Romantic wedding photography at one of the Cotswolds’ most enchanting venues


If you’re looking for a wedding venue in Gloucestershire that feels like a secret – tucked away, full of charm, and rich in atmosphere – Owlpen Manor is it. As a Cotswolds wedding photographer, it’s one of my favourite places to shoot: intimate, characterful, and visually stunning from every angle.


Why Choose Owlpen Manor for Your Wedding in the Cotswolds?

Located near Uley, between Tetbury and Stroud, Owlpen Manor is a privately owned Tudor manor house nestled in a quiet valley in Gloucestershire. This hidden gem is surrounded by ancient woodland, formal gardens, and picture-perfect countryside — making it an ideal Cotswolds wedding venue for couples looking for a romantic, storybook setting.


The historic manor and its surrounding buildings provide a seamless flow for your day, from outdoor ceremonies under the trees to candlelit dinners in the Cyder Barn. Owlpen Manor is especially popular with couples planning intimate or small weddings in the Cotswolds.


Owlpen Manor Through a Wedding Photographer’s Lens

Photographing weddings at Owlpen Manor is a genuine pleasure. The estate has that perfect mix of old-world elegance and relaxed rural charm. The golden Cotswold stone catches the light beautifully, and the grounds offer countless options for editorial-style portraits and natural documentary coverage.


I’ve captured everything from misty morning bridal prep in the estate cottages to golden-hour portraits in the apple orchards, and late-night dancing under festoon lights. The variety of textures – stone, wood, greenery – and the play of natural light throughout the day make Owlpen Manor a versatile and inspiring venue for Cotswold wedding photography.


A Gloucestershire Wedding Venue with Heart and Heritage

Owlpen Manor is steeped in history, and you feel it in every room and pathway. For couples drawn to heritage properties with soul, it offers a deeply personal and romantic alternative to larger, more commercial venues in the Cotswolds.


As a wedding photographer familiar with Owlpen Manor, I know how to work with its unique lighting, shifting weather, and charming corners to create images that feel both timeless and emotionally true.
