Yes, I offer a half-day booking for £795, which typically covers five hours. This package usually includes bridal preparations, the ceremony, formal group photos, bridal portraits (weather permitting with drone shots), and some twilight and restaurant shots if time allows. Digital downloads are included, and albums start from £295. Please note this option is available from October to March, excluding school and public holidays.
Are There Optional Extras Available?
Absolutely. You can add a second photographer for £250 to increase coverage and capture candid moments from multiple angles. A pre-wedding shoot is also available for £250, which is a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera before your big day.
What Makes Bagden Hall a Unique Venue for Wedding Photography?
Bagden Hall offers a truly English heritage feel, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to explore. Even if the Yorkshire weather isn’t on your side, the venue’s charming interiors provide fantastic backdrops for your photos. The grounds and the famous folly, which I affectionately call the gingerbread house, add a magical touch to your wedding album.
Its location in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, close to Huddersfield and other towns like Barnsley and Wakefield, means it’s accessible yet feels wonderfully secluded and special. I love capturing the natural moments here, from bridal prep in the elegant rooms to relaxed portraits in the gardens.
Why Do I Recommend Including Bridal Preparations in Your Coverage?
Bridal preparations are such a special part of the day, full of emotion and anticipation. Capturing these moments at Bagden Hall allows me to tell the full story of your wedding day, from the excitement of getting ready to those quiet, intimate details like your perfume, jewellery, and the dress.
How Do I Capture Natural Moments During Your Wedding?
I focus on photographing genuine interactions and emotions rather than posing you stiffly. The best wedding photos are often the ones where you’re not even aware I’m there, just enjoying your day with family and friends. This approach brings out your true character and ensures your album is filled with heartfelt memories.
What Experience Do I Bring as a Bagden Hall Wedding Photographer?
With over 25 years of experience, including recognition as a Guild of Photographers Top 10 Photographer of the Year and a Flash Masters Gold Award Winner, I bring a wealth of expertise to your wedding day. Having worked with many couples across Yorkshire, including in Batley, Huddersfield, and beyond, I understand how to create timeless, beautiful images that reflect your unique story.
My goal is to make your wedding photography experience relaxed and enjoyable, so you can focus on celebrating while I capture every meaningful moment.
Can I Also Book Wedding Videography?
Yes, I now offer wedding videography in partnership with Hazel from HD Films. We create highlight films of 10-20 minutes that beautifully complement your photography. Full-day videography packages are available starting at £1000 when booked alongside photography, with feature-length films also offered for around £1200.
These videos capture the atmosphere, candid moments, and key events of your day, providing another wonderful way to relive your wedding memories.
