Highlights from Mairead & James’ Summer Wedding at Rivington Hall Barn

Summer Wedding at Rivington Hall Barn

Mairead & James booked me for their summer wedding at Rivington Hall Barn after meeting up at a wedding fair at the venue, organised by Little White Books. One quick Zoom meeting a few weeks later and we were all booked in, raring to go with their Rivington Hall Barn summer wedding, with me looking forward to being their Rivington Hall Barn wedding photographer. I love working at Rivington Hall Barn as the interior of the main barn is a constant, no matter what the season or weather is doing outside. Photographing a summer wedding at Rivington Hall Barn gives a brilliant contrast of summer sunlight, coupled with the low-light atmosphere of the barn itself. This was going to be a brilliant summer wedding at Rivington Hall Barn!

Classic Church Wedding

Mairead and James were to have a classic church wedding before going to Rivington Hall Barn for their wedding reception. Coming from an Irish family, this was always going to be the case! Mairead & James were married at Our Lady of Assumption in Middleton, on a blisteringly hot day too. Mairead and her brother arrived in style for the church wedding, though being over six feet tall, struggled to get out of the wedding car! A great start to the proceedings. After the ceremony, it was time for a classic confetti run too, with some family group photos taken, mostly while I balance precariously on a wall - much to everyone’s entertainment! Oh, the things us wedding photographers do for our clients!

Rivington Hall Barn Wedding Photographer

This wedding was to be one of several I have photographed as a Rivington Hall Barn wedding photographer. You can see my main venues page here, with some real weddings at the bottom of the page. Rivington Hall Barn is a unique wedding venue, with a mix of stunning outdoor areas for options for some stunning wedding images as a Rivington Hall Barn wedding photographer. Since the day was simply gorgeous (and hot!), we opted to spend a few minutes’ taking some photos when we arrived, then a few after the speeches had finished in the late afternoon sunshine. Being a Rivington Hall Barn wedding photographer working this way, gave me options to capture some natural candid photos of the wedding guests before we went into the barn for the wedding breakfast and speeches.

Here’s some of my favourite photos from the day…
