The Oaks Wedding Photography

A Country Barn Venue in Dilhorne

I waited a long time to finally shoot The Oaks at Oak Tree Farm in Dilhorne, Stoke-on-Trent but when it finally came in I did not hold back and absolutely loved my time at this family run wedding barn. I would love to go back as much as possible as The Oaks just inspires my wedding photography to be so much more creative

Behind the Scenes at The Oaks

Through the magic of a 360 camera, I’m able to capture behind-the-scenes content on my wedding days to show my current and future couples exactly what it would like for them to have me along at their Oaks wedding day

All of these videos and more are captured in the most subtle way making sure to not disrupt the wedding day at all. I feel the connection between a couple and their photographer is a really important factor hence why I wanted to show this part of my work as well. I’m not like every wedding photographer and showing you these behind-the-scenes videos from The Oaks hopefully helps me to reinforce that statement.

We hit the jackpot the day we secured Adam to be our photographer for our special day at The Oaks. 

In the lead up to the wedding, Adam was always on hand to answer any questions, offer reassurance and to make us laugh! The day was no different. The professionalism shown by Adam throughout was second to none and the result were photographs that we and our families will cherish forever. 

Anybody who is lucky enough to have Adam as their wedding photographer really has struck gold.

The History of The Oaks Barn at Oak Tree Farm

Tucked away in the serene Staffordshire Moorlands of Dilhorne, The Oaks Barn boasts a history as captivating as the landscape surrounding it. Long before it became the cherished wedding venue it is today; this land was an oak tree farm with rows of majestic oak trees. Nurtured over decades, the trees were a significant part of the local economy, offering timber and a rustic beauty that characterised the area.

The farm itself was a bustling hub of activity. For generations, it stood as a testament to the hard work and dedication of those who tended to it.

Over time, as agriculture evolved and needs shifted, the farm saw various transformations. There were periods when it served as a peaceful retreat for locals and a space for communal gatherings. The Oaks Barn, which is now the centrepiece of The Oaks Wedding Venue, was originally used to store farm equipment and shelter livestock, its sturdy structure standing the test of time.

In more recent years, as the landscape of the wedding industry blossomed, the vision to transform The Oaks Barn into a wedding venue took root. The process was gradual, respecting the land’s rich heritage while infusing it with new life and purpose. The essence of its past still lingers in the air, offering a unique backdrop for couples who choose to tie the knot here at The Oaks Wedding Barn.

The barn itself is spacious and full of character, with plenty of room for all your guests to mingle and enjoy the celebrations. The barn’s design, with its high beams and exposed brick, ensures that no matter the weather, your Oak Tree Farm wedding day will be picture-perfect.

The ceremony can be held either inside the barn, with its rustic yet elegant vibe, or outside in the picturesque surroundings. The choice is yours!

After the “I dos,” guests enjoy a fantastic reception in the barn, complete with a fully licensed bar, DJ, and live music facilities. Speaking from experience – Oak Tree Barn wedding days flow like a dream.

From the oak tree farm origins to the beautifully restored barn, every detail has been carefully considered to make your wedding day unforgettable.
