Wedding venue guides
Venue-by-venue guides to photographing UK weddings.
What a guide covers
The light, the rules, the spots that work.
What each venue is actually like to photograph: where the light comes from, what the rules are, and which spots hold up when the weather turns.
The photographs show our CameraBoss wedding work and illustrate our style; they do not identify the venues listed. Please confirm current facilities, access and wedding arrangements directly with each venue.
