Planning wedding photographs at Hornington Manor

A countryside wedding near York

Hornington Manor is in Bolton Percy, North Yorkshire, near York and Tadcaster. Its listed manor house, barns and countryside setting offer a different atmosphere from a city wedding. I first photographed a wedding here with Sally and Callum in September 2026, and their story gives you a real example of my work at the venue.

The manor as part of your story

The brickwork, paths and greenery around the manor create a recognisable setting for photographs. Sally and Callum’s portraits show the building and grounds alongside quieter moments together. I use those surroundings to add context while keeping the couple at the centre of the image, with simple direction that leaves room for natural expressions.

A relaxed approach to portraits

You do not need to arrive with a set of poses. We can take a short walk, find suitable light and make photographs that feel like you. The locations and timing will depend on the weather and the arrangements for your wedding. A brief portrait session can sit naturally within the day, leaving plenty of time for your guests and the celebration.

Plan the photographs around the day

Let me know your preparation locations, ceremony time and the family groups you would like photographed. We can agree a manageable plan and leave room for the unexpected moments too. For a countryside venue, it helps to be flexible about outdoor portraits and to keep an indoor option in mind if the weather changes.

If you are planning a Hornington Manor wedding, Sally and Callum’s gallery is a useful starting point for seeing my approach. Explore their photographs, then tell us about your date and the coverage you have in mind. We photograph weddings across Yorkshire; every final gallery is personally edited by Tom for a consistent finish.
