The National Trust manages Stowe Landscape Gardens where there are endless opportunities for photographs in and around stunning temples, lakes and ornate buildings. By arrangement with the NT we can offer a special photoshoot e.g pre wedding, engagement, or any other idea you have for a shoot.

Has spring sprung?

Andrew February 12th, 2011

Snowdrops have appeared all over Stowe Landscape Gardens making our walk today very pleasant. Of course we cannot walk around the gardens without recalling the weddings we have photographed at the temples, School and church. We look forward to returning in somewhat warmer weather.

Hannah & Steven - Married at All Saints Church Sutton Courtenay

Andrew December 19th, 2010

Hannah & Steven certainly picked the right week to get married, as just one week later and the snow would have taken over. This man-made variety was at least more predictable!

Photographs are now online. Please contact Hannah & Steven for the password.
