It was great to return to Sudeley Castle wedding venue in Gloucestershire for Katie and Adam’s wedding. It’s such a lovely venue and in particular I love the little on-site church that you can get married in. It has so much charm and character plus the light in there is beautiful. I’ve so much love for those black and white floor tiles, call me crazy but they go hand in hand with a black tie theme.
During the ceremony celebrant @juliahawkescelebrant talked all about how Katie and Adam met. Humanist weddings are becoming more and more popular and it’s easy to see why. They are so much more personal to the couple and fun for the guests.
Then after the ceremony everyone headed outside enjoy the sun and gardens at Sudeley Castle. They were full of colour and all the flowers were out on display. It made for a great backdrop for group photos and couple photos and goes hand in hand with my colourful style.
Although it was a very relaxed day everyone looked amazing. Specifically the guys in black tie from dapper in Dorking @dapper_dorking. The food was delicious, particularly the evening pizza and the band, who were absolutely brilliant Band/DJ | Apollo Soul SIX @apollosoulband kept everyone on the dance floor. I think my favourite part of the day was the speeches. In particular Katie’s aunts did a speech that really hit at the heart strings. And Adam’s best men dropped a few bombs too, they were laugh out loud funny!
It was a huge privilege to be there and I loved being part of the day. I hope all these photos being back the day for many many years to come!

THE IDEAL VENUE FOR COUPLES WANTING TO CREATE A ROMANTIC & CASUAL COTSWOLDS VIBE
Elmore Court is one of those venues that just has it all. Tucked away in the Gloucestershire countryside, it’s a 750-year-old house that feels grand and historic, but never stuffy – the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. I love going there and the staff could not be more welcoming and helpful. I’ve been there in all seasons and it’s such a beautiful place to celebrate.
As a wedding photographer, I love shooting here because there’s so much variety; the light in the main house is beautiful, the gardens are perfect for a wander (and some relaxed portraits), and then you’ve got the Gillyflower – a purpose-built party space that was made for big nights on the dance floor. It’s a venue that balances history and modern style effortlessly, and it always gives couples such a stunning backdrop to their day.

I LOVE ELMORE
If there’s one place that could be considered the crème de la crème of all South West wedding venues, then Elmore Court would be it.
It’s no surprise, then, that I absolutely adore it when couples ask me to be their Elmore Court wedding photographer!
A BIT ABOUT IT
FOUNDED IN 1274
Elmore Court has everything you could possibly want from your wedding venue by the bucketful. It’s the most magical space set at the north of the Severn Vale, and has been in the hands of the same family since 1274.
This means that alongside the aesthetics, the venue also has an incredible feel to it, which is key when you’re spending one of the most important days and/or weekends of your life there!
CHURCH WEDDING?
If you’re looking for a religious ceremony there’s a church less than a mile away; but you can also have civil ceremonies in the Hall inside the house, which has incredible high ceilings and stained glass windows. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting a kickass ceremony in there as Rebecca and Steven’s Elmore Court wedding photographer. Just before they walked down the aisle together, the New York Brass band burst out from behind the door and started playing; it was honestly INCREDIBLE.
THE RECEPTION
Where can you go after the ceremony? Rebecca and Steven continued their party onto the grassy lawn outside, where they and their guests, among other things, enjoyed a spot of 3pm limbo (You don’t get enough 3pm limbo at weddings, in my opinion.)
Elmore Court truly is one of the most stunning wedding venues around. I’ve shot weddings there throughout the year, and it never fails to wow! Turning every corner reveals new wonder; which is great for guests, as it makes for an unforgettable day, but also great for your Elmore Court wedding photographer, as it means there’s always new backdrops and portraits spots to get excited about.
