The Coach House: Rustic Elegance
As a wedding photographer, the coach house at Delbury Hall offers me some of the most breathtaking backgrounds for ceremonies and receptions.

The exposed beams, natural stone walls, and elegant lighting in this barn wedding venue create a warm, inviting atmosphere that enhances every photograph I take.
What makes this space particularly special for wedding photography is the impressive bi-fold doors that flood the interior with natural light and offer seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. I often recommend a neutral colour palette for decorations in this space, as it complements the natural textures and allows your style to shine through in photographs.
This beautifully converted space provides an exceptional dining experience, allowing me to capture formal and candid moments as breakfast guests enjoy their meal and speeches.
