CANDID WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT LANWADES HALL

If you’re getting married at Lanwades Hall, you’re in for a treat. This gorgeous Edwardian manor house, nestled in the Suffolk countryside, has all the grandeur of a stately home but with the flexibility and laid-back vibe that lets you do things your way. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a big, booze-fuelled party, Lanwades Hall gives you the best of both worlds—stunning period features without the stuffy formalities.

And if you’re after relaxed, natural wedding photography, the good news is this place is an absolute dream to photograph. No forced poses, no awkward staging—just you, your guests, and all the brilliant chaos that makes your day yours.

Why Lanwades Hall is Perfect for Relaxed Weddings

 No corkage = more wine, more fun! 🍷 Bring your own drinks and save your budget for the important things (like that extra round of espresso martinis).
Exclusive-use venue = No strangers wandering through your wedding photos. It’s all yours.
That iconic grand entrance—arrive in style through the impressive gates and tree-lined driveway. Instant main-character energy.
Flexible spaces—from a stunning ceremony in the Great Hall to a relaxed garden reception with a marquee, you can make it completely your own.
Rolling countryside views—a perfect backdrop for those gorgeous, natural couple portraits (the quick, painless kind, I promise).

Candid, Documentary Wedding Photography at Lanwades Hall

Lanwades Hall is made for documentary-style wedding photography—the kind where you get to enjoy your day without endless interruptions for staged shots. Instead of spending hours posing, you’ll get a gallery packed with the real stuff—your guests cracking up at speeches, your mates on the dance floor throwing questionable shapes, and those little moments you didn’t even know happened.

If you’re the kind of couple who’d rather have a hilarious, emotional, and real wedding album instead of 200 variations of “stand there and smile,” then we’ll probably get along brilliantly.

KIND WORDS

“We simply cannot recommend Erica enough. Right from the start Erica’s talent, creativity and friendliness shone through. We initially met to chat about what we wanted for the day, our pre shoot was so much fun as well. We’re both pretty introverted and we’re a bit nervous but Erica immediately put us at ease and we had a great laugh and a fab evening with some beautiful photos at the end of the session which are so natural!

On the day itself Erica was simply amazing. She immediately fitted into the party, wasn’t at all intrusive but gave enough direction to achieve what we had spoken about. It was genuinely a pleasure to have her as part of the day. The outcome… wow! Erica’s photos are simply incredible. My husband and I burst into tears when we received them through, so many incredible shots with an amazing mix of the group shots we asked for but by far our favourite shots are the ones of our friends and family just being them! There are some amazing natural moments captured that go above and beyond what you’d expect of classic wedding photos. Erica’s ability to capture these moments with a group of people she’s just met is remarkable.”
