Photographing a Wedding at a New Warwickshire Venue
There are pros and cons to photographing a venue you know inside out. Some couples book me precisely because I’ve photographed their Warwickshire wedding venue many times before — and I completely understand the reassurance that brings.
But there’s something I genuinely love about photographing a venue for the first time.
I turn into a bit of a kid in a candy shop. Eyes wide open, constantly exploring. I’m always looking for new angles, unexpected pockets of light, and fresh vantage points that help tell the story of the day in a way that feels unique to that couple.
Having photographed close to 1,000 weddings, that instinct to quickly read a space and find strong perspectives is second nature. A new venue doesn’t slow me down — it sharpens my focus. I arrive 100% energised, curious and ready to make the most of whatever the day brings.
Chloe & Alex’s Blackwell Grange Wedding
Chloe & Alex trusted that approach completely. Although Blackwell Grange is relatively local to me, I’d never had the opportunity to photograph a wedding there before. I arrived that morning genuinely buzzing — excited to explore the venue and, more importantly, to document their day as it naturally unfolded.
Blackwell Grange delivered in every way. The balance between old and new gave the photography real depth: clean architectural lines alongside textured, historic details. Outdoors, the surrounding countryside offered calm, open space for guests to relax, chat and enjoy the day without feeling rushed or managed.
Their wedding felt warm, unforced and full of genuine connection — exactly the kind of atmosphere that suits candid, documentary wedding photography.
A Final Word
Congratulations Chloe & Alex — what a brilliant day. 🥂
