A County Down favourite

Gardens, a gazebo, and everything under one roof.

Planning a La Mon wedding and looking for a photographer who already knows the gardens, the gazebo and the way the suites flow into the evening?

The La Mon Hotel & Country Club sits in open countryside between Belfast and Comber — just a short hop from our base on the Ards Peninsula. It's a venue we know well: spacious, easy to move around, and set up so the ceremony, the photographs and the reception all happen without anyone having to travel.

What couples love here is how relaxed it feels. The landscaped gardens and the gazebo give you a proper outdoor backdrop for portraits and groups, with sheltered spaces close by for the days the weather turns. It's a venue built for a full day's celebration — which is why all-day coverage tends to suit it best.

A La Mon day

What we'll actually shoot at La Mon.

Not a rigid shot list — but the moments and corners that almost every La Mon day delivers, from the gardens to the gazebo and on into the evening.

02

The ceremonyVows and the first kiss in the suite, with space for guests and good, even light.

03

The gazeboThe venue's signature spot — couple portraits framed by the gazebo and the gardens.

04

The landscaped gardensRelaxed family groups and natural portraits across the lawns and planting.

05

Drinks reception & candidsGuests mingling, the confetti line, and the small in-between moments you'll treasure.

06

Speeches & first danceThe toasts, the cake and the dancefloor as the reception gets going.

Storybook · La Mon

Calm, unobtrusive, true to you.

La Mon is a relaxed, friendly venue — and that's exactly how we like to work too.

We stay in the background and let the day unfold: the laughter during prep, a quiet word by the gazebo, the dancefloor late on. No rigid posing and no pulling you out of the moment — just honest pictures that feel like the wedding you actually had.

If your budget allows, adding videography is a lovely touch here — the readings, the speeches and the first dance, set against the same gardens.
