Moat House Wedding Photography
Hannah & Wayne.
Hannah & Wayne were married at The Moat House in Acton Trussell. The wedding ceremony took place in the Colin Lewis suit, a 14th Century moated manor with it’s oak beams and fairy lights a truly romantic setting for your service.
Any time of the year the Moat House offers so much choice for your wedding photographs, come rain or shine, we have even photograph in snow, you are guaranteed some remarkable backdrops for your wedding photographs.
I’m fortunate enough to be one a few selected preferred suppliers for this venue and even though I have photographed here for over 15 years it always throws something new up for me. I will often walk the venue when the Bride & groom with all their wedding guests are having the wedding breakfast, looking for something different.
Hannah & Wayne opted for my all day coverage, so I started in the morning with the Bridal preparations and worked through until the evening with the dancing and party in full swing.
This coverage for me helps tell the full story of the day, capturing all those moments and guest interactions along with some creative images of the couple. It’s important that couples who book me spend time with their guests and enjoy the day, so we keep group photo’s down to a minimum, something we discuss together prior to the wedding.
Each month, each season will offer something a little different for each and every wedding.
I have added a selection of images from Hannah & Wayne’s big day at The Moat House….

Summer Wedding at The Moat House Acton Trussell Staffordshire with Demi + Sam
The Moat House
I have been meaning to blog this wedding at The Moat House in Acton Trussell for a while.
Demi & Sam had chosen the Colin Lewis suit for their wedding ceremony followed by a reception held in the Acton Suit.
My day started up in the bridal suit for all the preparations and the all important details. I spent around 30 minutes with the Bride before heading out to meet the groom and his best man.
I just documented the guys whilst they were enjoying a few beers in the summer sun.
Design elegance were on hand proving all the room décor and later the photo booth in the evening.
I have worked at the Moat House numerous times over the years and its always a pleasure re visiting this lovely venue, the grounds are stunning along with the lakes and canal there is also the opportunity to pop into a nearby field for shots with hay bails or other colourful crops.
Heres a few images from Demi + Sams wedding at The Moat house.

Summer Weddings At The Moat House
A few weeks ago I was back at the Moat House in Acton Trussell For Holly and Pauls Summer wedding.
The day started with a trip to the Bride’s home for her preparation photographs
I usually start with the details such as the Brides shoes, jewellery, wedding dress and Perfume; these make a nice spread in the wedding album.
Then I tend to follow on with the hair and make up, but this is done towards the end when the final touches are being applied, all this is done in an unobtrusive manner so I wont ask you to pose for anything.
Once I had all the preps done it was time to head over to St Michaels and meet the groom and his entourage to capture them arriving at the church.
Holly arrived a little later and looked amazing, her walk up to the church with her dad and Bridesmaids was another opportunity to grab some natural images.
It’s always nice to mix the more natural shots with a limited number of formal photographs, this helps tell the story of the day rather than having everything rigid and posed. Weddings for me should be fun, show excitement, emotions and moments that can’t be posed or copied.
After the service we headed over to the moat house, Platinum wedding cars provided the transport for the couple, they have immaculate cars and provide a first class service so check them out if you are looking for wedding cars.
During the drinks reception I photographed the groups that the couple had requested, and then took them for a walk around the grounds to get some of timeless images across the lake.
It proved very entraining trying to do this with a swan that has some serious social issue J you can check out his antics in the blog photos.
Holly and Paul had gone for all day coverage so this is usually from the bridal preparations through to the couples dance in the evening, I tend to hang on after this for a few dance floor shots and maybe a nice dusk shot with the tree all lit up, this looks amazing at night and is a must get shot for anyone getting Married at the Moat House.
Anyway thanks for looking please check out a few images from the day.

The Moat House
Rebecca & Ben’s service took place in a lovely church near Wombourne, followed by a reception at The Moat house in Acton Trussell. The photography at the church was mostly documentary just capturing those little moments as the guests arrived with a few key images of the groom and his best man.
After the service we had around an hours drive back to the moat house and thankfully the couple had allowed plenty of time for photographs at the venue.
As they had booked me all day I decided to take some of the images after the meal as they had around an hour prior to the evening guest arriving, this gave them more time with the guests during the day and kept everything nice and relaxed. Rebecca and Ben were great to work for and gave me more than enough time to document their day.
We had glorious weather all day and into the evening with a beautiful sunset.
Here are a few of my favourites from the day.
