Sandal Wedding Photographer
Wedding photography for couples in Sandal and the south side of Wakefield, from a local photographer who knows the area inside out.
The south side of the city
Sandal is one of Wakefield’s best-loved suburbs, with leafy streets, good schools and a lot of couples who grew up there and want to marry close to home. It also has two things a wedding photographer loves: history and green space.
Sandal Castle
The ruins of Sandal Castle sit on a mound above the Calder valley, close to where the Battle of Wakefield was fought in 1460. On a clear evening the views stretch for miles, and the old stonework makes a dramatic backdrop for a short portrait session. Pugneys Country Park is just below, with its lake and open paths, if you’d like something softer.
Venues nearby
The Holmfield Arms on Lowe Hill is a short drive away, a handsome stone lodge in open parkland that hosts just one wedding a day. I photographed Jaysie and Michael’s wedding there, and Tom and Mary held their reception there after a ceremony at Wakefield Town Hall.
What’s included
A planning chat, a venue visit the week before, natural coverage on the day, and every image delivered in three styles. See packages and prices, my main Wakefield wedding photographer page, or affordable wedding photography from £500.
