Hesdor House is an exclusive wedding venue located in Taplow, Buckinghamshire. We were proud to be a part of their recent open day and wedding fair!

Set amongst 85 private acres of some of Buckinghamshire’s finest landscaped gardens and parklands with views across the Thames Valley, Hedsor House is superbly located for your very special day!

With private drives front and back, the venue also benefits from a high degree of privacy  ensuring your exclusive event remains truly exclusive!

The House itself is truly stunning and features Palladian Hall complete with spectacular glass dome overhead and a beautiful balcony overlooking the hall below, perfect for a string quartet!
It manages to pull off a fantastic trick by being both a beautiful grand venue with space to swallow all but the biggest weddings but also a very warm and welcoming venue to host your special day!

Hedsor House is licensed to perform civil ceremonies but also offers the benefit of allowing blessings in the beautiful 12^th century Church within the grounds (subject to the Vicar’s agreement). This traditional touch ticks yet another box for this stunning wedding venue!

The ballroom features gorgeous period oak panelling giving this room real character. It manages to feel warm and bright given the high ceilings and large windows overlooking some of the beautiful grounds! For the warmer months, it is possible for your wedding party to spill out onto the lawns and into the landscaped gardens which really maximises the potential of this fantastic wedding venue. The ballroom at Hedsor House can comfortably seat and cater to 150 wedding guests.
Given that you have exclusive use of the entire house and grounds for the day (and night!) you have the benefit of total freedom to supply your own caterers or select from the extensive list of recommended (and exquisite!) suppliers. This freedom is such a welcome breathe of fresh air and allows you to really go to town and select your own theme and décor for your wedding, creating a wedding totally bespoke to your own taste! Every wedding is unique, but now your venue can be too…fantastic!

Those of you planning larger weddings will be pleased to know that Hedsor House venue caters extremely well for big numbers. Their main car park alone has spaces for 120 cars and the grounds are suitable for helicopters for the more extravagant guests!

The venue has played host to a number of interesting events, from the Top Shop Summers Ball with over 1000 guests to Mark Ronsons Birthday Party, with plenty of celebs in tow!

In addition to its ability to host some grand parties & events, Hedsor House has also featured on film a number of times, from the grand scale Golden Compass & a number of period drama’s through to BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, where the guests stayed and practiced in the ballroom after the crew had converted it into a dance studio!

The beautiful gardens of Hedsor House offer a fantastic setting for a grand marquee or two!
This allows your guests to spend longer outside and fully appreciate the stunning beauty of the Hedsor House grounds.
These feature everything from open grassland & fields, through the stunning sea of daffodils and bluebells, the mature oak and beech woodland, the beautiful Rhododendron walks and Lime Avenue to the lake, the Highland cattle and (for the explorers) the mysterious ruined cottage in the woods!
There is so much to see and do here, we haven’t even mentioned the croquet lawn, the tennis courts, the sunken garden or the beautiful topiary hedge work!

Hedsor House is superbly located near The National Trust Cliveden Estate and can be easily reached by car as it is only 3.5miles to either the M40 (junction 2) or M4 (junction 7) and therefore close to Heathrow.

Congratulations to Sam & Adam who were married on Friday on a beautiful (but cold!) February afternoon at the gorgeous Rivervale Barn.

Sam looked amazing and Adam was visibly taken with his bride. They were an absolute joy to work with, all smiles all day!

Despite the time of year, the weather was kind enough to let us photograph outside in Rivervale Barns fantastic gardens. Sam had planned ahead and even brought some colour co-ordinated wellies to ensure that nothing stopped them from enjoying the grounds! Good on you!

Just as we finished with the couple shots, the weather turned and decided to sleet, so we couldn’t miss the opportunity to have a giggle and catch a brolley shot!

Another highlight of the day, was the surprise entertainment… just after the main meal had been cleared away the ‘toastmaster’ broke out into full blown opera song! He really was incredible, all the guests commented on how he gave them tingles and fully deserved the standing ovation! What a fantastic surprise for the wedding guests!

It was a hugely enjoyable day and great to see everyone getting into the party mood with the live band long into the night!

We wish both Sam & Adam all the best for their future together and hope they have an amazing honeymoon!

Here are a few pictures from their special day…

On Saturday we photographed our friends newborn baby Josh.

At just five weeks he has already changed so much from when we last saw him! We managed to capture some beautiful newborn shots and captured some cheeky glances from little Josh who is absolutely gorgeous!

His big bro joined in too giving us the opportunity to get a few of those normally tricky shots of both kiddies together that all parents want! They were both fantastic!

It was great to do something a little bit different from our norm and what better way to congratulate Mummy and Daddy than by giving them some photos to treasure!

We can’t wait to photograph the next stage of Josh’s development and see how much he changes.

Enjoy!
