Secret Valley wedding photographer.
Vineyards, cabins and a proper party.
Natural, documentary wedding photography and film at Secret Valley, a hidden-away vineyard venue in the foothills of the Quantock Hills.
A hidden valley
with its own vineyard.
Secret Valley is tucked away at Goathurst, near Bridgwater, in the foothills of the Quantocks. It's got its own vineyard, a lake, a woodland secret garden and a field full of cabins and shepherd's huts for your guests.
It's a do-it-your-way venue: bring your own caterers, have the ceremony by the lake or in the garden, and turn the whole weekend into a festival with your favourite people.
Visit Secret Valley's websiteWhat it's like to shoot here.
The vineyard
Rows of vines and golden evening light. Ten minutes out here at sunset is all you need for portraits you'll love.
The ceremony spots
Lakeside or the woodland secret garden. Outdoors, relaxed, with guests close enough to see every reaction.
The feel
Festival vibes. Sunglasses, wild dancing and guests staying on site means the party just keeps going.
Sophie's wedding at Secret Valley.
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.
