Shottle Hall in Derbyshire is an absolute treat to film as a wedding videographer. Nestled among the rolling hills of the Peak District, this venue exudes elegance and English country charm that can turn any wedding into a classy and timeless affair.
What makes Shottle Hall stand out, aside from its breathtaking location, is the blend of grandeur and intimacy it offers. The hall itself is a beautifully maintained Victorian manor house with stunning architectural details. Imagine sweeping staircases perfect for those dramatic bridal entrance shots, ornate ceilings that add a sense of grandiosity to every frame, and beautifully decorated rooms that provide a rich, historical backdrop for both the ceremony and reception.
The grounds of Shottle Hall are just as photogenic. The estate spans acres of meticulously landscaped gardens and woodlands, providing endless opportunities for romantic couple shots. The garden pavilion, often used for ceremonies, allows you to capture those beautiful moments set against a backdrop of lush greenery and the English countryside. It’s the kind of setting where you can catch the light just right during the golden hour, making every shot look like it’s from a bridal magazine.
Then there’s the Coach House Marquee, a more contemporary space within the estate, offering a clear, bright setting that’s perfect for larger receptions. It lets in an abundance of natural light, which is a videographer’s dream for capturing lively dance scenes and heartfelt toasts. The contrast between the historic manor and the modern marquee adds a dynamic element to the wedding film, showcasing the versatility of the venue.
Every time I film at Shottle Hall, I find new angles and perspectives that bring out the unique charm of the venue and the personalities of the couple. It’s a place where history meets modern luxury, creating a wonderfully balanced backdrop that enhances the beauty and emotion of any wedding day. Plus, who doesn’t love filming in the heart of the Peak District with its awe-inspiring views and serene atmosphere? It’s a videographer’s playground and a couple’s dream venue rolled into one.
"We don’t even know where to start! Hiring Chris to shoot our wedding video was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. From the first meeting we had to discuss his style and approach, we knew we were on to the right person. Chris’ attention to detail is parallel to none."
"We weren’t originally going to get a videographer but it was worth every penny. The whole day is so much to process that you forget bits after. Having this video to treasure forever was the perfect way to cure the wedding blues."
"Before meeting Chris, we weren’t sure how to appear on film. After working with him, we felt completely comfortable, and he captured every organic moment we wanted."
