Sindlesham Court in Winnersh is a Masonic Lodge that now does civil ceremonies and civil partnerships in its’ large airy chapel which is quite stunning. The inside of the building has been recently rennovated and looks beautiful, and the room used to welcome the bride and groom or same sex partners by the registrar is quite stunning. Below are a few photographs that show the inside of the wedding venue. It has a huge main hall which can take up to 250 people and still have room for a dance floor or 400 people for a sit down meal only. If you are looking for a wedding photographer as well as a stunning venue then please call me to discuss details.

What a beautiful setting for a wedding!  This Victorian era building still has many original features like high ceilings with plaster mouldings, chandaliers hanging from rosettes in the ceiling, huge fire places and wood paneling. The extensive grounds have tennis courts and football pitches and 72 acres to roam in. A wedding here is a very special event.

I exhibited at a superb wedding venue in late January, Fredricks Hotel in Maidenhead, it has a small but beautiful garden with some amazing statues in it and a swimming pool that goes outside (hence the mist in the photos) and it is very warm so you could easily swim in it. There are some great places within the property that could be used for wedding photography. The inside is very nice as well and could be good for indoor wedding photography. Take a look at the photographs below:

Had a good day at Frencham Ponds Hotel on 24th Jan 2010, what a beautiful hotel for weddings and civil ceremonies. A huge lake out the front with a small stream and a bridge to cross over for feeding the water birds. There is also a nice area round the back for photographs, a nice rural venue for a wedding or civil ceremony.

There are some beautiful spots within the grounds of Trunkwell house all very close to the house so no long treks to get some nice photographs.Below are a couple of views of the back gardens:

At Trunkwell Mansion House, Mortimer near Reading, Berskshire they have the most beautiful room they use for the civil ceremonies, a real old fashioned fireplace and classic chairs with antique oil paintings on the wall. Below is a photograph of the room.

Trunkwell Mansion House near Mortimer, Reading in Berkshire is a beautiful old country hotel with beautiful gardens and a peaceful environment.

What a super unusual venue! Milestones Museum in Basingstoke is open for wedding receptions and events. You can wander amung the exhibits to your hearts content. They even open the 1940’s pub so that you have access to beer and spirits during the evening festivities, unfortunately the prices aren’t 1940’s! There are some great places to have photographs taken, like this one outside the green grocers.

Tylney Hall is a great venue for weddings as it has so much land with so many different features which makes for varied photographs (you don’t have to have the same background all the time). There are 2 stone pergolas with stone steps leading down to them whcih can make for some very different images, see the one below:
