The History of Cornwell Manor

Cornwell Manor, situated in the idyllic confines of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, boasts a rich tapestry of history that spans approximately seven centuries.

The Manor is steeped in history, with each brick echoing tales of past occupants, from gentry and clergy to the Beecham family – well-known for their contributions in the pharmaceutical industry. However, Cornwell Manor is best known for its transformation into a prestigious wedding venue. In 2000, it was opened to the public for an array of events, but its vast gardens, elegant interiors, and romantic landscapes quickly garnered attention from couples seeking a distinctive backdrop for their nuptials. Today, the charm and grace of Cornwell Manor’s past lend a sense of timeless elegance to contemporary weddings, with its estate expanding across 2,000 acres, comprising traditional English gardens, a lake, and private village.

FAQs

Picking your Cornwell Manor Wedding Photographer- why Pedge Photography?

Besides the fact that you are getting a highly professional, experienced, and creative photographer who will capture all of the special moments of your wedding day, family and friends, you are getting someone that goes in to each wedding knowing that every couple is unique and that all weddings deserve their own twist and personality, rather than be provided a conveyor belt experience. I take great pride to subtly merge into your day and to be approachable for all your guests. The Cotswolds is an area I grew up in and I am all too familiar with everything the region has to offer. 

What products do you offer as a Cornwell Manor Wedding Photographer?

This can bespoke based on your needs. All packages include a digital gallery in which you, your family and friends can enter with a password and download to any device. On top of this, you can also purchase prints, framed goods and albums through the digital gallery. If you would like me to build you an album, I offer an additional album package as well. Other bits, should you wish to choose them, include a pre-wedding shoot in the cotswolds or a second photographer for your wedding day.

How long do you stay with us for our Cornwell Manor wedding?

I’m an all day photographer and will be with you from roughly two hours before your ceremony until at least the first dance ( and beyond – got to catch all those drunk friends cutting some shapes on the dancefloor!).

Will you travel beyond the Cotswolds for our wedding day?

Of course! Although I describe myself as a Cotswolds wedding photographer, I am happy to travel beyond. Drop me a message to find out more!
