Our photography style is natural and relaxed, perfect for those locations.

Unusual Herefordshire wedding venues

Bredenbury Court Barns in Bredenbury

This new venue is a mixture of tradition and modern elegance. Their stunning orangery is bathed in natural light and you can see some truly amazing Herefordshire countryside views from there. Our first Bredenbury Court bride got married there because this venue was also her school a few years back.

Broadfield Court, Hereford

Broadfield is one of those unique and unusual Herefordshire wedding venues with even more stunning views, beautiful gardens and elegant interiors. The first wedding photographed by us there was an outdoor ceremony followed by a garden party, treasure hunt and outdoor dancing (take a look at the fist video). The second Broadfield Court wedding was also featured on Coco wedding venues blog.

Brooks Country House – Pengethley Manor, Ross-on-Wye

This country house hotel is another venue with stunning views. We love their library too – such a perfect backdrop for wedding photographs. We photographed our first wedding there back in 2013.

This historic house is perfect if on your wedding day you want to completely forget about the XXI century. Driving up to this stunning wedding venue and then spending the day there really feels like traveling back in time.

The Forge, Hereford

This wedding venue is so unique, we especially like their gorgeous restored stained glass windows and the fact that it can easily seat up to 200 wedding guests. Our first wedding photographed there was truly stunning and original and the evening party was unforgettable!
