has a lovely balance of grandeur and intimacy. After the ceremony, couples and their guests enjoy drinks and canapés on the lawns, a perfect time for those relaxed, candid photos that I love to capture.
The Perfect Venue for Every Moment
The Coach House, with its exposed beams and rustic charm, is the heart of the reception at Shotton Grange. It’s where speeches, dinner, and dancing all happen, and trust me, it looks incredible in photos. From romantic first dances to lively evening celebrations, this space truly comes to life. I also love capturing the moments in between – the mingling, laughter, and candid emotions, all set against the backdrop of Shotton’s impeccable design.
Why Shotton Grange and Photography Go Hand in Hand
What makes Shotton Grange particularly great from a photographer’s perspective is the mix of natural light and carefully designed spaces. Whether it’s the soft light filtering through the trees in the garden or the timeless architecture of the Manor House, every corner of this venue offers opportunities for beautiful wedding photos. I also find that the secluded nature of the grounds helps couples feel at ease, which translates into more natural, intimate moments.
