Berkeley Castle Wedding Photography – Where It All Began

How It Started - Berkeley Castle Wedding Photography

One of the first weddings I ever brought my camera to was my friend’s celebration at the breathtaking Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. I wasn’t the official photographer—just a guest, supporting a friend and soaking up the atmosphere of the day.

I asked if I could bring my camera along and take a few quiet photos in the evening—nothing formal, just a few frames from the reception. I didn’t photograph the ceremony or most of the day, but what I did capture stayed with me.

There was something about the energy in the room, the beauty of the castle, and the emotion of the day that really moved me. I think that night was the first time I realised how powerful it is to tell a wedding story through photographs—and how much I wanted to do more of it.

Throughout this post, you’ll see a few of the moments I captured that evening—images that, while simple, represent the beginning of something incredibly meaningful for me.

Why Berkeley Castle Is So Special

If you’re planning a wedding at Berkeley Castle, you’re choosing one of the most romantic and historic venues in the UK. Nestled in the Gloucestershire countryside, Berkeley Castle is known for its incredible architecture, candlelit Great Hall, stained-glass windows, and unforgettable views.

Even though I only captured a small part of the day, being there reminded me just how magical Berkeley Castle weddingscan be. There’s a timelessness and richness to the space that makes it an extraordinary backdrop for emotional, elegant wedding photography.

As a photographer, I’m always drawn to spaces that have atmosphere—and Berkeley Castle has it in every room. From a visual perspective, it’s a dream to photograph: the dramatic stonework, soft window light, and rich textures all create an unforgettable setting for elegant wedding images.

Whether you’re planning a full-scale celebration or a more intimate gathering, this venue offers something truly unique for couples who want a wedding day that feels luxurious, authentic, and full of heart.

From That Night to Now

Since that day whereI had the opportunity to capture Berkeley Castle Wedding Photography, I’ve photographed weddings across the UK—from elegant micro-weddings in London to luxury marquee celebrations and grand country house venues. But this evening at Berkeley Castle will always be where it started.
