Natural, documentary wedding photography and film at Hatherley Manor Hotel & Spa, a 17th-century manor between Gloucester and Cheltenham.

The venue

A 17th-century manor
in 37 acres of grounds.

Hatherley Manor sits at Down Hatherley, just outside Gloucester and a short hop from Cheltenham. It's a 17th-century manor house set in 37 acres, with lawns, an orchard and an old walled garden.

You can get married inside or out in the pavilion in the walled garden, and there are rooms and a spa on site for everyone. It's one of Gloucestershire's best-known wedding venues for a reason.

Photographer's notes

What it's like to shoot here.

01

The walled garden

The garden pavilion is a lovely spot for an outdoor ceremony, and the walls make a great backdrop for confetti.

02

The grounds

Lawns and old trees everywhere, so group shots and portraits happen a few steps from the bar.

03

The feel

Polished but friendly. The team run a smooth day, which leaves me free to catch the real moments.

Your day, not a photoshoot.

Most of your gallery will be real moments: the nerves, the laughs, the tears in the front row and the chaos on the dancefloor. I'll take you away for a short portrait session when the light is good, then hand you back to your guests.
