Wedding Photography at Pembroke Lodge.
A Wedding Venue in Richmond Park, London
As a Pembroke Lodge wedding photographer, I had the most perfect day here with Emily and Lawrence. From our very first conversation, I knew their wedding would be filled with joy, laughter and excitement. It certainly did not disappoint.
Pembroke Lodge: A Richmond Park Wedding Venue
Pembroke Lodge sits high in Richmond Park, with sweeping views across London. It is a beautiful setting for a wedding, with elegant rooms inside and grounds that look over the treetops and the city beyond. So, the gardens gave us plenty to work with throughout the day.
Getting Ready
Emily looked incredible in her gown from The Boutique & Co. The floral detailing on her shrug echoed the blooms on her veil, and I have to admit, I am completely obsessed. Meanwhile, her bouquet by Freckled Petal was a work of art. It was full of beautiful texture and somehow smelled just as incredible as it looked.
The Ceremony and a Quiet Drive
After their beautiful outdoor ceremony, their guests waved Emily and Lawrence off as they took a quiet drive together. Naturally, I could not resist hopping in too.
Golden Hour in the Gardens
As the evening light softened, we escaped into the gardens for golden hour. Then we headed back for the cake cut and ceilidh. It may have been one of the hottest days of the year, but that certainly did not stop guests having the best time on the dance floor.
Emily and Lawrence, huge congratulations to you both. Thank you for inviting me along to capture your epic day. If you are planning a wedding at Pembroke Lodge, or anywhere in Richmond Park, I would love to hear from you as your Pembroke Lodge wedding photographer. So, get in touch and let’s start planning your day.
As a Wedding Photographer, This Is Why You Should Choose Pembroke Lodge
Pembroke Lodge is a rare find. You can marry in London and still feel surrounded by green space because this listed Georgian mansion sits high in Richmond Park with sweeping views across the city. The formal gardens, the open parkland and the wider expanse of the park are on your doorstep, so there are plenty of beautiful areas for photographs.
The Belvedere is on the ground floor with a private terrace that looks over the Thames Valley and the Russell Suite is a more intimate room. Both are licensed for civil marriages and civil partnerships, indoors or outside under the oak gazebos, so you can say your vows with the park around you.
It is a venue that makes London feel a long way away and I love that.
Why Choose Megan Maxwell as Your Wedding Photographer
People should choose me as their Pembroke Lodge wedding photographer because I know how to tell a story. After fifteen years as a television director and writer at the BBC, I bring a documentary approach to wedding photography, with an eye for the moments, relationships and little details that make your day yours. Emily and Lawrence’s day included a gown with floral detailing on the shrug that echoed the bouquet.
I work in a documentary style for most of the day, quietly in the background, capturing the hugs, the happy tears, the questionable dance moves and all the brilliant, unexpected things going on around you. Somewhere like the Belvedere terrace, the gazebos and the parkland gives me endless moments to watch for. I want you to spend your day with your favourite people, not worrying about where I am or what you should be doing.
I know how much it matters to have photographs of the two of you looking incredible. We will usually take around twenty minutes for a wander together at the terrace and the parkland of Richmond Park, with a little gentle direction when it helps. You do not have to know how to pose or feel at ease in front of a camera. That is what I am there for.
I want my photographs to be as beautiful as they are meaningful. Images full of life, personality and rich colour that show not just what your wedding looked like but how it felt to be there.
In the end I want you to have a collection that tells the whole story. The big moments, the little moments, the people you love and everything you might otherwise have missed. Photographs you will love now and treasure for years to come.
Every collection includes full day coverage with no set hours, travel is included and your previews arrive within 48 hours.
