I always loved returning to be an Aldwick Estate wedding photographer. A beautiful vineyard estate wedding venue situated in the heart of the Somerset countryside. And as a Bristol wedding photographer, this stunning award-winning wedding venue is just a stone’s throw away.
Aldwick Estate is overlooked by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty amidst the rolling Mendip Hills. This working Somerset Vineyard makes a truly unique and stunning setting for weddings. Perfectly situated it offers easy access to the M4/M5 corridor, Bristol (including the airport) Bath and the South West and has ample parking.
Spacious and adaptable, their two beautifully converted stone barns are connected by an oak-floored reception space. Creating a very pleasing flow for weddings. Both barns have neutral décor allowing you to add your flowers and decorations to suit your tastes. This blend of old and new means you get a truly versatile space that subtly blends rustic charm and modern facilities in a truly idyllic setting.
One of the many things I love about capturing wedding photography at Aldwick Estate is that they offer exclusive use which combined with its secluded location makes couples and their guests feel like they’ve stepped away from it all. It relaxes everybody and relaxed couples and guests make for better wedding photos!
When I capture wedding photography at Aldwick Estate, my day usually starts in the Forge, a luxurious and spacious one-bedroom lodge apartment which makes the perfect location for the wedding party to get ready, and for me to take those all-important morning wedding images. From there it’s just a few steps to the ceremony.
Indoor ceremonies are held in the Old Barn which can accommodate up to 150 guests for a civil ceremony or blessing. Following your service, you can flow out onto the terrace for an elegant drinks and canapes reception.
Outdoor ceremonies are held in the vineyard with the backdrop of the vines and the glorious Somerset countryside providing a picture-perfect setting.
Wedding breakfasts are held in The New Barn which has exposed timber beams, and a cosy brick-built bar that creates a welcoming vibe. It also has beautiful views across the grounds, vineyard and countryside beyond. It can accommodate 160 seated and up to 220 guests for an evening reception.
When I capture wedding photography at Aldwick Estate, I love the fact that the new barn has rows of large windows that throw in tons of natural light, that I play with to create even more beautiful images. The New Barn can accommodate up to 150 seated guests and is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal.
