Elmore Court Wedding Photographer

If you’re planning an Elmore Court wedding, you’ll know it has that rare mix of grand, character-filled spaces and a vibe that still feels modern and fun. It’s the kind of venue that makes a weekend of it, not just a “turn up, do the thing, go home” kind of wedding.

I’m Laura, a Shropshire-based wedding photographer who travels all over the UK. I’ve photographed at Elmore Court as a second photographer, so I’m familiar with the flow of the day and the feel of the venue.

What it’s like to get married at Elmore Court

From a photography point of view, Elmore Court gives you options – which is exactly what you want on a wedding day. If it’s bright and sunny, amazing. If it’s grey or drizzly, you’re still covered because the venue has strong indoor spaces that keep everything feeling elevated.

It also suits couples who want a day that feels stylish but not staged: lots of mingling, a proper party, and enough breathing space to actually enjoy it.

My approach as your Elmore Court wedding photographer

My style is documentary-led, with gentle direction when it helps. I’ll step in to guide you for portraits (in a way that feels like you), but the rest of the day I’m looking for the real stuff: the hugs, the happy chaos, the in-between moments, and the atmosphere you’ll want to remember.

If your dream is:

  • to feel relaxed, not “performed”
  • to spend time with your people
  • to have photos that bring you straight back to how it felt

…we’ll probably be a great fit.

A small planning tip that makes a big difference here

If you can, protect a proper drinks reception. That’s where your day starts to feel like a celebration and it’s also where your photos get more natural and more story-led.

If you want a simple guide to this, I’ve written it here: Why Time Is Important on Your Wedding Day.
