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.
