Top 10 Cambridgeshire Wedding Venues We've Worked At

As Cambridgeshire wedding photographers, we’ve been lucky enough to capture weddings at some of the most beautiful venues across the county. From historic cathedrals to rustic barns and elegant country houses, here are our top 10 favourite wedding venues in Cambridgeshire.

Ely Cathedral

Few backdrops are as dramatic as Ely Cathedral. With its stunning Octagon Tower and awe-inspiring nave, it’s perfect for couples who want a truly unforgettable ceremony. We love sneaking couples away for photos in the quiet back chapel and outside among the stone arches.

The Old Hall Ely

Overlooking the cathedral itself, The Old Hall Ely is a Cambridgeshire gem. Think lakeside views, manicured gardens, and an orangery that fills with natural light. We’ve photographed some of the best golden-hour, confetti tosses, sparkler exits, and heartfelt ceremonies here.

Bassmead Manor Barns

A mix of rustic charm and modern luxury, Bassmead Manor Barns is one of our favourites. The Rickety Barn is perfect for intimate ceremonies, while the fields outside make for incredible sunset photos.

Lanwades Hall

Nestled just outside Newmarket, Lanwades Hall combines Edwardian elegance with plenty of outdoor space. We’ve captured fun wedding party shots, champagne sprays, and magical blossom tree photos here.

Hengrave Hall

A little over the Cambridgeshire border, Hengrave Hall is so popular with Cambridge couples that it deserves a spot here. From its on-site chapel to its black-tie ballroom receptions, it’s a dream venue for editorial-style photography.

Holmewood Hall

Set in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside, Holmewood Hall is perfect for grand yet relaxed weddings. The gold leaf detailing in the Banqueting Hall makes for stunning ceremony photos.

Swynford Manor

For modern weddings with a touch of luxury, Swynford Manor ticks all the boxes. We’ve captured fun bridal suite moments, incredible confetti photos on the grand staircase, and dramatic evening photos.

Poets House

Tucked away in the heart of Ely, Poets House is a boutique hotel that blends historic charm with contemporary style. Just steps from Ely Cathedral, it’s perfect for couples who want an elegant yet relaxed setting. We love photographing bridal and groom prep in the stunning suites, intimate receptions in the Garden Room, and golden-hour photos outside the front of the venue or along Ely’s cobbled streets.

The Old Bridge Hotel

Overlooking the river on the edge of huntingdon, The Old Bridge Hotel makes a fantastic reception spot. We’ve captured romantic riverside photos and some incredible sunset photos at Castle Hill.

Burghley House

Although technically just over the Cambridgeshire border in Lincolnshire, Burghley House is one of the region’s most iconic wedding venues and a popular choice for local couples. With its grand Elizabethan architecture, sweeping parkland, and opulent rooms, it’s perfect for couples who want a truly regal setting. We’ve captured unforgettable moments here - from elegant ceremonies in the historic halls to award-winning photos in the Heaven Room. Burghley offers a mix of grandeur and romance that makes every wedding feel like a fairytale.

Why We Love Being Cambridgeshire Wedding Photographers

Cambridgeshire has it all: cathedrals, barns, manor houses, modern hotels, and hidden woodlands. No matter your style, there’s a venue here that’s perfect for your wedding - and we love capturing the unique story of every couple.

We always say that you don't need an hour for beautiful portraits.

Ten minutes, gorgeous light, and a couple who are simply enjoying being together is more than enough.

What a day this was.

We'd been looking forward to this one for a while and it definitely didn't disappoint. Black tie at one of our favourite venues, sunshine all day, an incredible group of family and friends, and a couple that trusted us completely.

Honestly, these two made our job so easy. They were up for every idea we threw at them and completely leaned into the editorial style we love creating. The result is one of our favourite galleries we've ever produced at @theoldhallely.

Congratulations again guys, and thank you for letting us be a part of it. 🤍

Drone in the air for the wide shot, straight back to the camera for the close moments. Worth every second for images like these. 🤍

What an absolute blast of a wedding with these two at @theoldhallely on Wednesday.

We've been dying to share some photos, but they had a blessing today with the rest of their friends and family, many of whom hadn't seen Charlie's dress yet. Now that's all done... We are finally safe to post! 😅
