Saltmarshe Hallย really is one of my favourite wedding venues in all of East Yorkshire and it’s easy to see why!
It’s perfectly located in the isolated village of Saltmarshe (surrounded by tonnes of ‘watch out for hedgehogs’ signs!) not far from Howden and Goole, on the north bank of the River Ouse.

There are various beautiful places to get ready in the morning, from the Appletree cottages a short walk away, the smartly finished Saltmarshe Stables or up the grand staircase in the grade II* listed 19th-century country house.

Weddings at Saltmarshe Hallย strike that perfect blend of being exclusive, grand and high quality luxury accommodation, but while being relaxed and fun.

While all reception rooms inside the Hall are licensed for weddings, Saltmarshe Hall have found an option for outdoor ‘Sapphire ceremonies’? With 17 acres of beautiful grounds it makes sense to celebrate under the woodland canopy!

I always try to capture a relaxed story of the day, and it’s not hard in a venue that’s so stunning inside and out!

All the rooms are licensed for ceremonies at Saltmarshe Hall – so there’s room (literally a room) for every occasion!

Ceremonies at Saltmarshe are conducted by the East Riding registration service, who can be a little strict on the photography during the service, but at the outdoor ceremonies they do relax the rules a little!

There’s nothing like a big confetti moment after the ceremony!

Having two photographers in most of my photography collections helps me capture two angles on this lovely moment!

Once I’ve quickly shot a set of relaxed family and wedding party group shots, I try to take my couples on a short lap around the lush 7-hectare estate, for some chilled out portraits.

Then it’s back to the party to enjoy the fun and games (and fizz!) at the wedding reception.

The wedding breakfast is generally in the bright white room of the hall, and the team thereย have a great ethos to listen to what couples want; not enforcing off-the-shelf packages, thereby letting couple’s creative input shine through.

One ceremony I shot there chose to host their meal and evening reception in a Papakata Sperry tipi Tent, which looked quite the part on the Saltmarshe Lawn!

While some of my packages end when the meal is served, I’m often booked to stay on to photograph the evening reception, covering speeches, evening sunset portraits, the first dance and evening knees up!

I’ve found the sunsets to be impressively dramatic at Saltmarshe Hall!

Once the band gets underway, and ties start going round heads, we usually bid our happy couples farewell and leave the party to rock on!

It’s so important to me that my couples have a fab experience with me, and these reviews from real couples on Google and Facebook are great to read, straight from the horseโs mouth:

Barnaby did the photos for our daughter's wedding on Saturday. By Monday evening, he had produced a fabulous slideshow and blog. There were so many beautiful shots! It is such a gorgeous summary of the day. He also did all this with a very pleasant manner. We are looking forward to the final album!Posted on Google![]()

Barnaby photographed our wedding in August this year. He was incredible from start to finish. At our pre-wedding shoot he was great at getting us to feel comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy task), and we left the pre-shoot feeling confident about the running of the day and that Barnaby had a good understanding of the moments we were hoping to capture. On the day itself Barnaby was a huge help in getting things to run smoothly, making sure we had the right people in the right place to get the shots that we wanted. He was great with our children and got some fantastic shots of the kids having fun, in addition to some beautiful family shots and candid moments throughout the day. We are thrilled with the photos that we have got back, and the turnaround time was quicker than expected which was an added bonus. We canโt recommend Barnaby Aldrick Photography enough - worth every penny. Thank you so much for capturing our special day!Posted on Google![]()

We cannot recommend Barnaby enough, we thought that the pre wedding photo shoot was great but the photos we've had back on the wedding blog have not only captured every detail of our day but the whole vibe and emotions. We cannot believe how we never even saw you taking most of these. There are so many wonderful natural shots. As a couple who don't normally like to be photographed you put us at ease and captured us having a brilliant day, as well as getting all the formal shots we asked for. With photos ready for us to show friends and family within a few days.Posted on Google![]()

5 stars simply isnโt enough! โญ๏ธ From start to finish, the whole process with Barnaby was completely seamless. Our pre-wedding shoot was such a lovely experience and really helped put us at ease in front of the camera. Barnaby was so welcoming and accommodating, even when it came to our beloved spaniel joining us for the photos! ๐ถ On the wedding day itself, Barnaby was incredible. He captured every moment so perfectly โ from the big, emotional moments to all the little details and candid memories that weโll treasure forever. He made everything feel so natural and effortless, and we barely noticed the camera was there. We were also blown away by how quickly we received our teaser photos. Being able to relive some of the day so soon afterwards was absolutely amazing. We genuinely couldnโt recommend Barnaby enough. If youโre looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, friendly and makes you feel completely at ease, look no further. Weโre so grateful to have had him capture our special day! โค๏ธPosted on Google![]()

My daughter chose Barnaby as he came highly recommended and we were definitely not disappointed. He was everywhere!! He took so many photos, especially of things we would never have thought of and put them together in a digital album, that was fantastic. He put my daughter and everyone else at ease, we didnโt know he was there half the time. The photos were beyond our expectations. They initially did a pre wedding photo shoot and they knew from there that they had chosen the right guy for the job!! I cannot recommend him highly enough.Posted on Facebook![]()

Barnaby captured our recent wedding perfectly and we would 100% recommend him to any couples looking for a wedding photographer. Throughout the whole process Barnaby was professional but also fun and made us feel at ease. Barnaby took the time before our wedding to get to know us and to understand the finer details of the day to ensure that nothing was missed. He was great with our guests and captured all the best moments!Posted on Facebook![]()

Barnaby shot our wedding 9 years ago now but I can honestly recommend him with no hesitation. Not only is he professional, he is one of the friendliest people you could ever meet. His photos are stunning and were everything I wanted. I would give him a million stars - highly recommend.Posted on Facebook![]()

Absolutely fantastic through the whole event, from pre wedding photos to help us get used to the camera to final big day shots! Completely invisible on the day. Incredible final photos. Wonderful to have someone like this to record and capture all the moments. Would absolutely recommend!Posted on Facebook![]()

โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ 'Beautiful photos' 'Omg they are amazing ๐คฉ heโs brilliant' 'These are absolutely beautiful' Just some of the compliments we've had about our wedding pictures. Barnaby really put us at ease from the outset and made it easy to select him as our photographer. On the big day he got the best out of all our guests, even getting multiple smiles from the groom (quite the feat, they are hard to come by!) and capturing a life sized teddy bear on the dancefloor! Thank you Barnaby! 100% recommendPosted on Facebook![]()

Barnaby is a fantastic photographer and a true gentleman! He took time to get to know us before our big day, arranged a pre-wedding shoot to get us used to posing and made sure to capture all the best parts of our wedding on the day. Barnaby was kind, patient, has a brilliant sense of humour and even the dark rain clouds couldn't stop him from getting the best photos of our day! Thanks for capturing our day! J&J
