Harry & Sheri’s Timeless Wedding at Pauntley Court, Gloucestershire
Harry and Sheri’s Pauntley Court wedding was the perfect blend of English countryside charm and timeless Cotswold elegance. Nestled in the rolling hills of Gloucestershire, Pauntley Court is one of those rare venues that feels both grand and intimate — a place where every view looks like it was made for a photograph. As a Gloucestershire wedding photographer, I was instantly captivated by the warm golden light, the gentle scent of the gardens, and the manor’s character-filled architecture.
The day began with calm, joyful preparations inside the historic manor house. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows as Sheri slipped into her gown — a moment that felt both cinematic and deeply personal. Their outdoor ceremony overlooked the gardens in full bloom, surrounded by the soft hum of summer and the quiet excitement of family and friends.
After heartfelt vows and a shower of confetti, we wandered through the gardens, orchards, and lakefront for portraits that felt relaxed, romantic, and authentically them. Pauntley Court’s timeless aesthetic — terracotta tones, ivy-covered walls, and the open Cotswold sky — offered endless inspiration. As evening arrived, golden-hour light wrapped the landscape in warmth, creating the kind of glow every photographer dreams of capturing.
