Larmer Tree Gardens Wedding Photograher
Larmer Tree Gardens Wedding Photographer
Levi and Trevor’s Larmer Tree Gardens wedding was spectacular. I was a little worried about their plans for an outdoor humanist ceremony. Lets face it, June has been a poor month for weather so far! With drizzle in the morning the skies only cleared when Levi arrived for the wedding ceremony. I don’t describe many wedding venues as being enigmatic but Larmer Tree Gardens really has something special about it. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe it’s the amazing architecture, the beautiful surrounding country or maybe the peacocks. It’s really a peaceful, carefree and a happy place to be. Being a Larmer Tree Gardens wedding photographer is a dream job.
I was so happy to be able to capture the story of their wedding day. There was so much emotion and their friends from London were a really fun crowd. Levi wore the most beautiful custom made dress from Jo Irvine Designs. And, if you’re curious, Trevor’s suit was from Primani! They collected wild flowers from a market in London and arranged them themselves on the day. As well as baking ginger bread people and decorating them for the favours.
The Wedding Day
Levi was so fun to be around, she literally didn’t stop smiling all day. Even during the rain in the morning she wore a smile and didn’t let the gloomy looking clouds spoil her mood. Trevor offered to carry my heavy camera bag on several occasions and even offered me a celebratory whiskey in the morning (which I declined!) It was quite the international turnout for the wedding with friends and family coming from all over the world and Trevor’s family from South Africa. Lots of their friends and family baked and bought wedding cakes for a competition which was a nice personal touch. As well as tasting pretty amazing with an afternoon tea.
One of my favourite anecdotes from Trevor was that he showed all of his friends the wedding photos. A lot of them asked ‘dude, why are you holding umbrellas before the ceremony, it’s sunny?’ Ah… the magic of photography! Truth was that it was raining a little and it was pretty touch and go as to whether they could have an outdoor wedding ceremony at Larmer Tree. Larmer Tree has it’s own little micro climate and it’s tricky to predict what will happen for the beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony.
A huge thank you for having me along and making me feel so welcome – I wish you as much fun and happiness for the future as I saw on your wedding day.

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 LARMER TREE
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.
