Are all these venues in Bath?
No. Coombe Lodge is in Blagdon, Elmhay Park is near Frome and Pennard House is near Shepton Mallet. Kingscote Barn and Matara are Cotswold options in Gloucestershire, farther from Bath. We have included them as alternatives, with their locations clearly labelled, rather than treating them as Bath city venues.
How do you choose a manageable portrait plan?
Look at the spaces near your reception and keep a short walk within the drinks reception. Bethany and Sean's Coombe Lodge photographs and Becky and Kieran's film give you two examples at the same venue. Discuss an indoor alternative, access and room changes with the venue before finalising your schedule.
Make the timings your own with our photography timeline guide and photo and video checklist.

Standout Wedding Venues Near Bath & North East Somerset
Whether you envision an exclusive country manor house, an intimate valley barn, a tranquil courtyard sanctuary, or a light-flooded orangery, the region surrounding Bath boasts some of the country's most remarkable settings:
Coombe Lodge, Blagdon
Coombe Lodge is in Blagdon, North Somerset. Bethany and Sean’s August 2024 photographs and Becky and Kieran’s highlight film give you two examples of our work there. The venue’s official information describes the house and gardens overlooking the surrounding countryside.
If you are planning an outdoor ceremony, confirm who makes the weather decision and where you will move indoors. Keep a short portrait window near the reception, rather than building the schedule around a particular sunset. Coombe Lodge’s official wedding information →
For couple portraits, we simply set off for a calm 15-minute stroll through the grounds. With the Mendip ridge rising in the distance, Bethany and Sean were able to take a breath together as newlyweds while we documented genuine, candid moments without any stiff direction.
The Kingscote Barn, Tetbury
Our Kingscote Barn archive includes Louise and Ryan’s June 2024 wedding, Graeme and Coz’s April 2023 wedding, and Zoe and Jack’s October 2023 wedding. Those different dates are useful context when comparing photographs of the same venue.
Confirm the ceremony option and wet-weather alternative, then keep portraits close to the celebration. Our dedicated guide includes more photographs and a highlight film to help you picture the setting. Explore our Kingscote Barn wedding guide →
Following their ceremony, Zoe and Jack joined us for a brief walk along the valley paths, enjoying wide-open views while we captured spontaneous laughter and relaxed connection as the afternoon sun warmed the pale limestone hills.
The Matara Centre, Kingscote
Matara is in Kingscote, Gloucestershire. Its official wedding information describes several ceremony choices, including the courtyard, house and Hilarium. The photographs in this guide give you a starting point for discussing the kind of setting you would enjoy.
Check exactly which spaces are included in your booking and how guests will move between them. An indoor alternative and a short portrait route can keep the day comfortable without trying to visit every part of the grounds. Matara’s official ceremony information →
With its secluded labyrinth paths and reflective ponds, couple portraits at Matara feel like a peaceful meditation rather than a photo session. We simply followed Zoe and Jamie as they explored the leafy cloisters, capturing tender, unposed moments that preserved the authentic calm of their day.
Elmhay Park & Orchardleigh Estate, Frome
Rachel and Jarrad’s July 2026 wedding at Elmhay Park is part of our archive. The venue is near Frome in Somerset, so check the actual journey if your preparations or ceremony begin in Bath or another town.
Confirm the spaces you have booked, when guests can arrive and any changeover between ceremony and dining. Share those timings with us so photography and film can fit naturally into the celebration. Elmhay Park’s official venue information →
During the golden hour transition, we took Rachel and Jarrad for a relaxed 15-minute walk around the walled perimeter and estate grounds. The gentle evening light reflected softly off the orangery glass, yielding warm, timeless portraits that felt completely effortless.
Pennard House, Shepton Mallet
Our archive includes Charlotte and Matt’s July 2022 wedding at Pennard House, near Shepton Mallet. It is a Somerset option outside Bath itself, with its own setting and travel considerations.
When visiting, ask to see the rooms and outdoor areas included in your booking. Identify a comfortable place for family photographs and a short route for the two of you, with an indoor alternative agreed beforehand. Pennard House’s official venue information →
As the sun dipped lower, Charlotte and Matt took a gentle wander past the lake and through the orchard. With our duo coordinating silently, we captured both intimate photographs and sweeping cinematic video footage without ever rushing the couple or pulling them away from their loved ones.

Communication Without Words: Why Couples Book Us Together
Separate photographers and filmmakers can work well together. If you book them independently, ask how they will coordinate ceremony positions, audio and portrait time. As a dedicated team, we discuss those details together during planning and give you one point of contact.
Because we have photographed and filmed over 400 weddings together side by side, our choreography is completely instinctive. We know exactly where the other is standing at any given second. One subtle nod during the ceremony is all it takes to communicate a shift in angle. We never crowd you, we never obstruct your guests, and your portrait stroll is a single, relaxed walk that covers both your photographs and your cinematic film at the same time.
Best of all, your finished wedding photographs and your cinematic highlight film are edited with the exact same warm, natural colour palette so that your entire visual memory feels like one cohesive heirloom. Booking both services through our combined team package also saves £300 compared to booking photo and video separately, with one booking agreement and a single £120 deposit to secure your date.
Wedding Videography in Bath: Sound, Motion, and Real Feeling
Photographs preserve frozen glimpses of time, but film brings the voices, laughter, and movement right back to life. In ten, twenty, or fifty years, you will want to hear the crack in your partner’s voice as they read their vows, the raucous laughter rippling across the dining room during speeches, and the song that brought everyone flooding onto the dancefloor.
Video is never an afterthought or a rushed add-on in our packages. We record professional multi-channel audio using tiny, discreet lapel microphones that clip neatly out of view. In addition to your 7 to 10 minute cinematic highlight film, every package includes complete, full-length documentary cuts of your entire wedding ceremony and all speeches. Every single file is recorded simultaneously to dual memory card slots in each camera and backed up twice over immediately upon returning home.
