Question 1

have you photographed weddings at middleton lodge before?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I have photographed multiple weddings at Middleton Lodge, including both the Fig House and the Main House. I know the best spots for portraits, how the light moves through the venue at different times of day and how to keep things calm and relaxed while capturing all the important moments.

Question 2

where’s the best place to get ready at middleton lodge?

Accepted Answer

The cottages at Middleton Lodge are a brilliant option for morning prep — they’re spacious, full of natural light, and have that relaxed, countryside feel. Just keep in mind that most couples move rooms around 1–2 hours before the ceremony. This works perfectly for photography, giving you a fresh, uncluttered space for those final dress moments and portraits.

Photography tip: Build a little buffer into your timeline so the room change isn’t rushed. It’s a great way to get clean prep shots without bags and suitcases in the background!

Question 3

where’s the best spot for couple portraits at middleton lodge?

Accepted Answer

If you're getting married at the Fig House, the Walled Garden is one of the most beautiful outdoor spaces I’ve ever photographed and it’s stunning in every season. From hidden corners to wide paths and rustic greenhouse textures, it’s full of variety.

If you’re in the Main House, don’t forget the grand staircase and the sweeping drive, perfect for more elegant portraits.

Photography tip: Consider doing your confetti shot just before dinner — it’s a fun way to gather everyone in one place and creates beautiful, golden-toned images.

Question 4

how do we make the most of golden hour at middleton lodge?

Accepted Answer

Golden hour at Middleton Lodge is magical, especially opposite the Fig House, where rolling fields catch the soft, evening light.

Photography tip: Check sunset times for your date and build 15–20 minutes into your timeline post-ceremony or before dinner. You won’t regret it.
