Woodhall Manor, Suffolk Wedding Photography
As Essex and Suffolk wedding photographers, we absolutely love capturing weddings at Woodhall Manor. Nestled in Suffolk near Woodbridge, this romantic, privately owned Elizabethan manor offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with sweeping views of manicured gardens and ivy-clad stone walls that create an enchanting atmosphere for any wedding day. The setting is idyllic for couples looking for an exclusive venue with both grandeur and intimacy.
We began the day photographing the bridal preparations in one of Woodhall Manor’s elegant suites. The soft natural light and vintage interiors provided a stunning backdrop for those emotional and candid getting-ready moments. Then, we documented the groom and his party enjoying the morning in the groom’s quarters - a great benefit of this all-in-one venue. As the ceremony approached, the anticipation built, and we captured every detail, from the floral arrangements to the handcrafted stationery, all reflecting the couple’s unique style.
The ceremony itself took place in the manor’s grounds, a hidden gem within the gardens. It was a heartfelt exchange of vows surrounded by nature and soft summer light. As experienced Suffolk wedding photographers, we know how to position ourselves discreetly to document every emotion without intrusion. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks on the lawn while we guided the couple through a relaxed portrait session around the grounds, making the most of the manor’s hidden pathways, ancient trees, and tranquil water features and battling some showers at times!
Throughout the afternoon and despite some rain, we were greeted with golden light pouring in through the windows and laughter filling the space. We love how Woodhall Manor weddings offer such versatility for storytelling - from intimate garden ceremonies to lively evening celebrations under chandeliers. As the evening progressed, we captured heartfelt speeches, a romantic first dance, and guests dancing into the night; all moments that make each wedding here so memorable.
