Sopwell House Wedding Photographer

A hidden haven in the heart of St Albans

Just a stone’s throw from London and nestled in 12 acres of tranquil gardens, Sopwell House is a wedding venue that blends elegant Georgian architecture with contemporary luxury. A former country retreat for nobility, it now plays host to stylish and romantic celebrations, full of charm, comfort and considered detail.

As a Sopwell House wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of documenting weddings that feel intimate, timeless, and full of natural beauty, all in one setting.

What I love most about photographing at Sopwell House

What I love most about photographing at Sopwell House is the variety – open lawns, quiet courtyards, stylish interiors and hidden corners that change beautifully with the light. It’s a venue that works with you creatively.

  • Bridal prep often takes place in the luxury Mews Suites – bright, private and ideal for those candid, early moments.
  • Portraits in the gardens are soft, romantic and unhurried – there’s no rush, no fuss, just time together in beautiful surroundings.

There’s a natural rhythm to the day here, relaxed, elegant, and perfectly framed for storytelling.
