Surrey Wedding Venue
Loseley Park Wedding Photography
Loseley Park is a stunning, exclusive-use wedding venue in the Surrey countryside, just south of Guildford. This beautiful, privately owned manor house dates back to the 16th century and sits in 1400 acres of rolling countryside. I never tire of the approach to the house, even though I’ve photographed several weddings and visited many times with friends in the summer months. The mile-long private driveway winds its way through the parkland before opening out to a wonderful view of the Elizabethan manor surrounded by 3 acres of stunning walled gardens and carefully tended lawns. The gardens provide an ever-changing backdrop for wedding photographs and are beautiful whatever the time of year.

Loseley Park As a Wedding Venue
Couples planning a wedding at Loseley Park have a choice of locations for a civil ceremony. In the house itself there is the grandeur of the Great Hall with its wood-panelled walls or the elegance of the Drawing Room with its stunning fireplace carved from chalk. The 17th-century Tithe Barn is also licensed for ceremonies and is perfect for couples wanting a more rustic backdrop. The walled gardens provide a beautiful and ever-changing backdrop for wedding photographs and are a perfect setting for drinks receptions. The gardens are also available for celebrant led wedding ceremonies.
Religious Ceremonies & Local Churches
Loseley Park is surrounded by picturesque countryside and villages, with several churches nearby. Couples booking the gardens and Tithe Barn for their reception may also choose to hold a religious ceremony. Helen and Doug were married at St Nicholas Church, Peper Harow, a beautifully restored church only 15 minutes away. The light here was just beautiful, and I loved the pale-coloured interior and stunning ceiling. Other nearby churches include Busbridge Church (13 minutes drive), The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul (11 minutes), St Mary‘s Church, Shalford (9 minutes) and almost on the doorstep is St Francis, a Church of England church, a mere 4 minutes drive from Loseley Park.
Where to Get Ready at Loseley Park?
In addition to wonderful spaces for ceremonies and celebrations Loseley House also has a light and airy room for bridal preparations, it’s a real oasis of calm with plenty of space.
The Bothy is an exciting new addition, this accommodation is situated at the end of the walled garden and available for newly married couples to book for their wedding night stay.
Local Hotels & AirB&B’s For Guests
There is no shortage of accommodation for guests to stay nearby, from lovely country pubs to rural Airbnb’s. The Stag On The River is a great nearby option for guests. I’ve dined here several times, and it’s a lovely rustic beamed pub with great food and just 12 minutes away. The Withies Inn is even closer, and its Deluxe Room with high ceilings and exposed beams would be great for the bride or groom’s preparations. For guests preferring the convenience of staying in Guildford, the Harbour Hotel has a luxury spa to relax and unwind.
A quick search on Airbnb shows that there is a wonderful array of properties to rent nearby. There are plenty of romantic hideaways in converted farm buildings such as this unique bothy, this beautiful dairy conversion or this quirky stable conversion. This beautifully converted cowshed has lovely gardens and would be a great place to get ready, and I can’t help thinking that this country cottage and this barn conversion would be a great place to stay the night before with your bridesmaids.

Alexandra & Will
Following their heartfelt ceremony at a local church, Alexandra and Will made their way to Loseley Park to continue their celebrations. The hollyhocks were in full bloom, providing a stunning backdrop for their portraits. We were lucky to be blessed with a golden hour, and we took the opportunity to capture a few more portraits in front of the house, making the most of the dreamy, golden light.
Jade & Oliver
The gardens were in full colour, and Jade and Oliver embraced the blooms, despite a little chill in the air. Their ceremony was held in main house and their wedding breakfast in the barn.
Alice & Chris
Alice and Chris had a post-COVID wedding where guests still wore masks during the ceremony—a reminder of the times we’ve all lived through. But once we stepped outside, the celebration truly began. It was more than just a wedding; it was a joyful reunion, a moment to cherish the power of love and community, and a celebration of being able to come together again.
Alex & Neil
These guys had the biggest smiles on their faces all day. There was so much joy and emotion all day. The gardens were bright and colourful and the barn made a great backdrop to their speeches.
Helen & Doug
I can’t think of Helen and Doug’s Loseley Park wedding without immediately thinking of flowers! The gardens at Loseley Park were beautiful in spring for their pre-wedding shoot. They were equally glorious and full of colour as we returned in summer for wedding celebrations. It wasn’t just the Loseley Park gardens that were full of blooms; florist Kate Osbourne from The Gorgeous Flower Company decorated the church and adorned the barn with the most amazing floral decorations you can imagine.
