I have shot a number of weddings and engagement shoots at Bowden Hall now and the grounds are always a must for portraits. They have some lovely walkways, trees and even the lake nearer the bottom. It is the perfect backdrop for relaxed walking shots and even sparklers in the evening with some of your guests. The main terrace area is the best spot for your drinks reception and your confetti photos. I often shoot confetti and group shots outside with the beautiful hotel in the background.
After come canapes and chatting to your guests I tend to steal you away for some couples shots in the grounds. There is a lovely little bench under the large tree on the lawn. Here is the perfect spot for some wedding party group photos too.
