Capturing your Walcot Hall Wedding

Your style, your people, your day. Just as it is.

WALCOT HALL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

…because some venues are made for a party, and Walcot Hall is THE best party venue in Shropshire.

I’m going to stick my neck out here and say that Walcot Hall is THE best party venue. There’s something about being in the Shropshire hills, with everyone staying on site in the cutest accommodation, that gives it an almost camp-like feel. Nobody’s watching the clock, nobody’s booking taxis, and the wedding fun lasts for days.

If that sounds like your kind of wedding, here’s how I photograph it without turning your party into a photoshoot:


01. LETTING IT UNFOLD

Walcot weddings are loud, colourful and a little bit chaotic (in the best way). My job is to stay out of the way and catch it all as it happens: the nervous giggles, the friend who’s been crying since breakfast, all of the Elvises on the dancefloor.

02.THE PREP WORK

Before the big day, we’ll have a proper chat about your plans, your people and what matters most to you. I gather all the logistics upfront, so by the time you arrive at Walcot, the “work” is done and you can just enjoy it.

03. PORTRAITS FOR CAMERA SHY COUPLES

If having your photo taken makes you want to hide behind the cake, you’re my kind of couple. We’ll sneak off for ten minutes, have a wander and a chat, and you’ll be back with a drink in your hand before anyone notices you’ve gone. No awkward poses, I promise.

THE STORY OF YOUR DAY, JUST AS IT IS

Walcot is all about having the best time with your favourite people. You deserve photos that show exactly that: the dancing, the hugs, the happy tears, and the moments you didn’t even know were happening. No fuss, no performance, just your wedding, as it really was.

Reasons to have your wedding at Walcot Hall

All the reasons…

Everyone stays over

There’s room for up to 110 guests on site, in cottages, apartments and glamping (including the off-grid “Hidden Treasures”). Nobody has to leave early, and the morning-after breakfast is half the fun. The Powis Arms pub sits right at the end of the drive too, for welcome drinks the night before.


It’s not just one day


It’s dog friendly

THAT Ballroom

The jaw dropping turquoise Ballroom seats 120 for dinner, then flips round for the evening party with up to 200 guests

Oodles of character

Rebuilt in 1764 for Clive of India, and his son added the Ballroom and the arboretum. It’s been in the Parish family since 1957, and they restored the Ballroom in the 80s. It’s brimming with the charm and character only acquired through decades of curation.

How much does it cost to get married at WALCOT HALL?

Weekend wedding hire starts from £8,250 for 2027. Midweek weddings start from £5,500.”

Got some questions?

This is totally up to you. I charge £250 per hour so you can decide exactly how many hours of coverage you would like.

Most of my couples feel this way! Because Walcot Hall is so private, you won’t have any onlookers. We’ll just take a short, quiet wander around the house or grounds—and I’ll give you simple direction so you aren’t left wondering what to do with your hands. It’s more of a stroll than a “shoot,” and we’ll have you back to the party in 15 minutes.

I know Walcot Hall well, but I also treat every wedding as a fresh story. I’m always looking to capture the light and feel of your day.

  • “Charlotte was the most incredible photographer we could have wished for on our special day…
    From the first interaction we felt very comfortable and confident that she completely understood what we wanted.

    On the day she made both of us feel relaxed, supported and made everything seamless for us.

    I cannot recommend using Indie Love highly enough, fantastic from start to finish.

    Thank you Charlotte!”

  • “We hired Charlotte for our wedding photography and she was just fabulous…
    Not only are the pictures amazing, but all the guests we have spoken to have said how lovely she was during the day.

    Charlotte has an awesome style and made myself and my husband feel so at ease during the entire day – neither of us are very keen on pictures but even during the ‘formal’ photos we felt so relaxed!

    A huge thank you to Charlotte for our stunning photos – we are absolutely thrilled with them and can’t believe how lovely they all are! I can’t stop looking at them!

    Thank you so much again, we are so grateful”
