Wedding Yurt
One of the most exciting aspects of Thorpe Garden weddings is their contemporary yurt. Offering a rustic twist on the traditional wedding marquee, the yurt is a bright and airy space – fantastic for wedding photos. The white exterior fits beautifully into any wedding styling and the timber-lined interior gives a quaint rustic feel to the structure. A key component of beautiful Thorpe Gardens wedding photography is natural light. This is in abundance in the beautifully designed yurt, ensuring photos of the wedding speeches truly exceptional. In the daytime the huge skylight floods the space with natural light creating the most stunning setting for a wedding breakfast. The timber beams of the yurt are adorned with fairy lights adding to the ambience of the space and making the transition from day to night seamless. Couples can have their first dance under the twinkling lights – this makes for a beautiful photo!

Ceremony Spaces
Couples having smaller wedding ceremonies can choose the contemporary indoor space. The large windows let in lots of natural light, this is a key component to getting the best wedding photos. We love photographing ceremonies in this bright and modern space. During the summer months, there are few things more perfect than an outdoor wedding ceremony. Thorpe Gardens is set up for outdoor wedding ceremony photography. Set within the old rose garden is a quaint summer house which holds their outdoor ceremonies. The space is large enough to accommodate up to 140 guests and if the weather changes it can be moved seamlessly to another location on site.

Natural Wedding Photography
We love the modern design of the yurt at Thorpe Gardens. This beautiful structure provides the backdrop and the guests provide the moments! Our approach to wedding photography is focused on capturing natural, candid shots. One of the best times to capture these images is during the wedding speeches. Choosing a venue like Thorpe Gardens ensures beautiful speech photography due to the attention to the design of the structure.

This attention to detail sets the venue apart from the rest.
Sunset Photos In the Gardens
One of the images we love to capture most is a sunset portrait of the newlyweds. The large open spaces at Thorpe Gardens are fantastic for this. On a clear summers evening at sunset, rays of golden light create the most stunning photographs. This is our favourite moments to capture portrait photographs of the happy couple.
