Weston Hall Wedding Photography
Grade II Listed Staffordshire Countryside Wedding Venue
There’s something special about a wedding venue which is not just a wedding venue but a building steeped in history. Weston Hall was not designed for weddings but with that, it carries a unique experience for all of those who choose to get married beneath it’s Elizabethan exterior.
Planning your special day at Weston Hall?
Weston Hall is such a beautiful place which I have photographed so many times. I love returning time and time again so why not drop me message and find out a little more?
Behind the Scenes at Weston Hall
Through the magic of a 360 camera, I’m able to capture behind-the-scenes content on my wedding days to show my current and future couples exactly what it would like for them to have me along at their Weston Hall wedding day
All of these videos and more are captured in the most subtle way making sure to not disrupt the wedding day at all. I feel the connection between a couple and their photographer is a really important factor hence why I wanted to show this part of my work as well. I’m not like every wedding photographer and showing you these behind-the-scenes videos from Weston Hall hopefully helps me to reinforce that statement.

If you are still looking at wedding photographers’ websites and have come to Adam’s website, look no further, you’ve found your photographer!
From our initial meeting with Adam right the way through to our wedding he was approachable, helpful and always happy to offer advice when we weren’t sure about things.We initially met over Zoom and after spending 2 hours chatting we knew he was the best person for the job. Closer to the wedding he came over to our house and we discussed the photos we wanted and the logistics of the day
We couldn’t be more pleased with our photographs, they completely encapsulated the joy of the day.

The History of Weston Hall
Located on Weston Bank just down the road from Stafford, Stone and the heart of the Potteries, Stoke-on-Trent, Weston Hall is well placed for great travel links but also makes you feel you’re all alone as you sit surrounded by aches of stunning Staffordshire countryside. This means you can have a secluded countryside Manor House wedding whilst also not being too far from civilisation.
With Weston Hall registered as a Grade II listed building you can’t help but feel surrounded by history as you grace the large stone steps to the entrance. Often a wedding venue being listed encourages the owners to keep it in its original character which would produce lovely traditional vibes. Weston Hall mixes the best of both worlds with a beautiful Elizabethan exterior and a more elegant modern decor inside. Retaining many original features inside alongside the elegant modern decor it keeps those lofty feelings of grandeur whilst being approachable for even the most modern of brides and/or grooms.
The four high-pitched roofs make this venue a real landmark to the local surroundings and you won’t fail to be surprised when you drive up Weston Bank and see it sitting majestically. Constantly being renovated and kept to a high standard the grounds and exterior/interior of Weston Hall never fail to impress me.
Weston Hall Weddings
Every time I get asked to be a Weston Hall wedding photographer I rejoice. I’ve photographed at this wedding venue countless times over the years and have always had amazing days here. Often followed on from a traditional church service guests arrive to a drinks reception either hosted up in The Shrewsbury Suite or out on The Terrace taking in the breathtaking Staffordshire Scenery.
Shortly after the drinks reception guests are invited into The Westminster Suite to dine in style below many a gorgeous chandelier. Moving on into the evening minimal disruption is needed to convert the venue into a happening dance floor and party atmosphere. With The Westminster Suite broken up into several internal rooms you can either dance the night away, chat with old friends or spend time with your more delicate wedding guests in the bars comfy seating area.
From Spring 2020 you’ll also be able to say your vows and exchange your rings on The Terrace in their new outdoor wedding ceremony area. Should the weather turn at last minute then the venue staff can change your wedding service location within minutes to host it within The Conservatory or The Shrewsbury Suite. Another way the team at Weston Hall try and do everything within their power to ensure you have a magical day.
There’s no perfect time of year to get married at Weston Hall. It’s a rare wedding venue which offers a great wedding day no matter what time of year it is. I’ve photographed weddings at Weston Hall in the pouring Winter rain and the glistening Summer sun. I never fail to get unique and beautiful wedding photographs for my couples.
Weston Hall is also one of few local venues to offer stunning onsite accommodation for you and your wedding guests. With 8 bedrooms and a honeymoon suite all located on the top floor alls you have to do is climb a few stairs to unwind on your wedding evening. Upon awakening amongst the calming sounds of the countryside you can head down to The Cellar for breakfast. Should you have more guests though there is always great nearby accommodation at The Dog and Doublet.

Photographing weddings at Weston Hall is always a super stress-free experience. There’s definitely such a thing as too much indoor and outdoor space when it comes to a wedding venue. Acres upon acres of outdoor space may seem incredible and you may plan loads of awesome photographs but just navigating this space on your wedding day can take up valuable time which takes you away from your guests on the best day of your lives.
Weston Hall has a modest outdoor space which you can saunter around within a few minutes whilst using several different and unique backdrops for your wedding portraits. The indoor space also offers a great not too big socialising space and with it split into two floors you can really take advantage of the extra space should you need to plan your family portraits and group photographs indoors.
Weston Hall’s elegant modern decor presents so many non-distracting backdrops for natural moments throughout the day. Mixed with interesting lighting and a lot of glass and mirrored surfaces I can’t cease to be in my creative element when creating timeless memories for your wedding day.
The Westminster Suite features gorgeous chandeliers on a dimmer set which can change the ambience of the room in a heartbeat transforming a brightly lit wedding breakfast where your guests can see their beautiful meals and talk to each other into an “candle-lit” laid-back vibe for the speeches to unfold within. I love taking pictures in The Westminster Suite for this very reason. Pre-Meal candids and the arrival of the bride and groom look incredibly different to that of the speeches and the evening reception. Almost making it look like there is more than one room for the day and the reception.
Meet Adam Lowndes
A Weston Hall Wedding photographer
No matter your race, colour, creed, or sexuality, you are everything to me. I wouldn’t live this incredible photography dream job without you. I can’t help but be your absolute wedding hero.
My couples are usually super down to earth and are planning a relaxed fun wedding day surrounded by all those people they love. I love a party! So when it comes to weddings I can’t help but get wrapped up in the magic of your day. Getting so stuck in with your wedding allows me to translate so much more feeling into my photographs. At some point, you’ll want a few awesome photographs of the two of you. These photographs will take minutes and not hours so we can get straight back to the party. Oh and those family formal portraits, don’t worry about them, they’ll be zero hassle.
With my super extraverted personality I’ll be one of the most excited guests from the moment I arrive. It won’t take your wedding party long to assume we are lifelong friends.
