Tortworth Court Wedding Photography
Set on the edge of the South Gloucestershire countryside near Wotton-under-Edge, Tortworth Court is a striking country house wedding venue that combines grandeur with a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by arboretum gardens and mature woodland, the venue feels peaceful and tucked away, despite its impressive scale.
Tortworth Court is ideal for couples who want a wedding that feels elegant without being overly formal. The mix of historic architecture, spacious interiors and beautiful grounds makes it a fantastic setting for candid, documentary wedding photography.
A Relaxed, Documentary Wedding at Tortworth Court
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 Tortworth 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 time with your guests. Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a celebration. And the most meaningful photographs are always the natural ones don’t you think?
