FEATURED WEDDING VENUES • CAMBRIDGESHIRE, SUFFOLK & BEYOND • JUANWEDDINGS

I already know it inside out.
Twelve venues, years of shooting each one, in every season and every kind of light.
Some venues you photograph once. These, I return to year after year, and I still find something new every time.
Lanwades Hall
Kentford, SuffolkRecommended Supplier
One I shoot around fifteen times a year, and two shots I chase every single time: the staircase, and the moment the sunset crashes through the trees across the parkland. Fifteen visits in, I still find new light here.

The Granary Estates
West SuffolkPreferred Supplier — I Do Collective
Pairs the Granary and Flint Barns with a courtyard that reads well from midday to dusk, exposed beams and warm brick holding detail beautifully for documentary work.

Hengrave Hall
Hengrave, SuffolkA Tudor estate I keep returning to and would love to shoot at far more often. A private church, a stunning lake backdrop, and grounds that reward a documentary approach.

South Farm
Shingay-cum-Wendy, CambridgeshireHolds the ancient orchard and the herb garden, quiet spots most guests never find on the day, and sunsets that make this one of my favourite venues for The Unscripted. If your day is about atmosphere over posed portraits, this is where that shows.

The Old Hall
Ely, CambridgeshireRecommended Supplier
Sits with Ely Cathedral in view across the grounds, and pairs genuinely exceptional golden hour light with a gentleman's club atmosphere inside, dark wood, low light, a different mood entirely from the gardens outside.

Longstowe Hall
Longstowe, CambridgeshireRecommended Supplier
Has a moment, not guaranteed, but worth chasing, when the house reflects perfectly across the lake. I know roughly when to look for it.

Hockwold Hall
Hockwold cum Wilton, NorfolkOne of my most shot venues, though the gallery here is catching up. Thirty five acres of parkland and a walled garden give plenty of room to roam, and the Grade II listed manor holds detail beautifully once the light drops indoors. Full image gallery to follow shortly.

Island Hall
Godmanchester, CambridgeshireA curved staircase, antique bedrooms to get ready in, and a marquee reception among the trees right on the Great Ouse. One of the prettiest riverside settings I shoot in Cambridgeshire.

Swynford Manor
Six Mile Bottom, CambridgeshireA regular booking for me, an elegant house with grounds that give the day room to breathe and a conservatory that photographs beautifully for the wedding breakfast.

Childerley Hall
CambridgeshireA private estate I've only shot once so far, but one I love completely: topiary elephants, lavender borders, and a long barn made for golden hour.

Bassmead Manor Barns
CambridgeshireA sprawling estate I've shot loads of times: an atmospheric rickety barn, woodland with an almost Alaskan feel, and a venue that holds up just as well after dark.

Chippenham Park
Chippenham, SuffolkHas ancient rose gardens I use constantly to frame couples, the structure and colour do half the work before I've even composed the shot.

Choosing a venue
Questions about venue and price
Does the venue change the price?
No. Both The Unscripted and Classic Coverage start from the same £2,000, whichever of these twelve venues you choose. Travel further afield or abroad is quoted separately once your venue and date are confirmed.
What if my venue isn't one of these twelve?
That's most weddings. These are simply the venues I return to most often, not a restriction on where I'll shoot. Get in touch with your venue and date and I'll tell you honestly what I'd do with it.
Does my venue affect which package suits me, The Unscripted or Classic Coverage?
Not really, both work at any of these venues. It's more about how you want your day photographed than where it happens. Compare the two packages if you're still deciding.
Do you already know the venue coordinators at these locations?
Yes, at all twelve, since I've shot each one repeatedly across different seasons. That familiarity means less time spent working out logistics on the day, and more time actually photographing it.
Do you pay to be recommended?
No. I never pay to be recommended. I'm privileged to be recommended by these venues, and that's exactly why I offer special rates to couples marrying at them.
Getting Married Somewhere Else?
These twelve aren't the limit.
I shoot weddings across Cambridgeshire, London and beyond, including destination weddings. If your venue isn't listed here, tell me where you're getting married and I'll tell you honestly what I'd do with it.
Get In TouchI don't pay venues to be listed as a recommended supplier, and where I feature a venue I'm not officially recommended by, I say so directly.
