A DOCUMENTARY APPROACH TO ELY’S MOST BEAUTIFUL VENUE
The Old Hall, Ely, with its stunning grounds, historic architecture, and views across the Fens, is a venue defined by its natural, classic beauty. As your documentary photographer, my role is simple: to capture that beauty without ever becoming a distraction.
A formal venue doesn’t require stiff, formal posing. In fact, its timeless elegance is best captured through honest moments. While you and your guests are enjoying the stunning drawing-rooms, mingling on the terrace, or sharing a quiet moment, I am working unobtrusively in the background. My promise is no interruptions, no awkward staging, and absolutely no turning your wedding day into a photography set.
I focus on the authentic, candid moments: the subtle glance, the roar of laughter during the speeches, and the spontaneous joy of the evening celebration. The resulting photographs will be a true reflection of the atmosphere you created at The Old Hall, Ely—honest, beautiful, and completely unposed.
