If you’re planning your wedding at Donnington & Co Weddings (formerly Donnington Valley) in the heart of Berkshire, you’ve chosen a venue filled with charm, elegance, and newly refreshed spaces that beautifully complement a modern wedding celebration. I recently had the pleasure of capturing the happy day of Megan & Joe.
Why Choose Annabel Farley Photography for Weddings at Donnington & Co
As an experienced wedding photographer in Berkshire, I’m passionate about creating romantic, meaningful imagery that reflects both your love story and the character of this stunning venue.
Recently, Donnington & Co underwent a thoughtful refurbishment, elevating its interiors while preserving its warm, welcoming atmosphere. The entrance, reception, bar and restaurant areas now feature contemporary design touches, including soft gold and copper accents, warmer tones and a brighter, more modern layout. These renewed spaces offer wonderful photographic opportunities, from refined indoor portraits to stylish detail shots.
The restaurant’s striking central banquet table creates a gorgeous focal point for evening photography, while the refurbished lobby and bar area provide elegant backdrops for candid moments and pre-reception portraits. Outdoors, the venue’s well-loved terraces and surrounding parkland remain beautifully photogenic, offering lush, natural scenery ideal for couple portraits and relaxed group shots.
The Greens Suite, with its terrace and views over the landscaped grounds, continues to be a popular choice for intimate ceremonies and provides soft natural light that works perfectly for wedding photography. Whereas The Cromwell suite is perfect for larger weddings and can accommodate a live band or entertainment, with plenty of room for dancing and throwing the bouquet!
