Hotel Endsleigh Wedding Photographer
A Grade I listed former hunting lodge in 108 acres of woodland and gardens in the Tamar Valley. Relaxed, documentary photography, £2,000 all in.
A note on the photos: I have not photographed a wedding at Hotel Endsleigh yet, so as your Hotel Endsleigh wedding photographer I am showing pictures from other weddings of mine. When I photograph one here, they will be replaced.
What a Hotel Endsleigh wedding photographer is working with
Hotel Endsleigh sits in the Tamar Valley near Tavistock, on the Devon and Cornwall border. It was built as a hunting lodge for the Duke and Duchess of Bedford and is now a Grade I listed hotel in 108 acres of woodland, with gardens, follies and grottoes.
It hosts everything from elopements to exclusive-use weddings of up to around 180 with a marquee, and the nineteen bedrooms make it easy to turn the wedding into a weekend.
Woodland, follies and the river below: a proper fairytale setting.
Photographing a Hotel Endsleigh wedding
The gardens and woods are made for wandering, with paths, follies and views down to the river. A short walk away from the party is enough to find somewhere quiet.
Inside, the house is relaxed and full of character, with lovely window light for the morning.

How I photograph a Hotel Endsleigh wedding
Hotel Endsleigh is all woodland, follies and paths down towards the river. A Hotel Endsleigh wedding photographer should be happy to wander a little, because the best corners here are a few minutes from the house.
As your Hotel Endsleigh wedding photographer I plan portraits a little before sunset, since the valley loses the light earlier than open ground, and photograph the house’s relaxed rooms for the morning and the meal.

Planning your Hotel Endsleigh wedding photography
The valley can lose the sun earlier than open ground, so plan portraits a little before sunset. For a two-day exclusive use wedding, the arrival day is great for relaxed photos too.

What a £2,000 Hotel Endsleigh wedding photographer covers
From an elopement to exclusive use, covered for one price.
Straight answers
From an elopement for two up to around 180 for exclusive use with a marquee.
Yes, there are nineteen bedrooms and suites, and exclusive use weddings often run over two days.
£2,000 all in: unlimited hours, 800+ edited images, 100+ previews the next morning, drone where permitted and a private online gallery. UK travel is included, so there is no travel charge for Devon.
Not unless you want to. Most of the day I simply photograph what happens. I help with the family photos and a couple of short portrait walks, and that is as posed as it gets.
