Stunning Photo Locations

Combermere has so many fabulous locations for wedding photos. The mile long driveway takes you to the walled gardens through picturesque parkland. After passing ancient oak trees you come to an original stone archway. At every turn there are beautiful features to marvel at. Wedding photographers at The Abbey are spoilt for choice for places to take pictures. We love to use the idyllic natural setting as a backdrop to contemporary wedding photos. One of the best places for pictures at Combermere is The Glasshouse. Aptly named the Edwardian conservatory is brimming with charm. The entrance to The Glasshouse is through a beautiful maze. A wonderful place for wedding photos. The glass panels let natural light stream through, a very important component to achieving stunning wedding images.

Our Style Of Wedding Photography

Wedding photography is all about moments. We like to let the day flow naturally and capture lots of candid pictures throughout the day. Starting with bridal preparation, there are some must-have photos like a picture of the dress and the bride having her makeup done. When we aren’t taking these photos we are looking for smiles, laughter and emotional moments to photograph. It’s also really important for us to take portraits of the bride before she heads to Combermere for the ceremony. We take these more posed photos in the most natural way possible so that the bride feels comfortable and looks her best in the images. A relaxed couple will certainly get the best photos. An unobtrusive approach is key to getting the best wedding photos.
