Wedding Photographer and Videographer Near Gloucestershire

Choose the setting, then make the plan fit

How do the settings differ?

This guide includes Cotswold barns, Cheltenham celebrations and Clearwell Castle in the Forest of Dean. Kingscote Barn and Tortworth Court also have dedicated guides with more of our work. Use the examples to compare the feeling of the day, then confirm your own ceremony spaces and access.

What changes for an autumn or winter wedding?

Discuss daylight before fixing portrait times, and identify an indoor place for family photographs. Our archive includes Zoe and Cory's December wedding at Clearwell Castle and Zoe and Jack's October wedding at Kingscote Barn. The date and weather of your own wedding will determine the plan; a summer sunset schedule is not a year-round template.

Make the timings your own with our photography timeline guide and photo and video checklist.

Venue information

Confirm current spaces, access and arrangements directly with your venue.

House and party spaces at Elmore Court

If you want a country house with a contrasting evening setting, Elmore Court near Gloucester combines its historic house and gardens with the Gillyflower event space. Ask about the transition from ceremony to dinner and dancing when comparing it with the real weddings above.

A castle celebration at Berkeley

Berkeley Castle is another Gloucestershire option to research for a historic setting. When viewing a castle, compare the indoor ceremony and reception rooms as carefully as the gardens, so your day has a comfortable plan in every season.

The Kingscote Barn: Rolling Cotswold Romance near 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 →

Field Strolls and Unforced Couple Portraits

During the afternoon drinks reception on the lawn, we guide couples on an effortless 15-minute stroll into the fields around the barn.

We step back with telephoto lenses, letting you chat, laugh, and take in the excitement of being married.

Beyond the calm atmosphere on the day, our combined Photo and Video Team package ensures a matching, cohesive colour grade across your entire photo gallery and cinematic film. You also benefit from simplified planning with one £120 deposit, clear communication, and an instant £400 package saving compared to booking photo and film separately.

Alongside your 7–10 minute cinematic highlight film, we deliver full documentary films of your complete ceremony and speeches as standard. Every key memory is recorded to dual memory card slots simultaneously and duplicate-backed safely overnight, giving you absolute peace of mind.
