Wedding Photography at Apton Hall | Sarah & Ben


Sarah & Ben planned an absolutely brilliant wedding day, and with Apton Hall being one of our favourite wedding venues in Essex, this celebration simply had to feature on the blog. Their day was a wonderful example of just how beautiful wedding photography at Apton Hall can be, from start to finish.

From the fun and relaxed bridal preparations in the morning right through to the energetic dancing later that evening, it was a joy to photograph every moment.
Apton Hall offers an enormous variety of stunning backdrops, with its sweeping lawns, charming courtyards, rustic gates and an abundance of trees and greenery –
all of which are perfect for creating beautiful, natural portraits. The mix of characterful buildings and tucked-away quiet corners makes it a dream venue for couples who want both elegance and intimacy.

Following the ceremony, the secluded walled garden gave Sarah & Ben the chance to unwind and enjoy a few peaceful moments together, resulting in some wonderfully relaxed and genuine photographs. As the day moved into evening, the courtyard came alive with soft, twinkling lights, providing the perfect setting for romantic twilight portraits – a real highlight of wedding photography at Apton Hall.

The couple also thoughtfully incorporated traditional elements to honour the groom’s Jewish heritage, adding personal and meaningful moments to their celebrations. One of the highlights was the lively Jewish dancing after the wedding breakfast – it truly brought the party to life and had everyone on their feet. The energy, joy and fun from their guests made it incredible to capture, resulting in some unforgettable images.
