Country estates, manor houses and exclusive venues across the South of England

 
 

Where We Do Our Finest Work

Over 15 years and close to 300 weddings, we have had the privilege of working at some of the most breathtaking venues in the South of England. Country estates where the light in the late afternoon turns everything golden. Manor houses with rooms that have seen centuries of celebrations. Private family homes where the garden has been the backdrop to generations of memories.

These are the places we know intimately — the hidden corners, the best light, the spots that don't appear in the brochure but make for extraordinary photographs. If you are planning your wedding at one of the venues below, we already know your venue and we would love to talk.

If your venue isn't listed, please don't let that put you off. We travel throughout the UK and internationally for the right wedding — and discovering a new venue with a wonderful couple is one of our greatest pleasures.

 

Pylewell Park

Hampshire / Dorset Border

A private country estate of breathtaking elegance, set within acres of parkland on the edge of the New Forest with views across the Solent. Pylewell Park is one of our most beloved venues — the light across the lawn in the late afternoon, the walled gardens, the intimacy of a truly private estate. We have photographed numerous weddings here and know every corner of it.

 

Came House

Dorset

A stunning Grade II* listed Georgian country house just outside Dorchester, surrounded by parkland and formal gardens. Came House has an understated elegance that suits couples looking for something refined and classic — it photographs beautifully in every season.

 

Smedmore House

Dorset

A beautifully preserved Georgian manor house on the Isle of Purbeck, with views across Kimmeridge Bay and the Jurassic Coast. Smedmore has an intimacy and warmth that belies its grandeur — it feels like a home, because it is one. Weddings here have a very particular quality of light and atmosphere that we find endlessly inspiring.

St Giles House

Dorset

The ancestral home of the Earls of Shaftesbury, St Giles House is one of Dorset's most magnificent venues — a Grade I listed country house set within a spectacular private park. The interiors are extraordinary and the grounds offer endless possibilities. A venue that rewards a photographer who knows how to work with grand architecture and natural light in equal measure.

 

Lulworth Castle

Dorset

Set within the private Lulworth Estate on the stunning Jurassic Coast, Lulworth Castle is one of the most dramatic and romantic wedding venues in the South of England. The castle itself provides extraordinary backdrops, and the estate grounds offer sweeping countryside views that are unlike anything else in Dorset.

 

The Hurlingham Club

London

One of London's most exclusive and prestigious private members' clubs, The Hurlingham Club sits within 42 acres of private grounds in Fulham — a remarkable oasis in the city. The combination of elegant interiors, sweeping riverside gardens and an impeccably high-end atmosphere makes it one of the finest wedding venues in the country.

Pynes House

Devon

A privately owned country house near Exeter, Pynes House offers the warmth and intimacy of a family home combined with the grandeur of a Georgian estate. The interiors are beautifully decorated and the grounds — sweeping lawns, walled gardens, mature woodland — provide extraordinary variety for wedding photography.

 

Somerley Estate

Hampshire

A magnificent private estate on the edge of the New Forest, Somerley is one of Hampshire's grandest and most beautiful wedding venues. The Georgian house, the formal gardens, the lake and the surrounding parkland make it a photographer's dream. We have worked here multiple times and it never disappoints.

 

The Private Home

Anywhere!

There is something utterly irreplaceable about a wedding held in the grounds of a private home — the lawn where you spent every childhood summer, the view from the terrace your family has looked out over for generations. A marquee on a private estate combines the elegance of a proper celebration with the intimacy of somewhere that genuinely means something. We have photographed many such weddings across Dorset, Hampshire and beyond, and they remain among our most treasured work.
