Venues
What makes a great wedding venue? Most people think of stately homes and fantastic gardens and it’s true these all make superb locations but the creative photographer can always find a location – some of my best shots were taken in a car park.
It’s nice to have great views and pretty churches but most of all photographers like locations with plenty of shade and lots of interesting nooks and crannies – there’s nothing worse than having your groups steaming in the summer sun and we like the venues who treat their wedding parties with respect and give great service.
Here are a few of my favourites
Ardencote Manor Hotel
Billesley Manor
Coombe Abbey
Cotswold House Hotel
Dumbleton Hall Hotel
Ettington Park Hotel
Walton Hall
Moreton Hall
Wedding Planners
If the idea of planning the wedding all sounds too much then get some help. There’s no point in getting stressed out on the most important day of your life because the flowers haven’t arrived or the place cards are wrong.
Here are two professional wedding organisers who will make all the stress go away
