When you book a joint photography and videography package with us, you aren’t just hiring two separate suppliers, you’re hiring a team that works as one. At a venue as breath taking as Hackness Grange, this synergy is what makes the difference between a good wedding record and a cinematic masterpiece.
We’ve spent years refining how we work side by side.
For you, this means a seamless experience where we never get in each other's way, matching editing styles, and a significantly simpler planning process.
Why We Love Filming & Photographing Hackness Grange
Morning Magic in the Bridal Suite
The preparation phase sets the tone for the entire film and gallery. The suites at Hackness Grange are flooded with natural light, which is a dream for both high end photography and cinematic video.
Intimate Details: We coordinate to capture the "still" moments like the dress hanging on the grand wooden staircase while simultaneously filming the movement of hair styling and the celebratory champagne toast with your bridesmaids.
The First Look: The spacious layout allows us to stay "invisible" while capturing that emotional first look with your father or the quiet reflection of a bride by the manor windows.
The Iconic Island Ceremony & Timber Bridge
Another reason why we love filming & photographing at Hackness Grange is its private island pavilion. While JPhotography captures the still, emotional portraits of you crossing the timber bridge, NL-Videography uses cinematic wide shots to document the movement and atmosphere.
Because we offer a joint package, we coordinate our angles perfectly. You won't see a bulky video tripod in the back of your favourite ceremony photo, and your film won't be interrupted by a photographer stepping into the frame. We move in sync to ensure every tear and smile is captured from both perspectives.
The Joy of the Confetti Walk
There is no moment quite like the confetti walk to signal that the party has officially started.
At Hackness Grange, the path leading from the Island Pavilion provides a stunning, natural "aisle" for your guests to line up and shower you with petals. Because we work as a joint team, we coordinate our positioning perfectly;
while JPhotography captures the frozen expressions of pure joy, NL Videography documents the movement and the cheers in slow-motion, creating a high-energy sequence for your final film.
Cinematic Grounds & Drone Mastery
With 17 acres of North Yorkshire countryside to explore, the "hero shot" opportunities are endless.
Our joint approach allows us to be efficient; while one of us is capturing intimate close-ups, the other is often launching the drone to get that high-end aerial perspective of Hackness Grange.
Working as a team means we share the same creative direction. Whether we are going for a romantic, "golden hour" vibe or a natural, documentary-style look, our final photos and films will look like they belong in the same set featuring uniform colour grading and a cohesive aesthetic.
Romantic Moments on the Tree Swing
As the day transitions into the reception, we love taking our couples for a short wander through the 17 acres of private grounds. The iconic rope swing, tucked away with a perfect view of the Grade II listed manor, is a favourite spot for those quiet, romantic "hero" shots.
Whether we are capturing a wide, cinematic angle of you looking back at the house or an intimate black and white portrait, the swing offers a sense of timelessness that fits perfectly with our natural, documentary style. It’s these unscripted, peaceful moments that often become the most cherished parts of your wedding gallery and film.
The Wedding Breakfast & Speeches
The reception room at Hackness Grange is a true centrepiece of the venue. With its soft white drapes and canopy of fairy lights, it creates a warm, airy atmosphere that looks incredible on both film and photography.
During the speeches, we work in tandem to capture every angle. While JPhotography focuses on the candid, frozen expressions of laughter and tears from your guests, NL-Videography captures the shaky breath before a joke and the sound of the room erupting in applause. This dual coverage ensures that the "vibe" of your celebration is documented exactly as it felt in the moment.
Celebrating into the Night
As the sun sets over the estate, the energy shifts to the dancefloor. This is where our joint package truly shines. We use synchronized lighting setups to ensure your evening photos and video footage are crisp, vibrant, and full of life.
From the high-energy dancefloor antics of your friends and family to the intimate "slow-dance" moments, we are there to document the party in full swing. Whether it’s a celebratory sparkler exit outside the manor or a packed dancefloor, we ensure the final chapter of your wedding story is as cinematic as the first.
The Ultimate Retreat: The Honeymoon Suite
At Hackness Grange, the experience doesn’t end when the dancing stops. One of our favourite parts of filming and photographing here is capturing the personality and luxury of the Honeymoon Suite.
From the stunning Grade II listed grand staircase that provides a perfect backdrop for bridal portraits, to the private, high-end interiors of the suite itself, every corner is designed for cinematic storytelling. Whether it’s a quiet moment for the couple to reflect on a plush leather sofa or a fun, personality-driven shot like the groom in the iconic roll-top bathtub, these rooms allow us to document the luxury of your stay.
Having everything on-site—from prep to the final stay—ensures a seamless flow for your day and a cohesive look for your final wedding film and photo gallery.
A Relaxed, Dog-Friendly Atmosphere
Hackness Grange is known for its relaxed, "all-in-one" setup, and we love that it’s dog-friendly! Having our combined team there means we can capture those quick, unscripted moments with your pets or guests without making the day feel like a production set. We prioritize your experience, ensuring you stay present in the moment while we handle the storytelling.
Watch the Magic: A Hackness Grange Highlight Film
Nothing tells the story of a wedding day quite like a cinematic highlight film. While the photos capture those frozen moments of emotion, the video brings back the laughter, the music, and the atmosphere of the 17-acre estate.
Check out this recent highlight film to see how we utilize the Island Pavilion, the grand manor house, and those romantic sunset moments to create a timeless keepsake for our couples.
