Planning your wedding photographs at Combermere Abbey
Natural moments in the Glasshouse
The Glasshouse gives the ceremony a light-filled garden setting. I’ll capture the space as well as the reactions, nerves and celebrations within it. When planning the day, we can connect the ceremony, confetti and family photographs so that there is still plenty of time to enjoy the reception.
Choosing a route through the walled gardens
The walled gardens offer paths, planting and different backdrops within one part of the estate. Rather than try to visit every location, we’ll choose a short route that suits the season and available light. This helps you get varied portraits without spending too long away from your guests.
Allowing time for the wider estate
If photographs by the lake or historic Abbey buildings are a priority, let me know before the day so we can discuss access and allow realistic time within the schedule. We’ll confirm what works with the venue arrangements and conditions, then keep the rest of the photography close to the celebration.
How much time should we allow for photographs?
Couple portraits usually take around 10–15 minutes while your guests are being called to dine. Family groups need their own time in the schedule, depending on your list. We’ll discuss both before the wedding, leaving room for the moments that happen naturally.
Can we book Tom or a team photographer?
Yes, subject to availability. Choose Tom or one of our team photographers, with every final photograph personally edited by Tom. Meet Tom and the team and explore our wedding photography to get a feel for the approach.
Photography and videography for your wedding
If you would like a film alongside your photographs, explore our wedding videography and combined photography and film packages. Share your date and venue so we can confirm availability and the coverage that fits your plans.
