Looking for a photographer for your Stanley House wedding?
My style of photography is very relaxed and weddings at Stanley House would be no different. A typical wedding day would be starting with the groom for his preparations with his groomsmen, before moving to the bride for the majority of the time. I like to get very involved with the camera, stuck in, which makes my compositions more powerful. Of course my camera is 100% silent so you will not hear the noise of the shutter at any stage. This just helps me capture unobtrusively. A few of my receptions at Stanley House Hotel have had ceremonies at local churches, but others have been in the main rooms. There is always a sense of high emotion at weddings, and I love to capture this.
One of the features of photographing weddings at Stanley House I love the most is the location of the sunsets the have. The suns sets over the distant hills and this has produced the most incredible images over the years. This time is still not posed, I ask you to just enjoy yourselves, however using the incredible backdrop and surrounds, I try to produce both vibrant and colourful photos that represent you as a couple.

I was lucky enough to join a couple on a helicopter ride over Stanley House a few years ago and I have seen for myself the surroundings in which it is set. The hotel offers gourmet British food, The Grill or Mr. Fred’s –the perfect place to eat. A little shout out to Paul Guard wedding entertainer who features in this gallery. If you want to relax in style, then it also offers a spa for you to relax and have those special treatments you deserve.
