An Estate Made for Celebration

The magic of Bredenbury Court Barns lies in how it blends the old with the new. At its heart, you’ll find a traditionally built English oak-framed barn with striking contemporary glazed walls—a space that feels both intimate and grand at the same time. The impressive atrium looks out onto the charming stone Manor House and the beautifully restored 1920s Orangery, creating layers of character and history throughout your day.

With exclusive use of the entire estate, your wedding truly becomes your own private celebration. The 29 acres of parkland provide endless possibilities—rolling lawns perfect for garden games, quiet corners for stolen moments, and dramatic backdrops that make every photograph feel like a work of art.

The venue caters beautifully to weddings of all sizes, whether you’re planning an intimate gathering of closest friends and family or a full-scale celebration with everyone you love. And because Bredenbury Court Barns is yours alone for the day, there’s no rushing, no sharing spaces, and no worrying about other events. It’s your day, your way, from start to finish.

Capturing Your Story with Weddings by Michael

At Weddings by Michael, we believe that weddings at Bredenbury Court Barns offer the perfect canvas for stunning, authentic photography. The venue’s combination of rustic textures, contemporary architecture, and natural beauty gives us endless creative possibilities. Here’s how we make your memories last forever.

Our approach is rooted in documentary-style photography—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds rather than staging artificial moments. We’re there for the tears during the vows, the belly laughs during speeches, the quiet hand-squeeze across the table, and those unexpected moments of joy that make your wedding uniquely yours. These genuine emotions create photographs that take you right back to how you felt, not just how you looked.

To ensure your images feel as personal as your vows, we offer four distinct editing styles, all included in our packages. Choose the soft, nostalgic warmth of Vintage, the golden glow of Sunkissed, the dreamy lightness of Matt, or the timeless elegance of Black & White. There’s no extra charge—it’s simply about matching the photographs to your vision.

Bredenbury Court Barns gives us so much to work with photographically. The oak-framed barn with its dramatic beams and natural light creates beautiful, atmospheric shots. The glazed walls flood the space with soft, flattering light throughout the day. The Manor House and Orangery add layers of heritage and grandeur. And the 29-acre parkland? It’s a photographer’s dream—ancient trees, manicured lawns, secluded pathways, and ever-changing light as the day progresses.

We particularly love working with the natural light here during golden hour. As the sun begins to set across the estate, the warm light transforms the grounds into something truly magical. These are often when we capture our most romantic portraits—the kind that make you catch your breath when you see them.

With over thirty years of experience photographing weddings, we’ve learned that the smallest moments often tell the biggest stories. The way you look at each other during the first dance. Your grandmother wiping away a tear. The flower girl’s expression when she sees you in your dress. These fleeting seconds matter, and we’re there to preserve them.

We work closely with Bredenbury Court Barns’ experienced team, coordinating timing and locations so we’re always in the right place without ever getting in the way. The staff here know their venue inside out, and their professionalism ensures your day runs seamlessly—leaving us free to focus entirely on capturing every precious moment.
