Hawkstone Hall Wedding Photographer

Elegant, Authentic Wedding Photography at one of Shropshire’s Most Romantic Venues

Hawkstone Hall is a true gem – an 18th-century mansion set in 88 acres of Shropshire countryside. With its grand interiors, sweeping gardens, and serene chapel, it’s a dream venue for couples wanting a luxury wedding that still feels warm, relaxed, and deeply personal.

As a wedding photographer who blends timeless portraiture with emotional candids, I love working at Hawkstone Hall. I’ve had the joy of photographing many beautiful weddings here, each one full of unforgettable moments and romantic backdrops. Whether you’re planning an outdoor celebration or a candlelit chapel ceremony, Hawkstone offers endless inspiration.

Why I Adore Photographing Weddings at Hawkstone Hall

My connection to Hawkstone Hall began before I even worked here. For our birthdays in July 2020, my mum and I treated ourselves to an afternoon tea in The Saloon and spent time exploring the gardens. We were lucky enough to be offered a private tour—and I remember being completely enchanted by the natural light, elegant architecture, and peaceful surroundings.

Since then, I’ve returned as a photographer, and every visit reminds me why it’s such a special place to say “I do.”

The Grounds: Romantic and Full of Possibility

While the gardens are expansive, they’re also full of charming, tucked-away corners—perfect for intimate, relaxed portraits. Whether you’re wandering hand-in-hand past the statues, stealing a kiss beneath the trees, or soaking in golden hour light, the setting creates magic.

As someone who’s always on the lookout for quiet moments, I love using these little hideaways to photograph connection in a way that feels totally you.

The Interiors: Light-Filled and Cinematic

One of my favourite things about Hawkstone Hall? The floor-to-ceiling windows. Natural light pours into almost every room, creating soft, romantic backdrops for portraits, ceremonies, and candid moments with your guests.

Even on rainy days, there’s no shortage of beautiful spaces to photograph indoors—perfect for couples who want a stress-free experience no matter the weather.

The Ceremony: Saying “I Do” in the Chapel

The Chapel at Hawkstone Hall is one of the most impressive ceremony spaces in the region. With high ceilings, intricate detailing, and an almost regal atmosphere, it’s made for unforgettable vows. I always make sure to capture both the big emotional beats and the quiet glances that tell the real story of your love.

Real Weddings at Hawkstone Hall

I’ve photographed weddings here, and each one has its own unique flavour – from garden cocktail hours to floating balloons on the dance floor. I’ll be sharing full galleries soon, but in the meantime, you can explore Real Weddings to see more of my work.

Here’s what one couple had to say:

“From start to finish, Laura made us feel completely at ease. She captured every emotional moment without us even realising she was there—our photos from Hawkstone are beyond anything we could have hoped for. Elegant, real, and full of heart. We’ll treasure them forever.”

Lulu and Simon’s small and intimate Chelsea wedding was such a wonderful day to be a part of: both the style and the joy were sky high. What I loved most about it (other than Lulu’s incredible dress…more on that in a minute) is how she and Simon did things their own way, and had […]

When I’m not capturing weddings or business owners, you can find me on a family or relaxed newborn baby photo session.  It’s a privilege to photograph special moments between loved ones. Particularly when a baby is just a few weeks old and brand new to the world! In this blog I’ll take you behind the […]

Ursula and Chris’ Rowton Castle ultimate autumnal small wedding day was a gorgeous thing to be a part of as their wedding photographer, for so many reasons.  First, it was at Rowton Castle, which is one of my favourite Shropshire wedding venues. Secondly, they had a lovely autumnal theme to the day, which looked stunning. […]
