Royal Wedding Inspired Locations

We’re only days away from the wedding of the century! Now that Prince William and future-princess-to-be Kate have made England a romantic hot spot, we’ve decided to scout out some great locations for engagement shoots and venues for an English-inspired wedding. English-inspired themes are all about traditional gestures of romance, and refined elegance. It’s about being historical, not dated–which is exactly why these places are so stunning!

Top picture: Asthall Manor located in Asthall, Oxfordshire, England. Built in 1620, the Asthall manor is a two-story house privately owned. The ballroom is open occasionally for functions, and the garden is host to a bi-ennial stone sculpture exhibition.

Bottom picture: Longleat Hedge Maze at the Longleat Adventure Park in Warminster, Wiltshire. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful Alice in Wonderland/tea party setting for a photoshoot? The maze itself is 1.75 miles long with 6 bridges. It takes approximately 20 to 90 minutes to finish the whole maze!

Picture: Footpath to Halnaker Mill in West Sussex, England. The Halnaker Mill was built for the Goodwood Estate back in the 19th century. Can you imagine the romantic photo ops you can take on that path? It’s so gorgeous and reminds us a lot of “The Notebook” and sunny days.

Top: Old Yorkshire Bridge in Derbyshire. It is the landmark former parkhouse bridge.

Bottom: University of Cambridge in Cambridge, UK. A beautiful setting that can easily go with any theme you choose for an engagement or portrait shoot. The right photography can make a big difference in emphasizing the academic background or transforming it into an entirely different landscape.

English romanticism is more than just prim and proper courtship, it’s about embracing love that extends traditions and time–much like William and Kate’s!
