Planning wedding photographs at West Tower
A country-house wedding in Aughton
West Tower is an exclusive-use wedding venue in Aughton, Lancashire, with landscaped gardens, a terrace and countryside views. Inside, the Ballroom, staircase and Cellar Bar offer different settings for the day. Photography can draw on that variety while still feeling like one coherent story, from the quieter preparations to the evening celebrations.
Portraits with the house in the background
Samantha and Adam’s opening image places them on the lawn in front of the house. It shows how a recognisable building can frame a portrait without becoming its main subject. For your wedding, we can make a short route through the available grounds and choose backgrounds that work with the light, your clothes and the flow of the reception.
The wedding morning and the moments between
The preparations in Samantha and Adam’s gallery bring another side to the story: make-up, time with friends and natural expressions before the ceremony. I look for those interactions as well as the planned events. Let me know where each of you will be getting ready so the coverage and any travel can be planned realistically.
Photographing a spring celebration
Light and weather influence which outdoor locations work best, especially when the day moves between the house and gardens. We can agree an initial portrait window and keep a little flexibility for later. Family groups are easier with a clear list and someone who knows the guests. Once those photographs are complete, the focus returns to the celebration around you.
