Getting Married at Le Petit Château in Northumberland

Le Petit Château, nestled in the heart of Otterburn, Northumberland, is an exclusive-use wedding venue that radiates charm, elegance, and a touch of French-inspired magic. Just an hour’s drive from Newcastle, this unique spot feels like a world away, making it the perfect place to escape and celebrate your special day. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like royalty, surrounded by stunning gardens, beautifully designed interiors, and that unmistakable vibe that makes Le Petit Château so special.

The Gardens of Le Petit Château

The gardens at Le Petit Château are something else. With lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and even palm trees swaying in the Northumberland breeze, the outdoor space here is perfect for everything from pre-ceremony drinks to capturing those unforgettable wedding photos. Right next to the French-style chapel and the ballroom with its impressive wall of glass, these gardens are an idyllic setting. If you’re up for a bit of a stroll, head down to the rear meadow, where you’ll find a serene little river – perfect for stealing away for a quiet moment with your new spouse or grabbing some beautiful, candid photos of the day.

The Belle Époque Ceremony Room

Inside, you’ll find the jaw-dropping Belle Époque ceremony room. With its high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and stunning marble fireplace, it’s the perfect spot for exchanging vows. And let’s be real – that famous pink wall outside is going to be a must for a few gorgeous, iconic wedding shots. It’s all about combining the romance of the room with that cheeky pop of colour that makes Le Petit Château weddings so distinct.

Le Petit Château Wedding Photography

When it comes to Le Petit Château wedding photography, you’re spoilt for choice. Whether it’s capturing the grandeur of the Belle Époque room, the relaxed moments in the gardens, or the energy of the party in the ballroom, there’s no shortage of stunning backdrops. My approach to your big day is simple – no posing, no staging, and definitely no shot lists. It’s all about capturing the real moments, the real emotions, and the real fun. Every wedding at Le Petit Château is unique, and your wedding photos will be too.

I’m not about turning your day into a photoshoot; it’s your wedding, and it should be enjoyed without the fuss. We’ll capture everything naturally, from the excitement before the ceremony to the wild dancing later on. Like when I photographed [personal couple’s story] – their day was so full of laughter and laid-back charm, and the venue’s rustic beauty shone through every shot. It’s the kind of vibe that makes being a Le Petit Château wedding photographer an absolute dream.

The Unique Ballroom at Le Petit Château

When it’s time to move indoors for your reception, the ballroom at Le Petit Château is something special. There’s a rustic charm here that feels warm and welcoming – a perfect contrast to the elegant Belle Époque room. Now, if I’m being honest, bare wood tables are where it’s at. Forget those white tablecloths – leaving the natural wood exposed lets the beauty of the room speak for itself, and it looks miles better in photos, too. It’s a simple touch, but it transforms the space into something even more unique and stylish.

As an award-winning photographer with over 150 accolades and having shot 250+ weddings, documenting your day at Le Petit Château would be an absolute honour. My relaxed and authentic style focuses on those in-between moments, the real emotions, and the laughter – allowing you to enjoy your day without feeling like you’re constantly in front of the camera.
