Wedding Photography Ideas at Whitley Hall Hotel

The outdoor ceremony area looks absolutely incredible draped in string lights, it’s such a romantic setting, the orange glow of lights and the gorgeous big pergola.

Equally beautiful is the indoor wedding ceremony room, so if the weather is not looking great or you are planning a gorgeous winter wedding there is always a perfect plan B on hand!
There is not a lot of natural light in the ceremony room so it’s important to choose a wedding photographer who is experienced and has the right equipment to deliver beautifully lit pictures of the most important part of your day indoors or outside and whatever the weather and you can read more about how I work on a rainy day below.

If the ceremony is indoors, as an experienced Sheffield wedding photographer I have the technical expertise and have invested in professional lighting equipment and low light cameras to ensure that you receive perfectly lit images as you say your vows and take your first kiss.
For indoor ceremonies the lighting I use is discreet and flattering, my aim is for your family and friends to remain focussed on you… no one wants to have direct camera flash in their face throughout the ceremony as it’s distracting and creates harsh unflattering images.
The gorgeous courtyard at Whitley Hall
At Whitley Hall after your ceremony you have a whole private area of the grounds to relax, enjoy the food and catch up with all your guests. The whole team go out of their way to ensure everything runs absolutely perfectly, from your wedding co-ordinator to the bar staff and kitchen team nothing is ever too much trouble.
The courtyard area is beautiful, the original manor house on three sides with a sundial over the entrance and a paved pathway area, the perfect spot to relax, take some lovely photographs and let the excitement of your wedding ceremony sink in.
You may even get a guest appearance from Paddy the Peacock!

Winter Weddings with a Christmas feel at Whitley Hall
One stunning feature of the Christmas decorations at Whitley Hall is the large festive tree in the centre of the courtyard.
It looks incredible draped in hundreds of twinkle lights and matching festive decorations. I love to sneak couples outside for a moment in the evening just as twilight sets in for a romantic shot under the Christmas lights.
There are lots of other little areas such as the pergola nestled in trees, a paved terrace area and the incredible main staircase all of which are decorated to offer a romantic festive feel for relaxed intimate pictures of just the two of you.
What if it rains on my Whitley Hall Sheffield Wedding Day!
If you hire a great wedding photographer for your Whitley Hall wedding then there’s absolutely no need to worry. If you are planning a late autumn or winter wedding the chances increase a little but a rainy windy wedding day becomes an opportunity to get out the weather sealed camera kit and create some truly beautiful and unique wedding photographs.
So, if you do pull back the curtains on your big day to find it’s throwing it down don’t stress! The creative off camera flash comes out along with the strobes and an umbrella or two and between us we will create beautiful and dramatic ‘wow’ shots of the two of you both inside and outside of the venue.
I set up all the required lighting without you, that way you are outdoors for as little time as possible, I just walk you into the shot, take it and then you can get back to the party!
Importantly I also bring along lots of additional lighting for indoor group shots when the forecast looks wet.
The great thing about Whitley Hall is there are so many options indoors for gorgeous candid photographs and using my professional lighting setup its possible to take beautiful flattering indoor formal group photographs.
