Aldwark Manor Wedding Venue Harrogate York North Yorkshire

You’ve probably come across this because you’re either researching a North Yorkshire wedding or have already decided upon booking at Aldwark Manor

 

Originally built in 1865, Aldwark Manor has recently been extensively renovated with opulent décor and unique features, such as welcome drinks on Agatha, the vintage double-decker bus.

 

The house was commissioned by Lord Walsingham for his daughter and constructed under a Buckingham Palace architect. Contemporary refurbishment makes for moodily lit corners everywhere, a temperature-controlled wine tasting facility, several luxurious dining area options, including the Elements restaurant, all whilst still retaining the Victorian grandeur of tall windows flooding the stairwell with light, for the most elegant of wedding photographs. All this sits on a 120-acre estate including a golf course and spa.

 

At Alwark Manor, you and your partner can choose from a church wedding at the nearby St. Stephen’s, Holy Trinity, Little Ouseburn, St. John the Baptist, Easingwold, or choices further afield in Harrogate or York.

 

If choosing to stay on site with a civil ceremony at Aldwark Manor, speak to Northallerton Registrars at registrars.northallerton@northyorks.gov.uk

 

Ceremony venue options include the Walsingham Suite, Walsingham Garden, Barnes Wallis and Derwent Suite, whilst your evening reception can be held in the Ladybower Suite, complete with private bar and DJ facilities, overlooking the terrace.

 

Perhaps the day before, you could indulge your bridal and/or groom’s party with Champagne Afternoon Tea, whilst accommodation includes the Wensleydale Suite, with views of the estate and River Ure, and 50+ rooms beyond, from junior suites to deluxe rooms, classic rooms, doubles or twins, and the separate South Lodge on the estate, complete with hot tub!

 

Why Choose Champagne Shutter Photography?

 

I firmly believe in the right balance of friendly with a professional eye for detail. You are investing in expertise to ensure elegant heirlooms to keep forever after your wedding, but the best wedding photographs gain their elegance through your comfort with your wedding photographer, so that I can orchestrate the odd tweak, where needed, with no awkwardness. That’s why I pay close attention to your bespoke plans in our consultations leading up to your wedding and ensure a pre-wedding photography session to further aid your comfort. It’s from a genuine and authentic connection that the best wedding photography emerges.

 

With Tom at Champagne Shutter Photography, depending upon your chosen package, you can gain:

 

Unlimited coverage, usually circa 11 hours

From the curlers going in, to the party in full swing: preparation to dancing coverage, just beyond cake cut and first dance, including twilight couple’s portraits

 

Arrival to cover details and latter stages of preparation

Ceremony

Groups shots

Family shots

Couple Portraits

Couple’s portraits session at twilight, blue hour, sunset

 

Initial consultation meeting plus further planning consultation meeting to finalise your itinerary and requirements

 

Complimentary pre-wedding shoot (circa 2 & ½ hrs) to allow couples to get to know Tom’s approach, so you are comfortable in front of the lens prior to your wedding day – subject to mutually convenient date, (ideally but not exclusively mid-week) – provides photos for wedding save-the-dates, invites, website, or wall art

 

Skilled curation and editing of your online gallery (circa 600+ images on average)

 

Couple’s online gallery - download web resolution photos for online use, full resolution photos for prints & wall art orders – couples & family can “favourite” a selection of images to curate ideas for album design

 

Albums are available as either part of an integrated package or as an additional option later

 

Guests can enter a password-protected gallery to access and order social media downloads, prints, and wall art, from canvas, to framed, acrylic or metal prints

 

Couples can opt for two photographers – a second photographer is important if you want to cover more candid photos of friends during afternoon and evening receptions, when I am occupied with portraits elsewhere, and if you want to cover both of your preparations ahead of the ceremony
