Hornington Manor Wedding Photographer
Alexandra & Alex’s amazing wedding/party!
It doesn’t matter if it rains and pours or you have a heatwave on your wedding day. It’s the people, the emotion and the vibe of the day that matters. Alexandra & Alex had rain pretty much all day when I was their Hornington Manor wedding photographer – however – it was one of the most fun and emotional weddings that I’ve ever covered. In Alexandra & Alex’s wedding photographs that follow, you’ll see dozens of smiles, images of laughter and lots of emotional tears – all documented naturally and unposed from the morning preparations until the party on the Hornington fairy light dance floor!
Hornington Manor Weddings: A Stunning Yorkshire Venue for Your Big Day
Hornington Manor, a beautiful 18th-century manor house in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside, could be just what you’re after. It’s a wedding venue that combines historic charm with modern elegance.
As a wedding photographer, I’ve captured countless celebrations, but there’s something truly special about Hornington Manor. With exclusive use of the entire estate, couples can create a completely personal wedding experience, surrounded by rolling fields, rustic stone buildings, and beautifully kept gardens.
The barn, with its exposed beams and warm, characterful interiors, provides a magical setting for a celebration—whether you’re planning a cosy, candlelit winter wedding or a summer bash with fairy lights and floral decor. Every corner of this venue offers stunning backdrops for those all-important wedding photos, from golden-hour portraits in the fields to relaxed group shots in the charming courtyard.
The flexibility of the venue means you can move seamlessly from one space to another throughout your day. Say your vows in the elegant drawing room or outdoors with sweeping countryside views, then celebrate in the barn with its warm, inviting feel. With space for up to 36 guests to stay on-site, you and your loved ones can enjoy the whole wedding experience together, from the night before to a relaxed breakfast the next morning.
The History of Hornington Manor
Dating back to the 1700s, Hornington Manor has a rich history that adds to its charm. Once a working farm, it’s now one of Yorkshire’s most sought-after wedding venues, carefully restored to maintain its original character. The Yorkshire stone walls, oak beams, and grand fireplaces create a timeless feel, perfect for capturing elegant, natural wedding photos.
Outside, the grounds are just as impressive. The cobbled courtyard is ideal for drinks receptions and relaxed group photos, while the surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for romantic portraits. Whether you prefer a grand entrance in front of the manor’s imposing façade or an intimate moment under the ancient oak tree, there’s no shortage of breathtaking spots.
What makes Hornington Manor so special is how effortlessly it fits your vision. Whether you’re planning a formal black-tie affair or a laid-back, festival-style celebration, the venue’s flexibility lets you bring your ideas to life.
The dedicated team at Hornington are known for their attention to detail, ensuring every couple feels supported throughout the planning process. From coordinating with suppliers to managing unexpected weather changes, they handle everything behind the scenes so you can enjoy your day stress-free.
Stunning Photography Opportunities
As a photographer, I love working at Hornington Manor because every wedding feels unique. The golden fields at sunset, the rustic charm of the barn, and the soft light pouring through the manor’s windows all create a perfect setting for natural, timeless wedding photos. Whether it’s a fun confetti moment on the lawn or a quiet evening portrait as the sun dips below the horizon, your memories here will be beautifully captured.
