Chris & Lois - Highfield Hall
Highfield Hall
Having worked at Highfield Hall for a number of years now I can safely say I love capturing weddings here!!
Why you ask ?
The Bridal Prep room is light and airy and spacious, with lovey view of the pagoda and a cool bathtub overlooking the gardens. I also use the mirror in there for some nice dress shots.
Gardens - Well looked after, spacious, plenty of nooks and corners for your portrait photos and for your group photos by the lawn.
Indoors - Poor weather means we can use the light and airy indoors using flash, plenty of room for all the photos we need.
Staff - Helpful and polite staff are always around who know the site well, their planning and organisation is top notch.
Round The Back
My Favourite Spots
Chris and Lois were fantastic, relaxed and very go with the flow when it came to having some pics.
Why is this good for memories ?
Easy Walk around - When your relaxed, things seam to flow and become natural, this is the sweet zone I like to have your portraits in, a moment to breath and enjoy the moment.
Driveway - A gentle walk up the drive and a few stops along the way, maybe even a silhouette shot if the moment strikes, this area is plentiful in terms of opportunity at sunset.
Pagoda - Here I really like to take your group phots and also some stunning flash photos at the end, here we can create some stunning moments, ideal for printing.
Round the Back - Part of the walk around and usually all in the shade, here we can cool off, take out time and chat about your day together, ill just have a camera, thats all the difference. In this area there are spots for some photos with the lovely fairy lights behind adding a sprinkle of magic and pop to your portrait photos.
Evening Entertainment

Im lucky enough to have Highfield Hall as a regular wedding venue to shoot at. This venue benefits from that lovely light and airy look inside and outside it from the lovely gardens, pagoda and rear where there is a great barn feel to the photos.
Come rain or shine this venue is perfect, there are ways to work around the weather here and thats awesome news for you if the wedding is during the colder months of the year. However whatever the date, there are some points I would love to share about photographing you both at this venue.
Heres a small list of spots for your photos I love the most :
The bridal Suite : This is a large open prep area. Here we can get well lit photos of you getting your dress on as well as some detail shots such as the flowers, shoes and rings. Of course i also love to capture the fun and important moments for you in the lead up to the wedding. The bridal suit at Highfield Hall also has a lovely view of the pagoda outside, a cool bath tub and a stunning 4 post bed. The light and airy vibe makes photos come out so soft and light, this is great for your gallery and also perhaps for a first look shot.
The Stairs - This spot is great for a first looks too, but also a walk down to the ceremony. If we have time i also like to take couples here for a flash photo in the evening, especially nice if the weather isn’t great.
The Pagoda - This is the gem of the venue in my opinion. Both natural lit and flash photos always come out so nice here and as a bonus also makes a great backdrop for confetti and group photos !
The Rear Barn Area - I like to take couples here because it mixes up the vibe a little and adds some texture and contrast to the more light and airy spots around the front. It’s also nice to get some peace away for a moment and I find couples really enjoy this quiet patch to gather thoughts, enjoy the moment and to reset for the evening reception.
The Front Fountain Area - The fountain works and wow I think these shots out the front with the reflections are just gorgeous. The photos here tend to show off the venue behind as well, giving your photos a nice context in the moment. I also notice wedding guests really enjoy watching you both having some time together on your day, sometimes ill get some photos of this too ! I love candid and natural photos !
Well im so glad you’ve made it this far and I hope you have found this little snippet helpful in booking your venue or even after youve booked. Giving you more of an insight into Highfield Hall and why it is loved by photographer's and couples alike.
