Great Gatsby themed wedding at Dalton Old Pump House

Wow. My first time at the wonderful Dalton Old Pump house. What a venue and Amy and Shaun’s Great Gatsby themed wedding really felt at home. The perfect venue for thats 1920’s theme. I was privileged to document Amy and Shaun’s day, always super lovely when a fellow photographer (Amy) ask’s you to photograph her special day. Amy is a wonderful family photographer so if you’re looking for some family work please click on her website link above.

“Designed by the renowned engineer Thomas Hawksley between 1873-1879, Dalton Old Pump House is a stunning and imposing Grade II listed building. A water pumping station in her previous life, Dalton Old Pump House has pretty much stood empty and derelict since WWII until her careful restoration which started in 2020. There are many wedding venues in England, but nowhere quite like this. She is unique and stands as a reminder of times gone by where attention to detail and a passion for excellence were more prevalent.” – Dalton Old Pump House Website

To Amy and Shaun, thank you from the bottom of my heart for having me along on your journey. The entire day was amazing and the entire wedding being Black Tie looked incredible. I wish you all the best for the future and will no doubt see you around the doors.

“If you’re looking for a wedding photographer you really don’t need to look any further than Ray. As a photographer myself when speaking to my own clients about my upcoming wedding, the first thing they would say would always be “I bet it’s going to be difficult to find a photographer” and in all honestly it wasn’t.

I’ve been a huge fan of Ray’s work for years and knew exactly who I’d be choosing to capture our big day. On the day itself Ray felt more like a guest than a photographer, and the beautiful photos speak for themselves. The day went so quickly, and we could barely remember certain parts, but when we received the photos we were blown away as Ray captured every moment and detail, and we got to relive it all over again. Thanks Ray for doing such a fantastic job!”
