Tylney Hall, Hook
Tylney Hall is located near Hook in Hampshire. It’s a lovely country house with endless grounds. From a photography point of view it’s a total spoiler, as the range of locations for photography are limitless…

Wedding at Hotel du Vin, Poole
Hotel du Vin is a fairly new addition to the harbour area of Poole in Dorset. I was visiting for a small family wedding, with the bride and groom keen on reportage photography. This warm family wedding also featured a second day on Brownsea Island, for a larger group of friends and family…
Brownsea Island, Dorset
The island operates very much in the same way as a park would, so you do have the occasional non-wedding guest walking around, but with the location of the building in relation to the ferry dock, you should find the public are few are far between. Strangely enough, most of the public we encountered were nature photographers…
Ravenswood in Sussex
The wedding was held in a large octagonal hall at the centre of the hotel. Despite the rain the abundance of windows gave me plenty of light to work with, and so I didn’t need to use flash.

The Clock Barn, Whitchurch

Holy Ghost Church Basingstoke

The Fennes Wedding Venue
The Fennes is a Georgian Manor House in Essex, just outside Braintree. Like many country venues, you’ll get exclusive use of the venue by default. So you’ll avoid having awkward moments of “is this person a long lost auntie?”…
Wedding at Shaw House, Newbury
Although Shaw House is open to the public, I didn’t encounter anyone outside of the wedding party, so the House felt exclusive throughout the short ceremony. I was working in a reportage role, so the lack of public mingling certainly helped. As Shaw House is a registry office, you may find at weekends this exclusivity starts to fade, so before booking it is worth asking about this…
Langrish House
Wedding venues love to claim they’re “unique” but I usually raise a cynical eyebrow when I hear it. If you feel the same way, let me justify my view that Langrish House is worthy of holding the title of a “unique” wedding venue…
