Why I Love Scouting Berkshire Wedding Venues (Featuring The Manor of Hurst)

Venues, Weddings

Whenever possible, I like to visit your Berkshire wedding venue before the big day. This is especially true when I get to explore a spectacular hidden gem like The Manor of Hurst in Hurst.

While photographing over 550 weddings across Berkshire and beyond has taught me how to find the perfect light anywhere, a venue scouting trip adds an extra layer of magic to your wedding photography gallery.

Chasing the Best Light at Your Berkshire Wedding Venue

I get to map out your couple portrait locations against the stunning 16th-century Elizabethan mansion house at The Manor of Hurst. Did you know it was built for Henry VIII’s treasurer?

I carefully track how the sun moves across the 40 acres of private parkland, finding those secret, sun-drenched garden paths that make your Berkshire wedding portraits look straight out of a fairytale.

Rain or Shine Wedding Planning in Berkshire

I use this time to sort out the logistics of your wedding photography. I explore the beautiful tree-lined walk from St Nicholas Church, plan marquee placement on the manicured lawns, and secure elegant indoor photo locations, so we’re fully prepared for whatever the UK weather brings on your Berkshire wedding day.

More Time with Your Guests on Your Wedding Day

Because I already know exactly where the best backdrops are at your Berkshire wedding venue, we won’t waste a single second figuring things out on the day. Less staging means more time for you to relax, sip champagne by the pool, and enjoy your guests.

For my couples, it simply means complete peace of mind. You can relax knowing the planning is done, the photography timeline is ready, and your wedding story is in safe hands.

As a Berkshire wedding photographer, this is one of my favourite times of year for wedding photography. Spring brings a fresh, romantic feel to every moment from soft natural light to delicate seasonal blooms such as daffodils and cherry blossom. It creates...

Annabel was a great photographer at our wedding – she was not only on time (key for all of those early “getting-ready” snaps that us girls love), but she also made everyone feel so at ease throughout the day!

From the first moment we spoke to her we knew we were in good hands. The best part was that Annabel sent us a checklist of things that we should think about before we had even booked our venue (!) – the list was not only helpful in picking out what style of photos we wanted, but it pretty much helped us arrange the whole wedding day and allowed us to think about all of those little touches! I would highly recommend Annabel if you are looking for a professional, easy going and friendly photographer to take those special moment photos during your day that you don’t even notice are being taken. Thank you Annabel – we absolutely love our photos”.
