I am always excited when I have an opportunity to work as a Crowcombe Court wedding photographer. As a Somerset wedding photographer, I get to capture wedding photography at the finest wedding venues in the county. And this is never more so the case, than when I get to capture wedding photography at Crowcombe Court. I am so proud to be a recommended supplier for this premier South West wedding venue.
Crowcombe Court is a magnificent Grade I listed Georgian Manor House built in 1739. It was built as a statement of wealth so no expense was spared on its lavish interiors and enchanting gardens. Making it an ideal location for an elegant wedding today. Situated just outside Taunton in Somerset, it sits in 7 acres of beautiful gardens and enjoys unrivalled views across the Quantock Hills. Fancy a photo session overlooking The Bristol Channel on your wedding day?
When I capture wedding photography at Crowcombe Court, I love the fact that guests have exclusive use of this magnificent house. Allowing guests to explore the rooms and relax. And relaxed guests make for even better wedding photos!
Wedding days at Crowcombe Court always start for me in their getting-ready room. This exclusive haven gives the wedding parties the perfect place to get ready. The helpful staff at Crowcombe Court even offer brunch and a bit of bubbly while you get ready. Light and spacious, it has four (yes count them four!) hair and make-up stations. So, there’s plenty of room for the wedding party as well as a hair stylist, a make-up artist and of course me, the most unobtrusive wedding photographer in Somerset, there to capture that all-important morning of the wedding images.
For wedding ceremonies, Crowcombe Court offers three separate ceremony spaces that are licensed to host civil ceremonies. The largest of these spaces is the Great Hall. This impressive room has exquisite period features like beautiful plasterwork walls and ceiling, a period chandelier, a feature fireplace and a beautiful marble pattern floor. You make your entrance by descending the oak staircase and make your way down the aisle to say your vows in front of French doors that open out onto the garden.
The room is flooded with tons of natural light (we Crowcombe Court wedding photographers can never have too much natural light) that I play with to create even more beautiful images. The Great Hall can accommodate 100 guests seated and 150 standing for a drinks reception or evening celebration.
For smaller weddings, the Carew Room is ideal. This beautiful room has gorgeous oak panelled walls in a soft muted green, a chandeliered ceiling and an original oak floor. Ceiling-to-floor period windows flood the space with tons of natural light. It’s perfect for a smaller wedding ceremony and proves that you don’t have to sacrifice grandeur at a more intimate celebration. The Carew Room can accommodate up to 40 guests seated and 60 standing.
If you’d prefer an outdoor ceremony, you can get married on the manicured lawns outside in front of the house. Say your vows in front of a pretty arbour with your guests seated on the lawn. It’s an idyllic setting with a quintessential English country house vibe. And if the weather doesn’t behave. The team at Crowcombe Court always have an indoor option ready and waiting!
One of the many things I love about capturing wedding photography at Crowcombe Court are the gardens, they’re the perfect place to get romantic portrait images of my couples. And I am spoilt for choice when it comes to beautiful backdrops for their wedding photos.
