The Old Hall Ely Wedding Photographer
Documentary coverage against the fens and Ely Cathedral, Ely, Cambridgeshire
Your day happens once. Choose how you want to feature in it.
The Old Hall's flat fenland views, its lake, and Ely Cathedral on the horizon give a wedding day room most venues can't match. Whether you want it told exactly as it happened or want a set of relaxed portraits woven in, how you feature in your own day is entirely your call, starting from £2,000.
Pure Documentary
At The Old Hall your day moves from the conservatory to the lake to the outdoor ceremony space. I follow that movement as it happens, no group set ups, no repeated moments for the camera, just a few natural minutes set aside for portraits of the two of you. Guests get the same honest treatment you do.
See The UnscriptedDocumentary + Portraits
Same unscripted thread through the day, with time carved out on the walk around the lake for your portraits, and family groups kept tight before everyone moves on to the celebrations.
See Classic CoverageAs a recommended supplier, a little extra
I'm a recommended supplier at The Old Hall, and every couple who books me here gets three things added to their package.
Your pre-wedding shoot is a great place to start, take a look at some recent engagement photography to see what to expect.
Already worked into the price. Nothing to negotiate.
Gallery Upgrade
A complimentary upgrade to your final gallery, giving you more images and a longer delivered archive of your day.
30% Off Albums
A meaningful discount on a printed album, so the photos end up somewhere better than a hard drive.
Pre-Wedding Shoot, Special Rate
A relaxed shoot at a location of your choice before the day, offered to The Old Hall couples at a significantly reduced rate.
Six things I love about The Old Hall
The Sunset Hour
The fens are flat, but that's exactly why the sunsets here are extraordinary, wide open sky with Ely Cathedral standing on the horizon behind you.
A Team That Runs the Day
The team at The Old Hall are properly professional. Your day runs smoothly from start to finish, which means I get to spend my time photographing rather than managing logistics.
The Walk Around the Lake
Portraits here aren't a photoshoot, they're a walk around the lake with your new spouse. Real moments, not posed ones, which is exactly how I like to work anyway.
Country Meets Old Club
The Old Hall sits somewhere between chilled out country vibes and a gorgeous old club feel, a mix that gives every wedding here its own atmosphere.
The Conservatory
Light, intimate, and exactly right for smaller ceremonies and wedding parties who want the day to feel personal rather than grand.
The Outdoor Ceremony
Nothing prepares you for walking into this ceremony space, flanked by family and friends on either side. It's one of the most emotional entrances I photograph anywhere.
Six reasons we should talk
Already a recommended supplier
I'm on The Old Hall's own recommended list. That usually means the venue trusts how I work with their team, not just that I paid for a listing.
It's built into what you pay
A gallery upgrade, a discount on albums, and a pre-wedding shoot at a special rate are already worked into what you pay when you book me here.
I work with the schedule, not against it
The Old Hall's team runs a tight day. I fit around that pace rather than slowing it down with a long shot list.
One price, wherever you marry
The Unscripted and Classic Coverage are £2,000 at The Old Hall, same as everywhere else I shoot.
A short call before you commit
Enquire and we'll talk through your day. You'll know within 24 hours whether I'm free and whether we're the right fit.
I still find new corners
Even with a venue I know well, the walk around the lake and the older club rooms give me something a little different every time.
Things couples usually ask
Why do you like shooting at The Old Hall?
The mix of relaxed country grounds and the older, clubbier interior gives every wedding here its own atmosphere, and the walk around the lake for portraits rarely feels like a photoshoot.
Are you an approved photographer at The Old Hall?
Yes, I'm a recommended supplier there, which means the venue's own team already knows how I work on the day.
Do you shoot documentary style, or do you direct people?
Mostly documentary, real moments as they happen. If you'd prefer more direction, Classic Coverage leans that way instead, it's your choice, not a fixed house style.
How does the pre-wedding shoot work?
A relaxed shoot before the wedding, usually an hour or two, at a location you choose. Good practice for the camera, and a chance for me to get to know you both.
Is the price the same as your other packages?
Yes. The Unscripted and Classic Coverage are £2,000 regardless of venue, and Old Hall couples get the gallery upgrade, album discount, and pre-wedding shoot at a special rate on top.
How soon after the wedding do we get our photos?
Full galleries are typically delivered within six to eight weeks, with a handful of favourites shared much sooner.
Somewhere between the conservatory and the last dance, your day happened once.
