While you might spend a considerable amount of time choosing your favourite wedding photographer, have you thought about the particular images you would like him or her to capture?
Luckily, at Wasing Park, photographers tend to run out of time before they run out of beautiful locations! We hope this list of our top spots for photo opportunities might offer a little inspiration.
Photographers are often led by the lighting conditions. The tree-lined driveway can provide a stunning environment for photographs throughout the year.

Wedding preparation shots can capture so many emotions. Whether it’s in The Stables Lodge where the bridal party are getting ready or one of the Old Estate Rooms where the groomsmen are trying to keep the groom calm, these quirky spaces are the perfect backdrops to capture these special pre-ceremony moments.

If you choose to have a religious ceremony, be sure to capture St Nicholas Church in your photographs, both inside and out.

For your civil ceremony, the light-filled Garden Room is a dream for photographers, particularly when you walk up and down the aisle with the gardens in the background.

Don’t forget the details, from pretty floral decorations in the Garden Room to your décor in the Castle Barn.
An outdoor ceremony in the Victorian Summerhouse lends itself to some dreamy photographs. Try to capture its beautiful mural interior.

Welcome drinks on the lawn gives your photographer an opportunity for some relaxed group shots.
When it comes to your couple shots, take a walk around the gardens and capture the ever-changing colours dictated by the seasons. In the spring, the blossom trees look stunning in front of the church, the Smithy and the Dovecote. In the autumn, the gardens are filled with warm, autumn hues. If you’re marrying in the winter months, be sure to have a wrap or shawl so you can enjoy some beautiful outdoor shots – we love Wasing Park when there is a frost!
Moving in to the Castle Barn, be sure to capture the natural joy, emotion or horror(!) of your wedding speeches.
And finally, you’ll want to remember your fabulous evening celebration. Make sure to speak to your photographer about snapping some great (and possibly embarrassing!) dance floor photographs.
