Liberty and Joseph had a beautiful winter wedding at Wortley Hall hotel in South Yorkshire. I adore working at Wortley, the stunning hall and grounds make the perfect backdrop for any wedding, not to mention the team there are first class.

I was booked for a half day which Liberty and Joseph opted to cover getting ready to speeches. Half day packages can be tailored to suit your needs, many couples also opt for photography from getting ready to speeches and some prefer ceremony to a little later. The choice really is yours.

The honeymoon suite at Wortley Hall is bright with large windows. I took advantage of the winter light to do some portraits of Liberty and her stunning dress. Her and her bridesmaids were incredibly calm all morning and it was lovely to photograph her morning unfold.

A break from tradition at Wortley hall and a first for me, the couple had chosen to marry in what is know as the dining hall and hold their wedding breakfast in the room where I usually photograph the ceremony. The pink and red roses really popped against the dark wooden panels and the whole room had a classic, elegant feel to it.

The ceremony was full of emotions and clearly showed how much love the families both have for each other as well as for the couple. It was clear to see the deep friendship between Joseph and Liberty and the incredibly strong bond too. The ceremony was beautifully conducted by Barnsley registration services.

With a later wedding the light in December was beginning to fade and so in agreement with the couple we made the most of not only the light but also the weather and headed outside for formal photos. There are plenty of beautiful places in Wortley Hall for formal photos. I quickly worked through the list from the couple and we headed inside to warm up.

Whilst we had a few couple photos outside, Liberty and Joseph also made the most of the beautiful interior at Wortley and had a couple of ideas of their own that they wanted to try. I love the opportunity to be be creative and Wortley is the perfect place to do this.
