Located just outside Leatherhead, Fetcham Park is a beautiful Grade II listed Queen Anne-style mansion. It is steeped in grandeur and history. Today, it serves as a meeting and event space. This venue offers everything you could ask for in a wedding. Both the interior and exterior settings are exquisite, plus it’s conveniently located and completely private.
The Allure of Fetcham Park for Photographers
This venue is truly one of the best for variety in wedding photos. The options for stunning backdrops are immense. I still have locations here that I haven't had a chance to photograph, which makes each visit exciting!
From elegant and pretty to Downton Abbey-style opulence, Fetcham Park offers it all. There is ample space for wide shots of the entire wedding party, along with perfect spots for intimate couple-only portraits. The large windows provide plenty of natural light, ensuring the most flattering and timeless shots.
Capture the Best Moments at Fetcham Park
Romantic Shots in the French Gardens
The gardens at Fetcham Park are superb. If you have the fortune of sunshine on your special day, outdoor photos are a must. Manicured shrubs, beautiful water features, and elegant statues create a fantastic backdrop.
A Stunning Entrance on the Grand Staircase
If you want dramatic photos showcasing your dress or have a grand entrance to your guests, the dark wood sweeping staircase is ideal. This setting adds an air of sophistication to your wedding memories.
Sparkling Celebrations in The Salon
If you hold your wedding breakfast here, expect stunning portraits. Even before decorations, the room delights with gold leaf walls, a massive chandelier, and an ornately painted ceiling.
Playing Lord and Lady of the Manor
This fountain, located near the entrance, is a must for couple shots. With the fountain and manor house in the background, you have a chance to create beautiful memories, whether you play it fun or keep it elegantly simple.
My last Fetcham Park wedding was for Zee and Fred. They had a beautiful winter wedding in December. Their ceremony and reception took place in different event rooms, allowing us to fully exploit the stunning venue.
Tips for Perfect Wedding Photos at Fetcham Park
Your wedding day will fly by and may feel like a blur by the end. Here are some top tips for getting the most out of your day and your photos:
Make the Most of the Space: Familiarize yourself with the venue. Discuss with your photographer the different areas you wish to capture. If you choose Fetcham Park, utilize its rich settings for both formal and casual shots.
Treasure the Quiet Moments: After the ceremony, take a moment for just the two of you. Enjoy this time away from the crowd and let your photographer capture these intimate moments.
Be Prepared for Weather: You know that British weather can be unpredictable. Be ready for changes and allow your photographer to think creatively if it rains. Indoor settings at Fetcham Park are still exquisite for photos. If garden shots are a must, consider big umbrellas to stay dry.
