Owlpen Manor Wedding Photography – Gloucestershire Wedding Venue Hidden in the rolling Cotswold hills near Stroud, Owlpen Manor is one of Gloucestershire’s most atmospheric wedding venues.

A Cotswolds Wedding at Owlpen Manor

If you’re planning a wedding at Owlpen Manor, you’ve already made a strong choice. It’s intimate, characterful and ideal for candid, documentary wedding photography. Every room, courtyard and pathway offers texture and atmosphere, especially when the weather decides to do its own thing.

And on Georgia & Steven’s wedding day, it certainly did.


Embracing the Weather

Rain is the one thing no couple can control — especially at a Cotswolds wedding. The forecast for Georgia & Steven’s day wasn’t great, but instead of fighting it, they leaned into it.

The result? Guests gathered together indoors, conversations flowed, and the medieval Cyder Barn became the heart of the celebration. Whenever the rain eased, we stepped outside briefly to capture a few quiet moments in Owlpen’s beautiful grounds — fleeting, calm and genuinely romantic.

From a photography point of view, days like this often produce the most honest images. More time together, less rushing, and a relaxed atmosphere where moments unfold naturally.

A Final Word

Congratulations Georgia & Steven — what a brilliant day. 🥂

I hope this is giving you confidence that no matter the weather, the people around you are the most important. Just relax and enjoy your special day. These are the Kind words that Georgia & Steven wrote about me: "What can we say about Ben? He was truly the bright, fun, high energy person that we needed on our very rainy wedding day to lift our spirits and keep us relaxed and positive! When planning my wedding I just knew he was the one I wanted to photograph my big day after being so impressed by the photos he presented to my sister on her big day 9 years ago! Stunning, and natural. As expected, we are so over the moon with our photographs, I was a bit sceptical before receiving them as our wedding was such a wash out with rain and high winds, but you honestly wouldn"t know seeing the photos! Thank you Ben, from the bottom of our hearts for being so positive and cheerful on the day, for making us feel so at ease and making sure we were okay throughout the day." Georgia and Steve x
