Autumn Elegance at Hawkstone Hall: Lucy & Craig’s Intimate Wedding in Shrewsbury

A Stunning Autumn Wedding at the Beautiful Hawkstone Hall in Shrewsbury

Lucy & Craig celebrated their stunning autumn wedding at Hawkstone Hall, one of the most spectacular wedding venues in the Midlands. As a Hawkstone Hall wedding photographer, I always love capturing weddings at this incredible venue, especially during the beautiful autumn months when the grounds are full of colour and atmosphere.

From their intimate ceremony in the chapel to the glowing natural light in the Winter Garden and the grandeur of The Saloon and Ballroom, every moment felt like it was pulled from a fairytale. Hawkstone Hall weddings always offer something magical, and this day was no exception.

Why Lucy & Craig Chose a Hawkstone Hall Wedding

I first met Lucy back in 2018 when she was a bridesmaid at her brother’s wedding at Somerford Hall (you can view their wedding blog here – Eleanor & Jake’s wedding). Fast forward a few years, and Lucy stepped into the spotlight as a bride herself – and what an honour it was to be asked to photograph her big day.

There’s no better recommendation than being booked by someone who’s seen you in action, and it’s such a privilege to be part of both family milestones.

Capturing Natural Moments at Hawkstone Hall

When we met for our pre-wedding meeting, Lucy and Craig made it clear that they wanted their wedding photography at Hawkstone Hall to be relaxed, natural, and full of candid moments. This matched their personalities perfectly – easy-going, fun, and full of laughter.

We created a photography plan that allowed them plenty of time with their guests, while still capturing all the elegant details Hawkstone Hall offers.

Relaxed Wedding Photography at Hawkstone Hall

One of my favourite moments of the day? Just after the ceremony, Lucy – who had initially felt a bit unsure about being in front of the camera – turned to me beaming and said, “I’m loving this! I want loads of pictures!” That shift in energy carried right through the day and gave us the most wonderful range of photos – relaxed, joyful, and full of personality.

Their gallery is packed with laughter, connection, and the undeniable chemistry between them. Exactly what I love to deliver as a Hawkstone Hall wedding photographer.

My Favourite Photography Locations at Hawkstone Hall

After photographing weddings at Hawkstone Hall, I’ve found some incredible portrait locations throughout the venue.

The Winter Garden offers beautiful soft natural light throughout the day, while The Saloon creates dramatic editorial-style portraits. The gardens are particularly stunning during golden hour, especially in autumn when the colours around the grounds really come alive.
