Gorse Hill Hotel Wedding Photography
Are you looking for a local recommended Gorse Hill wedding photographer? I am a Surrey wedding photographer, based in nearby Bagshot, only 15 minutes from Gorse Hill.
The Venue
Gorse Hill is an elegant Edwardian country house hotel set in 17 acres of peaceful grounds. Approached down a long drive, this archetypal English manor house oozes charm from a bygone era. Built in 1910 for John Ingram, a Lloyds underwriter. Ingram never actually lived in the house, because when The Titanic went down he lost all of his money. The house then had multiple different owners and fell into disrepair before becoming a hotel in 2005. Active Hospitality purchased Gorse Hill in 2017 and then reinstated it to its former glory and built the Garden Suite in the grounds. Today there are even more bedrooms, as well as a fabulous restaurant and bar.
Great Location
If you want to get married outside London, not far from the Surrey countryside, this beautiful wedding venue could be perfect for you. Only a few minutes from the centre of Woking and close to both the M3 and M25 motorways. And for your international guests, Heathrow airport is only 40 minutes away. With carefully manicured lawns, gorgeous original architecture and fabulous interiors, it’s a real gem.
Hello!

I will provide you with lots of candid photographs that tell the story of your day. Your bride and groom portraits will be relaxed and stress-free.

Helpful staff
The staff at Gorse Hill will help you to organise the day of your dreams. Belinda is the wedding co-ordinator and on the day Jake runs everything and will make sure that it all runs smoothly. Of course you can have the whole day here, from getting ready to ceremony to wedding breakfast and then your evening party. This can take away concerns about the logistics of travelling between venues. But if you have always wanted to get married in church there is plenty of choice locally.
The Mansion house is available for civil ceremonies from Monday to Friday for up to 90 guests. At the weekend the Garden Suite Ballroom can be used, which accomodates up to 150 people.
Formal Group Photos
The gardens are south facing, which is great for enjoying the terrace and playing garden games. When the weather is overcast I think that the building makes a fantastic background for your formal group photos. On a bright sunny day I prefer the area of grass below the main steps. It’s a better solution to avoid everyone squinting at the camera.

Wedding Photography Style
My wedding photography style is natural and focuses on creating photos that tell your wedding story in an authentic and timeless way. I love capturing lots of wedding guest and couple reactions with candid photography. Whether that’s tears of laughter at the best man’s speech or tears of joy and nervousness when you first see each other. You will get all the shots that will help you to remember the moments of your special day. I can be with you on your wedding day from bridal preparation right through to your first dance and the party.
