Sudeley Castle Wedding Inspiration: A Wedding Photography Workshop in the Cotswolds

Cotswolds Wedding Inspiration - Sudeley Castle

In February of last year, I had the opportunity to attend a Photography Workshop (Lark Workshops) hosted by planner, Rebbeca Marie. I didn’t know what to expect, but it truly was worth its weight in gold!

Sudeley Castle

A photography workshop is a way to practise photography without the time pressure of a real wedding day. It creates space to practise using light, composition and shot variety so you can bring those skills to a wedding day. It also provides an opportunity to work with some of the best suppliers in the industry and capture styling details which are truly beautiful.

I like to go into workshops with the same approach I take with real weddings. My wedding galleries are about telling a story, so just like in a film where you open on an establishing shot to set the scene, I start with the venue, in this case, a shot of Sudeley Castle itself. Throughout the day, I focused on all the elements which build a wider picture.

Tammy wore a drop waist dress of my dreams by @jeanjacksoncouture, one of my favourite bridal wear suppliers. Jean Jackson Couture specialises in romantic, modern bridal wear, with collections from Rue de Siene, Aesling and Saint Bride.

Sudeley Castle

Sudeley Castle is a stunning historic gem in the heart of the Cotswolds, near the medieval market town of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. It’s a Grade I listed castle, surrounded by 1,200 acres of countryside and features 10 beautifully designed gardens. I especially loved St Mary’s Chapel (built in 1070).
