I’m happy with the results. It was just for fun, but I wanted to share it with you.

I was simply blown away by the place when I first saw it at the Wedding rehearsal. The long and narrow drive is twisty with speedbumps that do their job perfectly. The driveway is surrounded by trees and fences which means you cannot see the house until the last 100 metres. It really is like a scene from a movie; that long tracking shot from the cars perspective really build anticipation. As the trees move aside, it reveals this splendid building that is breathtaking!

It stands tall and proud, but it also has an independence about it. When you look at the house straight on, there is nothing else around it except sky. So it just becomes this character that just demands to be photographed. Dare I say the building is showing off!

Inside, the manor it is surprisingly intimate. That is not to say small, but not as big as I had imagined from the outside. However, it’s party piece is the main hall with it’s surrounding balcony. The decor and detail is immaculate. I could point my camera in any direction and it would be a great shot.

The staff are top grade people who are welcoming, professional and very approachable. I have been to a many weddings and whilst the staff have always been professional and welcoming I don’t always feel I can ask them questions as they are darting about getting the wedding on its way (which is understandable).

I shall leave you with some of my photos from the wedding. It truly is a spectacular wedding venue that if you are in the Home Counties and are looking for an amazing character building to host your once in a lifetime day, then I strongly recommend Hedsor House.

I have photographed there twice now, and if you include the rehearsal visits I know the venue quite well. It is attractive without being ostentatious, it’s attractiveness comes in it’s modesty; as you approach the hotel it does look simple, but as you walk up to it and walk between the pillars and through the front door you do ge a sense of occasion.

As a venue it is more than capable of handling weddings between 100-150 although it is best to contact them directly as to their exact number. For me, as a photographer, it offers numerous locations to take formal and informal photos. The lighting is great next to their big victorian windows. The bar area is spacious and yet does seem intimate. Wherever I sat I seemed connected to everyone else there; there is a nice warmth to that area which makes it very hospital if you ever need a break from the formalities of the Wedding.
