Hatton Court Wedding Photography
Set on the edge of the Cotswolds near Gloucester, Hatton Court is a country house wedding venue with far-reaching views across the Gloucestershire countryside. With its peaceful setting, elegant interiors and welcoming atmosphere, it offers a sense of calm that allows weddings to feel relaxed and unhurried.
Hatton Court is ideal for couples who want a wedding that feels refined but not formal. The combination of open spaces, light-filled rooms and countryside views makes it a great setting for candid, documentary wedding photography, where moments unfold naturally rather than being staged.
Photography That Captures Your Wedding In a Storytelling Way.
While photography is obviously important, it’s only one part of your whole wedding day. What really matters is celebrating your commitment and bringing two families together. You may have guests travelling from all over to be there, and you should have the time and space to actually enjoy them.
My approach at Hatton Court is always documentary-led. I capture the fun, emotion and atmosphere as it unfolds, working quietly with a fly-on-the-wall presence. I won’t pull you away for hours of posed photos or make you miss your drinks reception. Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a celebration. And the most meaningful photographs are always the natural ones.

Venue & Backdrops for Photography at Hatton Court
Hatton Court offers a lovely variety of settings for relaxed, natural wedding photography:
- The House: Elegant interiors with great light for preparations and candid moments
- Terrace & Gardens: Perfect for drinks receptions and guest interactions
- Countryside Views: Panoramic Gloucestershire landscapes ideal for calm couple portraits
- Seasonal Light: Works beautifully in all seasons, from summer evenings to cosy winter weddings
The setting allows for strong images without pulling couples away from the flow of the day.
Group Photos Without Stopping the Day
Of course, I’m always happy to photograph family and friend group shots — they’re important too. I simply recommend keeping them relaxed and limited. Around 8–10 group photos is usually ideal and means they don’t interrupt the flow of the day or pull you away from your guests for too long.
At a venue like Hatton Court, keeping things moving helps maintain the calm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.
