Hi, I’m Aden

I already know Bunny Hill – rain or shine

If you’ve booked Bunny Hill, you’ve got great taste – and as a Bunny Hill wedding photographer who’s been there rain and shine, I’d love to be there with you. I’ve photographed weddings here on a rainy day in January and on a glorious summer’s day, so I already know the venue, the team and where the light falls best, whatever the weather does.

I’m a relaxed, natural wedding photographer with over 17 years and more than 500 weddings behind me. My job is to make you both feel at ease – so you can soak up every minute of your day while I quietly capture the real moments, the happy tears and the belly laughs, exactly as they happen.

I live just over the Humber in North Lincolnshire, so Bunny Hill is close to home and travel is always included. I photograph lots of weddings across East Yorkshire too, from The Manor Rooms in South Cave to Saltmarshe Hall near Howden – see more on my Hull wedding photographer page.

Why couples book me

What it’s like having me at your wedding

01

Like having a friend with a camera

Guests often ask if I’ve known the couple for years! I keep everything calm and easy-going, blend in, and catch the glances, hugs and happy tears as they happen – no stiff, awkward posing.

02

Couple photos in 15 minutes, not an hour

A few gently directed portraits, usually 10–20 minutes, somewhere beautiful like the woodland or the fields. Then you’re straight back with your guests, drink in hand.

03

I stay until the dance floor empties

The Big Package has no time limit. The first dance, the band, the firepit and the late-night dancing – often around half of your gallery comes from the evening.

Bunny Hill photo spots

Bunny Hill wedding photography – my favourite spots

The Garden Room windows

The most beautiful soft light for your ceremony. Hollie walking in with that huge wall of glass behind her was a proper moment.

The woodland

Festoon lights strung through the pines at golden hour – it’s where the photo at the top of this page was taken.

The fields and the lane

Big open skies, and plenty of room for confetti or smoke bombs.

The barn and the courtyard

My rain plan. Kate and Peter’s January wedding proved you don’t need sunshine for gorgeous photos.

The firepit and the dance floor

Once it gets dark, this is where the best candid photos happen.

I’ll plan all of this around your timings, so nothing ever feels rushed.

Planning your timings

Your Bunny Hill wedding day, hour by hour

01Getting ready

I’ll arrive while hair and make-up are under way – wherever you’re getting ready – for the nerves, the laughs and the little details. Natural light makes all the difference, so I’ll always find the best spot in the room.

02The ceremony

In the Garden Room the light pours straight through those floor-to-ceiling windows, so I rarely need flash. I stay quiet and out of the way, catching your faces as you see each other for the first time.

03Drinks reception

This is where the candid photos come thick and fast – guests on the lawns, in the courtyards and at the bar. Group photos are quick and organised, so nobody’s kept from the drinks for long.

04Couple photos

About 10–20 minutes, usually in the woodland or the fields. In summer the best light comes after the meal, so I may steal you for five minutes of golden hour. In winter it gets dark early, so we’ll do these straight after the ceremony.

05The evening

First dance, the band, the firepit and plenty of dancing. With The Big Package there’s no time limit, so I’ll be there until the dance floor starts to empty.

06After the wedding

A sneak-peek preview within a week, then your full gallery within four weeks – an online gallery you can share with family and guests.

And when the sun goes down

I stay for the party

Most wedding photographers leave after the first dance. I don’t. At Bunny Hill the evening is where it all happens – the band, the mezzanine bar, the firepit and dancing until late – and some of my favourite photos have been taken right here.

How much does a Bunny Hill wedding photographer cost?

My packages start at £1,650 for The Day Package, which covers bridal prep through to the first dance. The Big Package, with no time limit, is £1,900, and The Album Package, which adds a 12×12 leather-bound album and presentation box, is £2,400. Travel to Bunny Hill is always included, and a £400 deposit secures your date. You can see everything on my prices page.

Have you photographed weddings at Bunny Hill before?

Yes – in the rain and in the sunshine! Have a look at Kate and Peter’s winter wedding and Hollie and Chris’s summer barn wedding. I know the venue, the team and the best spots for photos in every season, so you can leave all of that to me and just enjoy your day.

What style of wedding photography do you offer?

Relaxed, natural and documentary. Most of your day I’ll simply capture what happens – the glances, the hugs, the tears and the laughter – without interrupting. Then I’ll add a few gently directed portraits and group photos, kept quick and painless, so you get beautiful photos of the two of you without it ever feeling like a photoshoot.

How long do you stay at a wedding?

With The Day Package I’m with you from bridal prep through to the first dance, finishing at 8pm. The Big Package and The Album Package have no time limit at all – I stay right through the evening, capturing the band, the firepit and the dancing long after most photographers have gone home. That’s why so many Bunny Hill couples choose The Big Package.

How long do the couple photos take?

Usually 10–20 minutes. I’ll take you somewhere beautiful – often the woodland or the fields around the farm – for a few relaxed portraits, then you’re straight back with your guests. In summer I may steal you for five more minutes at golden hour, because the light at Bunny Hill in the evening is something special.

What happens if it rains at Bunny Hill?

We get creative! Kate and Peter’s January wedding was a rainy one and we still came away with lovely photos. Umbrellas, the barn, the mezzanine and the covered courtyard all give us shelter, and I carry flash and backup gear for any weather. Rainy-day photos are often the most atmospheric ones in the gallery.

Do you photograph weddings outside Bunny Hill?

Yes, all over. I’m based just over the Humber in North Lincolnshire and photograph weddings all over Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and beyond, with travel included for weddings within two hours of home. Nearby, I’ve photographed at The Manor Rooms in South Cave, Saltmarshe Hall near Howden and lots of venues around Hull – see my Hull wedding photographer page.

How far in advance should we book a wedding photographer?

As soon as you have your date and venue. Popular Saturdays in summer, especially at busy venues like Bunny Hill, often get booked 12–18 months ahead,. If your date is sooner, it’s still worth asking – I’m always happy to check.

When will we get our wedding photos?

You’ll get a sneak-peek preview within a week, and your full gallery within four weeks. Everything comes in an online gallery you can download and share with your guests, with full editing and retouching included.

How do we book you as our wedding photographer?

Just send a quick message with your date and venue using the form above. I’ll let you know if I’m free – usually the same day – and then we can have a relaxed chat on the phone, over video or in person. When you’re ready, a £400 deposit secures your date and it’s officially yours.
