Firstly, I can't stress how important it is to ask your photographer any/all questions that you feel are important in helping towards make your wedding supplier decisions. No question is a silly one in my books so ask away!

Photographing at Cotswold Wedding Venues | 28th March 2023

When working at any new venues, I always always make sure I complete a recce of the venue, to allow me to scout out the best spots for photographs, the best light and of course sunset spots.

I also aim to chat with staff and the venue Co-ordinators to make sure there aren’t any hidden gems I could be missing too, so hopefully that helps to put your mind at ease. 

As my job allows me to work anywhere in the world, i'm constantly gaining experience, and knowledge with every single wedding, whether than be in the Cotswold, UK or destinations further afield. The learning and evolving never stops, so when it comes to working at new locations, I'm fulled equipped to make the most of the venue, capturing your wedding day in all its glory! 

So, if this is something you originally felt was important to you, I'd always say that if you love a particular photographers style, approach, and work, as well as feeling like their personality would gel well with yours, then don't let something like whether they have photographed at your chosen venue before, get in your way.
Go for it, future you will thank you for it - I promise!  

 I completely understand that for many couples it’s a huge comfort to know if your photographer and chosen suppliers have worked at your chosen venue before, however with years of on the day knowledge, expertise and experience behind me, I am able to work anywhere to the same high standard at any chosen venue, due to having worked at so many differing incredible venues throughout my career so far. 

As there are hundreds of fantastic venue options for you to choose from, it's unlikely that i'll have worked at every single one, due to the volume of venues out there. If I haven’t photographed at your chosen venue yet, it’s most likely to have been on my radar, and I would love the opportunity to capture your wedding celebrations at somewhere new and exciting.
