Photographs mean everything in the world of weddings. FACT.
All that planning, just for one day! However, the sheer magic of it all will live forever through each moment captured on camera.
Discussing your shot wish list with your photographer is an essential task ahead of your big day. Together you can discuss the style of photos you like, those must-have snaps for your wedding album and most importantly any photo shoot locations you wish to visit on the day and a estimated time frame for each.
To help make things a little easier, the team over at Hallmark Hotels will be sharing their top photo shoot locations with us each month. With wedding venues all over the UK, they are quite the experts and know lots of stunning hotspots to give your pictures that extra WOW factor.
The Welcombe Hotel
Stratford-upon-Avon has many show-stopping locations for wedding photos. A favourite spot for many wedding couples is Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe, Stratford-upon-Avon. Set in 157 acres of magnificently manicured grounds, the flower-filled gardens are guaranteed to make your pictures pop! Inside the Grade II listed mansion are luxurious red-carpeted and opulent spaces that make a striking backdrop as the happy couple exchanges wedding vows.
Warwick Castle
About nine miles from Stratford is Warwick Castle, where you can strike a pose on the towers and ramparts. If you prefer a dark and moody style of shooting, you could enter the Castle Dungeon – but you need to be very brave to avoid the wicked Witches of Warwick!
This might not be everyone’s idea of a romantic spot, but there are tonnes of photo opportunities that will appeal to your humorous side.
About The Town
Just engaged? Stratford-upon-Avon is THE most romantic place to capture your love and happiness with an engagement shoot.
Of course, the Warwickshire town is most associated with William Shakespeare. You can have a photograph taken outside the house in which the playwright was born, and really immerse yourself in this poetic era.
Anne Hathaway’s cottage and gardens are where the young Shakespeare courted his wife. The Hathaway House is a pretty thatched cottage surrounded by stunning gardens and open spaces.
The River Avon is also a renowned favourite for local photographers. Here, you can hire rowing boats and create the perfect setting to steal a few kisses while your photographer quietly snaps those intimate moments from afar.
If you are dreaming of the perfect Stratford-upon-Avon wedding, why not consult the Wedding Team at Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe, Stratford-upon-Avon!? They are delighted to help plan the most important day of your life.
