Moat House Wedding

An Intimate Family Wedding at The Moat House, Acton Trussell

Dan & Michelle asked me to be their Moat House wedding photographer for their beautiful intimate wedding. They wanted a small wedding, with just their families around them, which I absolutely love! It makes for a completely different vibe to weddings with 100 guests, and can be great if you want a quieter wedding day. It can have a more relaxed feel, so that you can spend some quality time with the people that mean the most to you. And this pair definitely had some quality time with their families.

The Moat House in Acton Trussell, is a unique wedding venue in Staffordshire. Dating back to the 15th century, this former manor house is surrounded by the moat on 3 sides, and the canal runs past the rear of the building. I don’t know if it’s a life spent living mostly in the Midlands, but I love being by the water, so this gives it bonus points in my book!
