Hornington Manor Wedding

I started off with my 2023 wedding season for Lucinda and Ryan’s Hornington Manor wedding and what a fantastic day it was. Hornington Manor is one of the original barn wedding venues in Yorkshire and I love photographing weddings there. Lucinda looked amazing and I could see the emotion in Ryan’s eyes as he saw here for the first time. Their day was everything they wishes for with some great moments throughout the day.

Nestled in the heart of history, this enchanting estate provides a majestic backdrop for the most important day of your life. The air of romance is woven into the very fabric of the manor, making it the perfect canvas for your love story to unfold.

As a busy North Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, I get to work at all the best North Yorkshire wedding venues, and this is certainly the case when I return to be a Hornington Manor wedding photographer.  

Grade II listed Hornington Manor is a unique barn wedding venue in North Yorkshire just a 20-minute drive from the historic city of York.  Situated in 300 acres of peaceful countryside, this working farm offers a picture-perfect location for an elegant yet rustic barn wedding.  

Their newly launched Russett Ceremony Barn features a vaulted ceiling with incredible whalebone oak framed arches, original stonework walls and shimmering statement lighting.  Seamlessly blending old world charm with luxurious modern conveniences.   It seats up to 150 guests for civil ceremonies.  

Or you can choose to have an outdoor ceremony.  For outdoor ceremonies they offer two distinct locations.  The first is charming Lych Gate which is on the manor courtyard.  You say your vows underneath a pretty flower adorned archway with your guests seated around you.  Or you can choose to have a ceremony on the picture-perfect lawn, that offers panoramic views over the grazing sheep to the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside beyond.

Wedding receptions are always held in The Dining Barn.  This charming and rustic barn is a blank canvas for couples to dress to their tastes.  With elegant wood floors and a draped ceiling with feature wagon wheel chandeliers and rows of fairy and festoon lights, the Dining Barn has an ambient vibe perfect for a wedding celebration.  

It can accommodate up to 150 seated guests for a wedding breakfast and up to 200 guests in the evening.  Talking of evening celebrations, that’s when the dining barn really comes to life.  It has its own bar, a dancefloor, specific space for a live band or DJ and stairs that lead to a mezzanine level.  Here you can take a break from the dancefloor and rest on comfy sofas and arm chairs.  It’s the perfect spot to watch the party continue below.   

Add to that guest toilets, a cloakroom for coats and storing presents, and a space for catering and you have everything you could ever need for an epic wedding celebration all in one place.  

When I capture wedding photography at Hornington Manor, I love whisking my couples away for a few minutes for a mini photoshoot around the gardens and grounds and into the nearby hayfields.  It’s the perfect location for my style of relaxed documentary wedding photography.
