Elegant celebrations, captured effortlessly
There’s something about Davenport House that feels like stepping into a classic love story (“it’s a love story baby just say yes!”) with a modern, stylish twist. Nestled in the rolling Shropshire countryside, this Grade I-listed Georgian house is one of my all time favourite venues to photograph. The setting is exclusive, timeless, and incredibly welcoming. A true dream for couples who want a day that feels both beautiful and relaxed.
As a wedding photographer drawn to emotion, light, and connection, Davenport House offers the kind of backdrops to make your story shine…effortlessly.
Where Your Story Begins: The Great Hall
With its sweeping staircase, grand double doors, and high ceilings, the Great Hall sets the stage for a ceremony full of romance. Whether you choose to glide down the aisle through the double front doors or descend from the staircase, your entrance will be unforgettable. The light in this room is soft and luminous, perfect for capturing candid, emotional vows in an elegant setting.
The Saloon Room
This is a fabulous space for couple portraits. With floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrored walls that reflect the afternoon light, the Saloon Room is both iconic and intimate. It’s where I love to guide couples into those quiet, romantic moments together for you to realise you’re actually married. Producing stunning photos with the most incredible dramatic light.
The Dining Room
The Dining Room is often, you guessed it, the setting for the wedding breakfast. A beautiful, high-ceilinged space with original features and framed artwork that makes every photo feel editorial. The mirrors bounce light around the room, giving everything a soft, luxurious glow. I often steal couples away for a few relaxed portraits here when you first see the room styled and ready to welcome your guests in, it’s the perfect pause before dinner and speeches begin.
Celebrations on the Lawn
There’s nothing quite like a Davenport House relaxed reception on the lawn with those Shropshire countryside views. With views stretching for miles, it’s the perfect spot for drinks, garden games, golden hour hugs with your favourite people and saying ‘hi’ to the local cows. IYKYK. The house provides a stunning backdrop, and the entire setting feels like a little escape from the world. Timeless, joyful, and more than just a little bit special.
Why Davenport House Couples Are My Kind of People
It’s no surprise Davenport House draws couples from across the UK. If you love a countryside setting with refined charm, beautiful light, and the kind of atmosphere that lets you relax and be fully present, it’s the one. I’ve photographed elegant spring weddings, golden autumn celebrations, and each time I’m struck by how personal and meaningful wedding days feel here.
