Waddesdon Manor Wedding Photography

The Waddesdon Manor Estate have recommended me as one of their preferred wedding photographers for the past 16 years. You can choose from three options for your wedding:  The Five Arrows, The Dairy or at Waddesdon Manor itself. Each one offers something unique and truly magical.

History of Waddesdon Manor

Waddesdon Manor’s vast estate sits in the stunningly beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside. Many regard it as one of Britain’s finest stately homes. If you’re looking for the ultimate wow factor, wedding venues do not get much better or grander than Waddesdon Manor. Combined with their renowned hospitality and exquisite food and wine, you really can’t better this most enchanting setting.

Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild built Waddesdon Manor in the later part of the 19th Century, to house his incredible collection of art.

Ferdinand chose the style of a Renaissance French Chateau from the Loire Valley. So, he engaged the highly respected architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. The land purchase, design, build, labour and furnishing costs totalled in the region of £2 million. In fact, hundreds of stone masons, artisans, landscape gardeners and builders worked on the estate during its construction.

Visitors to Ferdinand’s new weekend retreat included Queen Victoria, politicians and literary figures; he was renowned for his most exceptional banquets and parties. The Rothschilds had built a number of grand properties in the local area, and as a result the Vale of Aylesbury was known to many as Rothschildshire.

Photographing weddings at Waddesdon Manor

There are just so many stunning backdrops for your wedding photographs at each of the venues on the estate.  I hope my galleries give you an insight as to the many options available. You can see many more of my pictures on the wedding websites for Waddesdon Manor, The Dairy and The Five Arrows. Also, you can browse through my display albums if you decide to do a Waddesdon site visit for your wedding.

Over the past 15 years I’ve attended over 200 weddings on the estate. In fact, it has become like a second home to me during my career.
