We work with some super talented photographers who will capture your day perfectly providing those amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
Philip Quinnell Photography
Hi! I am Phil. From a young age I was always fascinated with cameras, as I got older the more advanced the cameras became. My first camera experience was my parents Kodak Ektralite when I was 5, a simple point and shoot but I loved the long rectangle shape and cool leather case. Taking a photo was always a anti climax as all it did was click but the anticipation I felt knowing that when we went to get the film developed we would receive back frozen moments in time and I have no doubt that this is what’s always fascinated me with photography.
Stuart Dudleston Photography
Documentary wedding photographer for the most adventurous and artsy couples across the South West and worldwide. I pride myself on keeping things natural and low-key—capturing all of those little moments with a distinctive filmic style and a dollop of dramatic light. Raw emotions, candid moments, epic backdrops and a banging dance floor is my jam.
Dan Watkiss Photography
With over 10 years experience my photography tells your wedding day story creating those perfect memories for you to look back upon for so many years to come. I love capturing the special moments, allowing the day to unfold naturally. Remaining in the background photographing all the details that make your day unique, whilst my calm and friendly nature brings out the best in you and your guests for those all-important portrait shots. Having grown up locally to Chalk Barn, I have an intimate knowledge of the venue and its grounds. It is one of my favourite venues to work at for locations, light and creating stunning wedding images.
Rachel Jane Photography
When it comes to shooting your wedding, my approach and style is fairly laid-back. I like to capture your day as it unfolds, with little direction, which means you can feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. I always find it hard to put a label on myself as a wedding photographer but if I had to describe the way I shoot I would probably say I’m more of a documentary style photographer; I like to capture moments as and when they happen and tell the story of your day naturally.
Kate Ventress Photography
I adore capturing love. I want to show your connection. If you hate being in front of the camera then I am the person for you. I make you laugh and giggle to capture those genuine emotions. It's really important that you celebrate with your loved ones as it’s your wedding day and not a photoshoot so we keep things really relaxed. I want to tell your love story so when you look back on these images in years to come you are instantly transported back to the most incredible day. I am not content to be just a supplier. I want to create a meaningful experience for you and of course give you beautiful images that you will love, forever.
Sophie Jane Weddings
I rely on all those beautiful authentic moments to really capture your story. The ones that will really mean the most. So my best advice is to pretend I'm not there, Be true to yourselves. Laugh like no one is watching and happy tears are always welcome here.
Bo Leray
If you're looking for somebody who will be as excited about YOU getting married as you are - you have just found one! I'm your personal cheerleader and your guide through the wedding universe. But most of all, I have one job – to capture both of YOU on your wedding day in most authentic, relaxed way… and have some fun while doing that.
Amber Louise Photography
I can’t begin to explain how important it is for you to choose a wedding photographer who makes you feel comfortable, at ease and brings out that bellyaching laughter. If you want these qualities then I’m your gal! Not only will I make you feel comfortable, I will also interact with your family and friends as if they were my own capturing the good, the great and the “outtakes”.

Chalk Barn is a stunning wedding all year round! My husband and I got married Jan 2023 and despite the grey clouds our wedding was beautiful because of Chalk Barn’s location and venue style. The wedding coordinators (Lincoln & Tracy) were amazing from the beginning! They are a ‘yes’ venue - everything we asked for, they catered for! I would choose Chalk Barn time and time again for a wedding venue! Google Review Natalie - Bride
The venue is absolutely lovely and is set in a stunning location, especially if the sun is out.

We held our wedding reception here at the start of April and could not have had a better experience. From start to end, the staff including Lincoln and Tracy were absolutely brilliant - ensuring we'd planned everything, times were right, food etc was sorted. The location is stunning and even with a bit of a rainy start, remained gorgeous the entire night. Everyone had an absolute blast from the seamless welcome of guests by the staff to great drinks and special shoutout to their chef who provided a bespoke menu that was better than we could have imagined. The cocktails for cocktail hour were also excellent - could have had them all night! Google Review Beth - Bride
We were just married at the beautiful Chalk Barn back in November and couldn’t think of a more perfect place to get married. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went! Lincoln, Tracy and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing form start to finish and made the day go so smoothly. From the start both Lincoln and Tracy were so easygoing, professional and organised. Their attention to detail is second to none. Along with the views which are absolutely stunning, the food was incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests as to how delicious the food was. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We couldn’t thank Lincoln, Tracy and the rest of the team more for making my husbands and I special day so perfect. 10/10 would recommend!
