CORNWELL MANOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Cornwell Manor is a wedding venue on a 2,000-acre estate near Chipping Norton, and its own site says weddings run from May to October. I photograph weddings across Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds in a documentary way, so the day is recorded as it happens.

A thoughtful approach to your day

I'd photograph a Cornwell Manor wedding the way the day unfolds: documentary at heart, editorial in finish, on a mix of digital and 35mm film.

No stiff posing, no missing the moments that matter. Cornwell Manor's own site covers the venue details: cornwellmanor.com/weddings

Where are the best places for portraits at Cornwell Manor?
That depends on what the venue allows on the day, so ask them when you book.

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Oxfordshire?
The Documentary Collection is £2,200 for ten hours, with film included. All three collections are in the Lookbook.

Do you photograph weddings outside Oxfordshire?
Yes. I regularly travel into the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire, and further afield for the right couple.

How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 12 to 18 months ahead, especially for weekend dates at popular Oxfordshire venues. Early enquiries are always welcome.

Do you offer engagement shoots in Oxfordshire?
Yes, an Oxfordshire engagement shoot is included with the Documentary Collection. It's a relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the day itself.

What's your photography style?
Documentary and honest. I capture the day as it unfolds rather than directing every moment, with a calm, unobtrusive presence throughout.

Oxford, the Cotswolds
