Elmore Court Wedding Photographer
Elegant, Romantic & Soulful Wedding Photography at Elmore Court in Gloucestershire
The Elmore Court is one of the most distinctive and sought-after wedding venues in the Cotswolds. With its elegant historic manor house, stunning countryside setting, and the unique Gillyflower reception space, it offers a beautiful balance between traditional English charm and contemporary celebration.
As a Cotswolds wedding photographer, Elmore Court is a venue I always enjoy photographing. The variety of locations across the grounds, combined with the relaxed atmosphere of the venue, creates wonderful opportunities for natural, storytelling wedding photography.
My approach is calm and documentary-led, allowing your wedding day to unfold naturally while capturing the atmosphere, emotion and beauty of each moment.

Located just outside Gloucester in the Gloucestershire countryside, Elmore Court feels wonderfully private and exclusive. The venue is set within beautiful grounds overlooking the River Severn and surrounded by peaceful rural landscapes.

Golden hour at Elmore Court is particularly magical. The warm light across the countryside creates a soft, romantic atmosphere that photographs beautifully.
A Relaxed Documentary Approach
My style of wedding photography blends documentary storytelling with a refined editorial touch.
Rather than directing every moment of the day, I focus on capturing genuine moments as they naturally happen — laughter with friends, emotional moments during the ceremony, and the atmosphere of the celebration.
Alongside this documentary approach, I gently guide a few relaxed portraits so you have beautiful photographs of the two of you together within the surroundings of Elmore Court.
Couples often say they love that their photographs feel:
• natural and unposed
• romantic and atmospheric
• elegant and timeless
• full of genuine emotion
This allows you to fully enjoy your wedding day while still receiving a gallery of stunning images.
