Why Choose The Barnsdale for Your Wedding


The Barnsdale offers beautiful light-filled spaces, a stunning terrace overlooking Rutland Water, and elegant interiors that make for incredible backdrops. From outdoor ceremonies on the terrace to lively receptions inside, it’s a venue with so much variety to capture.

As someone who has photographed weddings here, I know the best spots for portraits, the hidden corners for quiet moments, and how to make the most of the changing light throughout the day.


My Approach to Barnsdale Wedding Photography


Every couple deserves wedding photos that feel authentic – not staged or forced. I won’t hand you a long shot list or ask you to spend hours posing. Instead, I’ll be there to document the natural flow of your day: laughter with friends, the proud look from a parent, the energy on the dance floor.


I typically stay until just after the first dance, so you’ll have a full story of your wedding captured. If you’re planning a bigger party that runs late into the night, extra coverage can be added. Find more information about that on my pricing page.
