Simone & Justin’s Hornington Manor North Yorkshire Wedding

Simone & Justin recently got married at the stunning Hornington Manor and what an incredible day it was! Hornington Manor is the picture perfect spot for a beautiful Yorkshire wedding.  Hornington Manor is a unique barn wedding venue in North Yorkshire. The grade II listed venue is set within the grounds of a 300 acre farm near York.

The Day

It was a pleasure to be invited to capture the North Yorkshire Wedding of Simone & Justin just before Christmas. 

We began the relaxed morning with candid wedding photography in the dressing suite. Wedding mornings can often be quite busy and hectic so it was lovely to enjoy such a peaceful start to the day. MACH Management did a stunning job with hair and make up! 

Hornington Manor is more than able to accommodate both parties’ preparations seamlessly thanks to all the space the farm house has to offer. While the bride squad were in a large reception space with gorgeous bay windows streaming light in, the groomsmen were on site at the far side of the accommodation, putting the final touches to their suits and bowties. This means I was able to move between both parties really easily and capture moments they’re able to treasure forever, from parts of the day the other person wouldn’t ever otherwise get to see.

The Ceremony

As is sometimes the way with the great British weather it was a stormy day. That didn’t stop everyone having a fantastic day regardless though! The ceremony itself was held over in the dedicated Russet Barn, adorned with incredible whalebone framed arches into the vaulted ceiling. 

Thanks to the storm, we opted to throw confetti down the aisle indoors and as guests enjoyed canapés and live music, we photographed the family portraits. 

Not long after, the storm actually took out the power briefly, so we headed over to the main farmhouse to take bridal portraits.

The Reception 

Guests were treated to a round of speeches filled with love and laughter, before the wedding breakfast began.

We kicked off the evening’s festivities by Simone & Justin taking to the floor for their first dance! The band had everyone dancing from then on.

Everyone partied long into the night. With the festivities in full swing I didn’t pack away my cameras until nearly 11pm!
