Best Wedding Venues UK

Kew Gardens doesn't need any introduction as a venue. The botanical venue is impressive, just as a place to go and visit, but it becomes extra special as a venue for a wedding. Granting you private access after the gates close is pretty cool. I have photographed a few weddings at Kew, including Ben and Sarah's beautiful Orangery wedding and Tinuke and Abel's Cambridge Cottage wedding. Kew Gardens also makes a great place to have a couples portrait session.

Adam and Louise's wedding was epic, from the moving church service to the massive evening party at the Gherkin. In between, the reception was held at the Beautiful Queen's House in Greenwich. It was recently renovated, so its elegance is really highlighted. It is definitely one to consider if you are looking for something unique in London.

Syon Park is Kew Gardens' little sister, but definitely not the ugly sister. A botanical garden in its own right, it has a beautiful glasshouse that has hosted many fine weddings. One of my early weddings, which I photographed, was at Syon Park. It was a very memorable and elegant one. It is definitely a venue you should consider if you are also looking at Kew Gardens.

This is one of the most beautiful wedding venues and hotels in London. Set in the vibrant East End, its location is unique compared to many Hotels of this standard. All the work they did when restoring it makes the architecture shine. Here are examples of how you can have two very different weddings at the Town Hall Hotel. James and Jinny's Chinese-Anglo tea ceremony and party, and Logan and Dan's warm autumn day.

The Landmark Arts Centre is a deconsecrated church, so it was appropriate to photograph a gay wedding there. All joking aside, it's a beautiful and unique venue with elegant ecclesiastical energy. What's cool is if you are into your music, like Chris and Nathan's Landmark Arts Centre Wedding, you have excellent acoustics to play with.

Ash Barton Estate is a beautiful yet intimate wedding venue in Devon's rolling countryside. The whole house can be hired, and even though it's big, it feels very private and intimate. I photographed Tom and Roxy's outdoor Ash Barton wedding, and even though there was some rain at David and Erin's wedding, there are various spaces that make it a flexible venue.

Whatley Manor is a converted 17th-century manor that is now a hotel, spa, and beautiful wedding venue. What I loved about Whatley Manor is that it feels secluded and private. Many different spaces and environments give their own unique feel, but they still feel part of a bigger place. Also, the gardens and planting are really lovely, and they were perfect for Amy and George's outdoor wedding ceremony.

Knepp Castle Estate is a beautiful, secluded, and unusual wedding venue. It is set next to a lake and a rewilding project, and it is very cool. Check out Sophie and Lynda's Knepp Castle Wedding.

Originally a manor house and farm, Tros Yr Afon, built in 1834, is now a beautiful wedding venue and getaway retreat. It is a gorgeous setting for a wedding, and the light, like that of other areas of the UK on that longitude, is just beautiful. Hannah and James's wedding was truly memorable in the unforgettable Welsh landscape!
