Why Hooton Pagnell Hall is So Personal to Me
My connection to Hooton Pagnell Hall goes far beyond photography.
I spent my childhood here—my grandparents owned the house before it was passed down to my parents. Over the years, I’ve watched it evolve into one of the most beautiful wedding venues in South Yorkshire, including the transformation of the Tithe Barn into the space couples love today.
Even now, living here, it never loses its magic. And that familiarity allows me to photograph weddings here in a way that feels effortless, natural, and deeply considered.
