A romantic countryside escape tucked away in the Welsh borders, Garthmyl Hall is one of the most stylish and character-filled wedding venues in Powys – and just a stone’s throw from Shropshire. As a Garthmyl Hall wedding photographer who’s photographed real weddings, boudoir sessions, and branding shoots here, I know this venue inside and out. And let me tell you: it’s a dream to photograph.
From its lovingly restored Georgian interiors to the whimsical walled garden, Garthmyl Hall offers a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for joyful, heartfelt celebrations.
Why Garthmyl Hall is a Dream Wedding Venue
A House Full of Heart (and Natural Light)
The interiors at Garthmyl Hall are pure magic — think tall windows, antique mirrors, and colour-drenched rooms filled with personality. There’s a richness to the light here that makes portraits feel timeless and elevated, especially during morning prep or golden hour strolls through the house.
Every room has its own story, which means your gallery ends up feeling uniquely yours, not cookie-cutter.
Gardens Made for Saying “I Do”
If you’re dreaming of an outdoor ceremony, the Walled Garden at Garthmyl Hall is the kind of place that feels straight out of a romantic novel. Ivy-covered walls, seasonal blooms, and birdsong set the scene — your guests will be swooning before you even walk down the aisle.
Overnight Elegance: The Bedrooms
I’ve hosted luxury boudoir sessions in the bedrooms of Garthmyl Hall, and they’re as stunning as they are intimate. These spaces are perfect for morning prep — flooded with soft natural light and decorated with vintage flair. Every little detail has been thought through, which means your getting-ready photos feel calm, elegant, and true to you.
There’s also ample on-site accommodation for guests, keeping everything effortlessly contained for a full weekend of celebration.
Real Weddings at Garthmyl Hall
Carrie and Callum’s elegant winter wedding at Garthmyl Hall was a heartfelt celebration filled with emotion, laughter, and so many joyful moments. From cosy candlelit vows to a packed dance floor under the twinkle lights, their day had everything and this venue brought it all to life beautifully.
Here’s what Carrie and Callum had to say:
“Thank you so much Laura! We spent about 2 and a half hours going through all the photos last night with our family, even had aunty and uncle pop round for a party. They are AMAZING! You captured every moment, it was so lovely to see all the background pictures…it’s a nice balance of emotional and HILARIOUS! I can’t believe there are so many! How many photos did you start with??? I’m so happy to have so many, it will be hard to pick but we’ll just have to choose a lot I think… we might have a wall dedicated to the wedding!”

Real Wedding Photography, not Styled Shoots
If you’d like to see how a full celebration comes together, head to Real Weddings. Every photograph across my website was taken at a real wedding. On the rare occasion I share a styled shoot, I’ll say so. Styled shoots set the scene; weddings unfold, so expectations (and timings) are vastly different. If you can both picture yourselves within my work, get in touch.
