Hyde House Wedding Photographer
HYDE HOUSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
As a Hyde House wedding photographer and a recommended supplier, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some unforgettable celebrations at this stunning venue. Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Hyde House is the perfect setting for an elegant countryside wedding. With its beautifully restored barns, light-filled ceremony space and beautiful rolling landscape, it offers everything you need for a stylish yet relaxed celebration. Below, I share an little insight into what a wedding might look like at Hyde House, with a tiny glimpse into some of the stunning celebrations I’ve documented there so far.
WEDDING preparations AT HYDE HOUSE
Preparations at Hyde House are wonderful from a photography perspective. There are separate locations for both bridal prep and groom prep, both onsite – allowing me to capture a little of both, even when working by myself.
The bridal party typically gets ready in The Loft, a beautifully designed space with plenty of natural light, elegant furnishings, and large mirrors – perfect for those getting-ready moments with the girls. There is even access to outdoor space, tucked away from guests arrivals if you would like some pre-ceremony outdoor portraits.
Meanwhile, the groomsmen usually gather in The Library, a stylish and cozy front room of the main house. It’s a great spot for finishing touches, adjusting ties, and sharing a celebratory drink. Plus, it offers the perfect vantage point to spot and greet guests as they arrive.
Your Ceremony
Most Hyde House ceremonies take place in The Grange, an elegant, purpose-built barn featuring large windows that fill the space with natural light. It offers a bright, contemporary atmosphere while retaining a little rustic charm that you’d expect from a Cotswolds barn. With its neutral palette, The Grange serves as a stunning blank canvas, effortlessly complementing any floral or décor choices.
Hyde House also offers the option of a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the Arbor, set against the rolling Cotswold hills. This stunning backdrop creates a truly picturesque setting. Despite capturing many weddings at Hyde House, I’m still eagerly waiting for the chance to photograph a ceremony in this breathtaking spot!
Confetti & drinks reception in the barn
Following the ceremony, it’s time for confetti! You have the option of a confetti line either outside the main house or infront of the Arbor in the gardens – both beautiful spaces. If it’s raining, you can still have your confetti moment as you exit The Grange, or just grab some umbrellas and we’ll go outside anyway! Hyde house allow both biodegradable paper disc and natural petal confetti, so you have lots of options to choose!
For the drinks reception, guests typically gather in the Barn, or outside on the patio and lawn, soaking in the stunning countryside views while enjoying drinks and canapés. The terrace is a fantastic spot for mingling, close to the bar, with plenty of room for outdoor games or live music too. I always recommend allowing plenty of time for your reception, ensuring you’ve got time to relax and greet your guests, while also allowing time for group photos and couples’ portraits.
Couples Portraits & golden hour
One of my favourite things about Hyde House is the variety of stunning backdrops for couples portraits. From the Cotswold stone main house, to the rustic barn, charming gardens tand rolling countryside hills. The ever-changing seasonal light brings something unique every time I visit and, if you’re lucky enough to catch golden hour, it really is the most breathtaking location to make the most of beautiful light
Wedding Breakfast
The Barn at Hyde House is a beautiful setting for your wedding breakfast. With its high ceilings, exposed beams, and neutral tones, it offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that works beautifully with a range of decor styles. Whether you opt for long banquet tables with soft candlelight or round tables adorned with elegant florals, this space lends itself perfectly to creating a stunning reception setup
The Party
When it comes to the evening, Hyde House sets the stage for an incredible party. After your wedding breakfast, make the most of Hyde’s cocktail selection offering – beautifully presented on their rustic cart. Meanwhile, the Barn seamlessly transforms into your party space, complete with twinkling lights, a spacious dance floor, and ample room for a live band or DJ. The acoustics are fantastic and, unlike some venues, the sound limiters won’t hold back the energy. I’ve seen some unforgettable parties here and love to stick around to capture all the fun and energy on the dance floor!
KIND WORDS
Lucy was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. From our very first Zoom call, she made us feel comfortable and excited about our wedding photography. Despite living in the US, she always made time to set up calls and walk us through every detail of our special day.
On the wedding day, Lucy was not only incredibly professional but also wonderfully calming. She had a way of putting everyone at ease, and her presence was a true joy. And the photos? They are absolutely perfect! Lucy captured every moment beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
Thank you, Lucy, for giving us such amazing memories to cherish forever. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, dedicated, and delightful photographer. SHE IS THE BEST!!!
