Jackie & Ray’s Manor House Hotel Wedding, West Auckland

Jackie and Ray’s wedding at the Manor House Hotel, West Auckland was a wonderful day to photograph from start to finish. As a North East wedding photographer, the Manor House is always a joy to return to — a charming venue with classic character, elegant spaces, and beautifully kept grounds that make for the perfect backdrop.

Their day was full of genuine emotion, laughter, and little touches that reflected their personalities perfectly. From morning preparations through to the evening celebrations, every moment felt relaxed and full of joy.

We made the most of the lovely outdoor areas around the Manor House Hotel for Jackie and Ray’s photos, capturing those natural, in-between moments that really tell the story of their day. The mix of old architecture and soft evening light made it a great setting for their portraits.

Their gallery is a great reminder of how special weddings at the Manor House Hotel, West Auckland can be — relaxed, full of warmth, and a real celebration in the heart of County Durham.
