Tickton Grange Hotel Winter Wedding |Lucy & Jack
Lucy and Jack’s wedding at Tickton Grange Hotel was my second wedding of 2026 and honestly it was such a great way to start the year. Tickton Grange is always a pleasure to photograph and hosts 3 areas to get married and host your wedding! The Georgian country house sits just outside Beverley in the East Yorkshire countryside, surrounded by gardens, meadowland and quiet little corners.
Lucy looked incredible in her dress from Wed2B, which had been carefully tailored to fit perfectly by Tutti Bespoke. Her hair was styled by Jade The Hairstylist and her makeup was done by Makeup by Viv Blackledge, which gave her a really natural and elegant look.
Lucy and Jack chose my bespoke package and had a 3 hour coverage. It’s always a good reminder that you don’t necessarily need full day coverage to capture a wedding properly. For them it was about the ceremony, celebrating with family and friends and getting a few relaxed photos together afterwards.
Ceremony in the Rose Room
Lucy and Jack’s ceremony took place inside the Rose Room at Tickton Grange. It’s a really lovely space for intimate ceremonies and feels bright, elegant and welcoming at the same time.
With around seventy guests gathered together the room had a really warm atmosphere. Everyone was smiling, chatting quietly before the ceremony began and you could feel the excitement building as Lucy walked down the aisle.
One of the nice things about Tickton Grange is how the spaces change throughout the day. The Rose Room hosted the ceremony first and later it was transformed into the room for the wedding breakfast.
Confetti Outside Tickton Grange
After the ceremony we stepped outside for the confetti moment which is always one of my favourite parts of a wedding day! I’ve actually done a blog post on how to get the best confetti photos here if you want to take a look! Because it was forecast rain in 20 minutes it was a fast turn around to get the group shots outside and a quick 10 minute couple shoot as well, which honestly is all you need to capture some lovely photos of you both!
Couple Portraits Around Tickton Grange
After the group photos I took Lucy and Jack for a little wander around the grounds for their couple portraits. I’ve photographed here a handful of times over the years so know the best spots to get photos, A little walk through the gardens, past the cottages, to the Farmstead for the rustic outdoor textures and then back around to the front of the house, a quick 10 minute walk is all you need for some lush photos and to get back to your guests!
The Farmstead at Tickton Grange
One of my favourite areas at Tickton Grange is the Farmstead space behind the main house. Surrounds by fields and meadowland (Which looks amazing in summer and autumn as the fields are at max capacity (Really gives my interstellar vibes with how many crops there is!) and lots of nice textures I love to use as backdrops!
I really like the contrast compared to the Georgian house too giving lots of options depending on what vibe you want to go with for your photos!
Just Before the Rain
We managed to squeeze in Lucy and Jack’s portraits just before the weather turned. It was one of those classic UK wedding moments where you can feel the rain coming but you’re not quite sure when it will arrive.
Luckily we finished the outdoor photos just in time before the rain started and everyone moved inside for the drinks reception.
It’s something I always say about weddings in the UK. The weather doesn’t always behave exactly how you want it to, but it rarely ruins the day. You just adapt slightly and keep things moving. I’ve actually written a blog post here on what to do if it rains on your wedding day.
Details & Personal Touches
Lucy and Jack styled the tables and venue themselves which gave the space a really personal feel. The flowers were supplied by Dried Flowers UK, which looked amazing on the wedding breakfast tables in the rose room.
I love spotting all of the subtle Harry Potter references dotted around the room. It’s my favourite thing seeing my couples personality shine through with little details like that throughout their wedding day.
