New Wedding Venue, The Hidden Oak
Hidden Oak
The Hidden Oak is just outside of Stockton and only a 5-minute drive from my front door and I can't believe this amazing venue is so close and it is hidden!
The Hidden Oak has only been a wedding venue a little over a year and I was so excited to have been booked here this year and I had the best day, it helps that it has been well planned and thought out and ran well a family business where the owner the dad lets his 2 sons to run this amazing wedding venue.
As a photographer from the UK, I’ve been lucky enough to visit some truly stunning wedding venues, but few have left an impression as profound as The Hidden Oak. Tucked away in a corner of the countryside, this venue is the perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary elegance. It’s a venue that tells a story—of tradition, nature, and love. I could tell as soon as I stepped foot on the grounds that I was about to witness something extraordinary.
My First Impressions
Driving up the winding road, surrounded by towering trees on a cloudy day but hey this is England but that didn’t stop me having a smile on my face.
The Hidden Oak isn't just a venue it’s like an escape, a place where time seems to slow down. As a photographer, this is a dream venue, with so many ideas to take couples to have their alone time, with me in the background photographing them being them! Natural light filters through the branches, casting the entire landscape in a magical glow.
A Photographer’s Playground
From the moment I began scouting The Hidden Oak, it was clear how versatile it was going to be. The combination of open fields, woodland paths, and endless backdrops of the stunning countryside for those candid moments I love to capture. Whether it’s golden hour or a misty morning, the landscape offers unique textures and moods that work beautifully.
The natural lighting is truly something, I loved it although it was cloudy when I arrived it didn't stay like that we had amazing sun too!
The Hidden Oak Experience
Beyond the aesthetics, The Hidden Oak delivers on every front. The staff were amazing they are warm, welcoming, and passionate about making each couple’s day as special as possible. Their attention to detail was on point, and as a photographer, it makes my job so much easier when the logistics are seamless. They understand that this isn’t just a wedding; it’s a lifelong memory in the making, and they work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly, I loved working with them and can't wait to be back knowing this.
As a venue, it’s ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations. The flexibility means that every couple can create a day that’s truly their own, whether that’s an outdoor celebration under the stars or a cosy reception inside the barn. From a photography perspective, it means I can tailor my approach to suit the mood, whether it’s capturing the grandeur of the ceremony or the quieter, more intimate moments between the couple and their guests.
As someone who has photographed weddings across the North East of England stretching from Northumberland, The Lake District, to North Yorkshire and further. I can say without hesitation that The Hidden Oak is one of my favourite venues I’ve ever worked at. It’s a place that feels both timeless and personal, offering couples the chance to create something truly special. And for a photographer, who only lives 5 minutes away how amazing is that! This is a venue that just suits me, my style and approach to a wedding.
