Looking for a photographer for your wedding at Thornton Manor?

Being a Thornton Manor wedding photographer is one of those very special thing. It is simply one of the best venues in all the North West and I just love shooting there. It offers everything from a grand manor house, sculptured gardens and a great team who will look after you on the day. My style of photography is all about natural and relaxed images. Below is a handful of my favourites taken at this Thornton Manor wedding all taken in my award winning unposed style.

Incredible wedding at Thornton Manor

One of Cheshire’s premier wedding venues set on the Wirral, first built in the middle of the 19th Century. With its spacious grounds and numerous rooms and halls to choose from to get married, it is the perfect place to get married and have wedding photography at Thornton Manor. Shooting here is just a dream, I can’t believe I get to use a camera for a living.

The Manor is one of the most grand venues in the entire North-West. Danni and her bridesmaids used the bridal suite for their preparations. The flowers girls made the morning, having fun in their dresses and with their flowers. I love photographing at Thornton Manor, just brilliant. The backdrops from almost every angle make for capturing great photos.

Below is a short gallery of photos from Danni and Ben’s wedding at Thornton Manor. Whether you are getting married in the Manor, Waterside Marquee, Lakeside Marquee or Walled Garden Pavilion, then please get in touch to discuss your wedding.

NOT FOR POSERS!

Photographing the wedding fireworks

Into the evening, after the speeches was time for the cake cutting, first dance and then party. Danni & Ben surprised all their guests with Thornton Manor’s epic fireworks in the evening. Everyone headed outside the grand hall, into the cold, sparklers in hand. So much fun to be part of, all the wedding guests loved it and it made for wonderful photos.

What Thornton Manor has to offer

For a touch of magic, head to Thornton Manor for a lakeside wedding with sparkle. From luxurious touches to tons of space for guests and a beautiful lakeside setting, Thornton Manor is sure to shimmer its way to the top of your list for your wedding. Situated in Wirral, Cheshire, sought-after Thornton Manor is a spectacular Grade II listed stately home in the picturesque north west countryside – incredible for photographers. Frequented by many members of the royal family, as well as heads of state and other famous faces over the years, this is an astounding venue for so many reasons. Offering up a sumptuous Elizabethan Manor House, divine Lakeside marquee, woodland Waterside Pavilion and impressive Walled Garden Marquee, you have all of the ingredients needed to create the unique, personalised event that you want.

Built in the 1800s, William Lever (of the Lever Brothers – now known as Unilever), renovated and extended Thornton Manor making it into the stunning place that it is today to have your wedding photography. Use of the sumptuous Thornton Manor and contemporary marquees means that you have so much choice for where to hold the wedding ceremony, drinks reception, dinner and dancing. For the ceremony alone there are rooms, pavilions, spaces and marquees to choose from. Inside the Manor there are exquisitely decorated, opulent period rooms, providing three alternatives for the service alone at Thornton Manor. What does look incredible in the photographs is the walnut panelling, ornate plaster work, refined period paintings on the walls and a view to the magnificent grounds outside. This looks just incredible in your wedding photographs too, the light is just stunning and a joy to use a camera at.

Beautiful Light for a wedding in the manor house

Ben and his groomsmen got ready in a nearby cottage aptly named ‘Groom’s Cottage’ at Thornton Manor. Lots of fun and antics before heading to the Manor for the main ceremony. The light during the ceremony is just perfect for wedding photos because of the large bright and light windows at the far end, lighting the newlyweds perfectly. After the rings were exchanged and register signed, it was time for drinks and canapés. Confetti followed later and some portraits of the newlyweds.

Thornton Manor and stunning photography

Marquees and the pavilion by the lake, are grand, spacious and bright which looks incredible in the photos. With floor to ceiling windows, endless grounds and plenty of space on the dance floor, the only difficulty is which to choose. Whether it is the bewitching waterside spaces with their boats, meadows and bridges or exclusive, palatial walled garden with its sweeping lawns. Flexible too, are the guest numbers with the Waterside Pavilion, seating 40 or more wedding guests, perfect for intimate celebrations and the Walled Garden Marquee with space for up to 1,000 seated. Thornton Manor has 120 acres of grounds, and is bursting with fragrant flowers, lush trees and plants, and the lake. Having a stroll around for your wedding photos at Thornton Manor.
