Beautiful Wedding Photography at Hawkstone Hall
Hi, I’m Jordan Fox! A professional wedding photographer in Shropshire. Come take a trip to a Hawkstone Hall wedding for Dawn and Paul’s beautifully classy day
It was a black-tie affair—and if you know me, you know how much I adore black-tie weddings!
Guests sipped on Aperol spritzes out on the lawn, playfully guessing how long the speeches might last.
In a thoughtful gesture, the groom surprised the bride with a stunning Cartier necklace to wear for the occasion.
The bridesmaids looked radiant in baby blue, perfectly complementing the elegant atmosphere.
Enjoy the highlights!
The Bridal Preps at Hawkstone Hall
Arriving at Hawkstone Hall on a wedding morning is always a special moment. The venue is quiet and calm, with just the right amount of excitement in the air as the day starts to take shape. It’s the perfect time to get stuck in, capturing the little details and natural moments that make every wedding unique.
I typically arrive a couple of hours before the ceremony begins. This gives me plenty of time to blend in with the morning atmosphere, take photos of the preparation process, and snap those small but meaningful touches. Whether it’s a quiet laugh between friends, the flawless dress hanging ready, or the final touch of a makeup brush, these moments tell the story of the day in a way that feels real and unposed.
Hawkstone Hall’s Bridal Wing, known as ‘Brontë,’ is designed to make getting ready relaxed and enjoyable. With its light, spacious layout and stunning views of the gardens, it’s a fantastic backdrop for the morning. There are dedicated hair and makeup stations, so everyone has room to prep without feeling rushed. There’s also comfortable seating, hanging racks for dresses, and a breakfast buffet that’s perfect for keeping energy levels up before the main event. It’s a space that really makes the bridal party feel at ease from the start.
What’s brilliant about mornings like these is that they aren’t rushed. There’s a natural pace to it all, giving everyone a chance to soak in the day before it gets going. For me, it’s a privilege to document these moments as they unfold. It’s not about staging anything; it’s about capturing the genuine energy of the day in a way that feels effortless.
The Bridal Wing at Hawkstone Hall has everything you could want to start your day in style. It’s practical, beautiful, and sets the perfect tone for the celebrations ahead. From the calm of the morning preps to the excitement of what’s to come, it’s a lovely space where the day truly begins.
The Ceremony at Hawkstone Hall
Hawkstone Hall offers a variety of enchanting settings for your wedding ceremony, and today’s celebration took place in the magnificent Chapel. As the string quartet filled the space with beautiful melodies, friends and family eagerly awaited the bride. Dawn was breathtaking as she walked down the aisle arm-in-arm with her father, creating a moment to remember.
This luxury wedding venue is a masterpiece of elegance and charm. From the intricate, ornate ceilings of the Ballroom and the towering arched windows of The Saloon to the majestic grandeur of The Chapel and the bright, airy atmosphere of the Winter Garden, Hawkstone Hall is a perfect backdrop for any celebration.
The Drinks Reception at Hawkstone Hall
As the drinks reception kicked off, everyone’s favorite summer drink was flowing—it’s such a joy to see guests relaxing and enjoying themselves! During these 90 minutes, I stuck to my candid photography style, capturing all the laughter, hugs, and happy moments as they happened. Once the bride and groom had been showered with congratulations, we set aside about 15 minutes for a few group shots. I always keep these quick and fun because, let’s be honest, the day is about making memories, not spending it in front of the camera. My goal is to keep things relaxed, letting everyone soak up the celebration while I capture the magic unfolding naturally.
The Wedding Breakfast at Hawkstone Hall
We’re about halfway through the day with my photography package, and I love taking a breather during the meal. It’s the perfect chance to reflect on the moments I’ve captured so far and recharge—both my batteries and myself! 😊
Once the plates are cleared, it’s time for the speeches (it took place in the Ballroom). This part always brings a mix of excitement and curiosity—what surprises does the best man have up his sleeve? Thankfully, these speeches hit all the right notes—short, sweet, and full of heart.
What I truly enjoy most, though, is capturing those genuine reactions during the speeches. The laughter, the big smiles, and even the occasional tear—it’s these raw, real moments that make the day so special. Moments like these are why I love what I do.
Side note - the food at Hawkstone Hall was delicious!
Evening Reception at Hawkstone Hall
Our happily married duo, Paul and Dawn, warmly greeted the evening guests, all ready to celebrate and party the night away! Meanwhile, the day guests enjoyed a charming interlude outdoors, soaking in the fresh air and playing delightful lawn games before the much-anticipated cake cutting and first dance.
Paul and Dawn thoughtfully arranged a photo booth with a variety of fun props. It was the perfect way for guests to join in the fun, snap some silly photos, and create unforgettable memories.
The wedding party was full of joy as music filled the beautiful surroundings of Hawkstone Hall! The dance floor buzzed with laughter and energetic moves, making for some truly wonderful wedding photos. It was heartwarming to see friends and family bring their love and energy to such a perfect summer evening.
After capturing plenty of lively dance floor moments, I said goodbye to Paul and Dawn and looked forward to editing these Hawkstone Hall pictures for them to cherish.
