I was so thrilled to spend a wintery afternoon with Talia & Rob at their wedding venue, Warwick Castle, in January 2026 ahead of their Spring 2027 wedding. We had exclusive access to the castle and grounds and were accompanied by a brilliant concierge who shared genuinely fascinating stories about the castle’s history. It added so much context and made the whole experience feel even more special. This is such a special venue for Talia & Rob because they actually got engaged here a few months ago when Rob arranged an overnight stay in one of the two rooms.

If you’re planning a wedding here and searching for a Warwick Castle wedding photographer, this venue is an absolute dream. It’s dramatic without being stuffy, historic without feeling dark, and I was inspired in every direction I turned, there really is not a bad corner for a photo!

Why Warwick Castle is such an incredible wedding venue

The history (obviously)

Warwick Castle has over 1,100 years of history. From grand stone staircases to medieval towers and state rooms, it offers a sense of occasion that very few venues can match. For wedding photography, that means your images feel timeless rather than trend-led. I love the jail cell turned bed and breakfast rooms you can really stay in!

You can fly your own flag

Yes, really. Couples can fly a personalised flag from the castle towers on their wedding day. The conceirge told us that the last wedding had their favourite football team flag flying. I've been thinking about what I'd have, maybe make my own coat of arms, or a jolly roger for fun!

Endless photo opportunities

From the Great Hall and conservatory to the grounds, towers and hidden corners, Warwick Castle offers a million photographic options. As a Warwick Castle wedding photographer, I love that you can create a huge variety of images without needing to travel anywhere else on the day.

Customisable lighting at night

The castle ditch lighting can be changed to suit your colour palette, meaning your evening images can feel completely bespoke. After dark, the castle transforms into something truly magical.

Why choose a photographer who can use flash at Warwick Castle

When couples are planning a wedding at Warwick Castle, I think it's really important to choose a photographer that knows how to work with very little light. The castle’s grand halls are breathtaking, but they’re also built for drama, atmosphere and history, not floods of natural daylight. High stone walls, small windows and candlelit interiors mean you need a Warwick Castle wedding photographer who genuinely understands light, not just someone who hopes for the best and fixes it later.

Grand spaces like the Great Hall can be deceptively tricky to photograph. The scale is vast, the ceilings are high, and the available light changes constantly as the day progresses. Without careful control, images can easily tip into muddy shadows, blown highlights or harsh on-camera flash that completely kills the mood. Knowing how to balance ambient light with off-camera flash is essential to preserve the warmth, depth and atmosphere that makes a Warwick Castle wedding so special in the first place.

I took this series of portraits using a technique called 'direct flash' this is a modern and fashion forward look and I love it! It's super quick and easy and allows for clean portraits that look polished and high end in dark rooms.

Ultimately, Warwick Castle deserves photography that matches its grandeur. Choosing a photographer who understands flash, light control and atmosphere ensures your images feel cinematic, romantic and timeless, not dark, noisy or harsh.

hi! I'm cat and i am a full time wedding photographer

(and a little bit of a photography geek!)

I started taking photos as a teenager, my Dad was a wedding photographer and I would often help him. In 2021 I left my corporate job with a dream and hope that I could make photography a full time job. Since then I have been pouring my heart and soul into this business and have been honoured to be chosen as wedding photographer for so many lovely couples as well as being a portrait and event photographer.

I TAKE CLASSIC, TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY STYLE PHOTOGRAPHS WITH MINIMAL INTRUSION

But I will step in and offer gentle guidance when it's right to do so, I have learned over the years to read the room, anticipate the next move, hold space when needed and offer support when I can.

aRE YOU LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?

When choosing a wedding photographer, consider their style, experience, portfolio, and reviews from previous clients. It's also important to discuss pricing, availability, and any specific requests you may have.

Don't forget to meet with them in person to ensure you have good chemistry and feel comfortable with their approach.

Once you have narrowed down your list of potential wedding photographers, it's a good idea to ask them some key questions to help you make your final decision.

Here are a few questions to consider:

What is your photography style? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or a more candid, documentary style?
Do you have experience with weddings of a similar size and style to mine?
Can I see a full gallery of a recent wedding you photographed? This will give you a better sense of their consistency and quality of work.
Do you have backup equipment in case something goes wrong on the day of the wedding?
How do you handle difficult lighting situations (e.g. low light, harsh sunlight, indoor vs. outdoor)? This will help you gauge their technical expertise.
What is included in your packages? Are there any additional fees I should be aware of (e.g. travel, overtime)?
How long will it take to receive my photos after the wedding? Will they be edited and retouched?
Can you accommodate any special requests I have (e.g. specific shots, family portraits)?
How do you ensure that you capture all of the important moments on the day of the wedding?

By asking these questions and having an open and honest conversation with your wedding photographer, you can ensure that you find the right fit for your big day.
