A riverside setting close to the centre of Oxford makes for a tranquil meal either inside the restaurant or on the beautiful terrace. Punting is optional but would certainly give some great photographs. The relaxed and intimate setting works well both summer and winter and for large or small receptions.

A totally secluded and private residence with spectacular barns for the ceremony and partying, and pretty courtyard for your post-ceremony drinks. Many lovely locations for all your photographic requirements. The valley setting is so romantic and relaxing. We enjoyed photographing a wedding at the venue in September 2005, the highlights of which were photographs inside the glorious Manor House and a Barn Dance in the evening.

A gorgeous National Trust house with Gunpowder Plot associations. Very dramatic rooms for your ceremony and reception, though there are also two churches for those who prefer a religious ceremony. The stunning gardens, both formal and informal, where you will be able to have exclusive access for photographs, have a truly regal feel.Daykin Photography photographed a Wedding at Coughton Court on 5th August 2006.
