Burntwood Court Hotel wedding photography: as authentic moments become timeless conversations and artistic memories

My favourite features of Burntwood Court are the chapel and the bride's getting ready room. The rooms offers plenty of scope for wedding photographs of the bride and bridesmaids getting ready. Here I am able to use the mirrors and depth of the room to create interesting compositions as you get ready for your big day! As a photographer whom design and art have continually featured throughout my life, as a student, through my teaching career and now, more importantly, as a working professional wedding photographer. The design, space and style of the bridal suite is perfect for my style of photography. The chapel is fantastic for storytelling as I am able to cature the expressions and emotions of your guests. Later, the chapel is an amazing place to direct you for bride and groom portraits.
