Middleton Lodge is one of those venues that feels like a proper escape, the kind of place you choose when you want your wedding to feel like a weekend with your favourite people, not a one-day whirlwind.
Set in the North Yorkshire countryside near Richmond, it’s elegant, design-led, and beautifully paced.
I’m Laura, and I photograph weddings across the UK. I’ve worked at Middleton Lodge as a second photographer, so I know the general rhythm of the venue and what it feels like on a wedding day.
Why Middleton Lodge suits modern, relaxed weddings
The reason venues like Middleton Lodge work so well is that they naturally encourage a slower pace: getting ready on-site, guests arriving and settling in, and a day that can unfold without too much travel or faff.
If you care about atmosphere, good food, great people, and a day that feels easy – it’s a brilliant choice.
What I focus on when I’m photographing at Middleton Lodge
I’m always looking for the feeling of the day:
- the build-up (the quiet nerves and the excited energy)
- guests properly connecting (not just “sitting through” a schedule)
- the in-between moments you won’t see at the time
- portraits that feel like a breather, not a performance
I’ll guide you when it helps, and disappear into the background when it doesn’t.
Why your timeline matters more than you think
If you want your wedding photos to feel natural, your day needs room to breathe. That’s especially true around your drinks reception, when everything happens at once.
I’ve written a simple breakdown of why it matters here: Why time is so important on your wedding day.
