Why The Greenway Is Perfect for Wedding Photography
One of the reasons I love photographing weddings at The Greenway is the variety of beautiful backdrops available throughout the venue.
Some favourite photography locations include:
- The elegant manor house exterior and gardens
- The sweeping lawns and countryside views
- The stylish interior reception rooms
- Quiet corners of the grounds for romantic portraits
The gardens are particularly beautiful during the drinks reception, while the surrounding countryside offers wonderful opportunities for relaxed couple portraits later in the day.
My Approach as a Cheltenham Wedding Photographer
My approach to wedding photography is relaxed, documentary-led and unobtrusive.
Rather than directing the day, I focus on capturing the genuine moments as they naturally unfold — the emotion of the ceremony, the laughter during drinks reception and the atmosphere of the evening celebrations.
Alongside this documentary style, I also guide a small number of natural editorial-style portraits around the venue grounds. These are relaxed and quick, allowing couples to enjoy their wedding day while still receiving beautiful images to frame and treasure.
The Greenway’s gardens and countryside setting work beautifully for this style of photography.
