Laura & Thomas’ Barton Hall Wedding – Golden Hour, Laughter & a Surprise That Got Everyone Dancing!


Some weddings are filled with so much joy that you can’t help but smile the entire day—Laura & Thomas’ wedding at Barton Hall on 13th November 2021 was exactly that! From start to finish, it was a celebration bursting with laughter, fun, and unforgettable moments.


Set in the heart of Northamptonshire, Barton Hall is a stunning wedding venue, blending historic charm with modern elegance. With its beautiful Orangery, grand interiors, and picturesque gardens, it was the perfect setting for Laura & Thomas’ big day. As a Barton Hall wedding photographer, it was a dream to capture their golden-hour portraits in the breathtaking autumn light.


The biggest surprise of the day? A singing waitress! Disguised as a staff member, she “accidentally” dropped cutlery, apologised, and then suddenly burst into song—kicking off an electrifying party! Within moments, everyone was up on their feet, singing and dancing, setting the tone for an incredible evening.


From heartfelt moments to non-stop laughter, this wedding was a true joy to photograph. Laura & Thomas, your wedding was amazing—thank you for letting me be part of it!
