New name. Familiar landscape.

I already know these grounds

Before the property became The River Manor, I photographed Joanne and Ian’s wedding here under its previous name, Wyreside Hall.

The new venue will bring a completely different look and experience, but the riverside landscape, mature trees and countryside setting are already familiar territory. That means I know how well the grounds can work without pretending I have photographed a finished venue that has not opened yet.

Weddings from 2028

A new chapter for the Wyreside Estate

The River Manor is being created as a new wedding destination rooted in the existing Dolphinholme estate. Its plans combine riverside surroundings with new spaces designed specifically for modern weddings.

The setting

River, woodland, meadow and established gardens around the Lancashire property.

The new venue

A botanical Green Orangery and riverside ceremony setting form part of the plans.

The full stay

On-site cottages, a preparation space and honeymoon suite are planned for couples and guests.

The landscape in a different chapter

These outdoor photographs were made at the property when it operated as Wyreside Hall. They show the existing house, grounds and evening light—not the venue’s planned new interiors or finished River Manor experience.

My approach

Your wedding still comes first

A new venue is exciting, but your wedding should never feel like a styled shoot created to advertise it. My approach stays relaxed and documentary-led: real people, real reactions and enough straightforward direction to make the most of the landscape.

You enjoy the day. I will capture the setting without losing sight of why everyone is there.

The River Manor photography FAQs

Have you photographed at The River Manor?

I photographed a wedding at the same property when it operated as Wyreside Hall. The River Manor is a new venue and I will not claim to have photographed its completed spaces before it opens.

When is The River Manor opening for weddings?

The venue currently advertises weddings from 2028. Confirm the latest availability directly with The River Manor before securing suppliers.

How does the surprise discount work?

The first couple to confirm me for their River Manor wedding with a signed agreement and booking payment receives a special discount on their chosen full-day photography package. It is subject to my availability and cannot be combined with another offer.

What is your photography style?

Natural and documentary-led, with simple direction when it helps. I make the most of the surroundings without taking you away from guests for hours.
