Elmore Is A Photographers And Filmmakers Playground

Elmore Court is a dream venue for photographers and videographers. With stunning grounds and a beautiful Manor house, it offers the perfect creative playground for photography. 

"Elmore is an iconic wedding venue and one I absolutely love shooting at. I just love how every wedding here is so different and how easily every couple can put their own stamp on it and it look 10/10 every time. The light just hits differently at Elmore and for all the right reasons too. To pick a favourite location for photos here is impossible as every corner will give you something so different yet so beautiful and what would be my favourite in autumn may not be my favourite in summer. It is so easy to be creative here too! It is by far my favourite venue! “ - Antonia Grace Photography 

The Devil's In The Detail

Weddings are about so many different elements – it’s the thoughtful details that really make your day unique. 

If you're going for a refined editorial style for your wedding shoot, be sure to bring along your invitations, save-the-dates, order of service, and any other paper goods you've carefully chosen. These items don’t just add a personal touch they also make for beautiful, timeless shots during your morning preparations.

We’ve already touched on the delight of stunning portraits and shared a sneak peek at how the little details can elevate the look and feel of your day. To bring your vision to life, we can recommend suppliers who can transform your styling dreams into reality.

"At Elmore, weddings are nothing short of spectacular, filled with love, friendship, and joy. When guests are relaxed and the atmosphere is easy, the celebration naturally unfolds, and the photos? They write themselves. With every genuine moment captured, the day’s true essence shines through and I love this" - Eve Dunlop Photography 

Magical light

The single most important factor for your wedding photographer to capture the best shots is the lighting! Well you'll be pleased to hear, we have the most magical lighting throughout the house!

Whether it's the breathtaking Hall or the enchanting Gilly Flower, all of the Court's stunning outdoor spaces and indoor areas provide countless opportunities for creative photography.

"The better the light the better the piccies. If I say the lights banging trust me. Get in it and have fun!" - James Fear 

The Best Bits

Vibe is everything. Yes, the location is stunning, but it’s the energy and moments that make your day unforgettable. Whether you're keeping it chilled and relaxed or turning up the fun, every wedding here has it's own magic. Your photographer or videographer will be there to capture all those special moments, so just relax, enjoy the ride, and let the day unfold naturally. It’s all about creating memories, and we’ve got the perfect backdrop for that.

"I absolutely love working at Elmore court, one of my personal highlights at Elmore is the transition to the Gillyflower, the gong is struck and it’s time to move to the venue’s beautiful and eco-friendly reception space. I love capturing guests making their way across – the reception drinks have landed and everyone is in high spirits and getting ready to party. A tip from myself for couples is to pause and stay back for a moment after your guests have been announced into the Gillyflower. Whether you’re with just your partner or your entire bridal party, this is the perfect time to enjoy a celebratory drink together. It’s also a wonderful chance to snap some spontaneous, joyful photos with your partner or as a bridal group whilst the excitement builds for your Gillyflower entrance—setting the tone for a night filled with dancing and celebration" - John Taylor Films 

"The beauty of Elmore is that each and every couple can be themselves, express themselves in any way they see fit. I’ve seen drag queens, fire breathers, meerkats, numerous family dance-offs, oompah bands, breakdancers even a McLaren 720 parked in the middle of the Gillyflower, but I’ve also seen quiet, intimate celebrations.  Just enjoy every minute of the journey and look forward to the tingle that every bride, groom, guest and wedding supplier experiences when they turn off the main road onto the driveway and catches a glimpse of the grand old house looking back at them." - Rob Tarren
