Kitley House Wedding Photographer
A historic manor on a private estate by the Yealm estuary, with a lake and 600 acres. Relaxed, documentary photography, £2,000 all in.
A note on the photos: I have not photographed a wedding at Kitley House yet, so as your Kitley House wedding photographer I am showing pictures from other weddings of mine. When I photograph one here, they will be replaced.
What a Kitley House wedding photographer is working with
Kitley House is a historic manor house near Yealmpton in the South Hams, on a private estate of around 600 acres of parkland and woodland that runs down to the Yealm estuary and a lake. It is now an exclusive-use wedding venue.
Ceremonies can be inside for up to 100 guests, in the Regency Room, the Library, the Morning Room or the Banquet Hall, or outside on the Island by the lake and in the summerhouse by the fountain garden. Evening receptions take up to 150.
A lake, an old house and a quiet estate that is all yours for the day.
Photographing a Kitley House wedding
The lake is the heart of it. A lakeside ceremony on the Island gives you water and trees in every direction, and the parkland is big enough to find quiet corners for portraits without going far.
Inside, the old rooms have lovely window light for the morning and the speeches, so I work without flash until the dancing starts.

How I photograph a Kitley House wedding
Kitley is built around its lake, with ceremonies on the Island or in the summerhouse by the fountain garden. A Kitley House wedding photographer here should know how the light moves across the water through the day.
As your Kitley House wedding photographer I use the lakeside paths for portraits and the old rooms inside for the morning and the speeches, keeping walks short on a big estate.

Planning your Kitley House wedding photography
Keep twenty minutes free before sunset for a walk by the lake. If you are thinking about an outdoor ceremony, ask the venue about a wet weather option inside.

What a £2,000 Kitley House wedding photographer covers
Lakeside or indoors, the whole day for one all-in price.
Straight answers
Up to 100 for a ceremony and up to 150 for the evening reception.
Inside in the Regency Room, Library, Morning Room or Banquet Hall, or outside on the Island by the lake or in the summerhouse by the fountain garden.
It is £2,000 for the whole day, with nothing added on: no hour limits, at least 800 edited photos, a first set of 100+ the next morning, drone shots where the venue allows and an online gallery to share. UK travel is included, so there is no travel charge for Devon.
Not at all, you are in good company: most of my couples feel the same. I give a little direction when it helps and let everything else happen naturally.
