Pinewood Hotel Wedding Photography
Set in open countryside grounds, Pinewood Hotel gives couples some of the softest golden hour light I shoot anywhere in Berkshire. The gardens, deckchair lawn, and open fields make it easy to get portraits that feel relaxed rather than posed - this is one of my favourite venues to return to.
Best photo spots at Pinewood Hotel
-
The rear lawn and gardens - best light 90 minutes before sunset, especially with the tree line as backdrop
-
The deckchair area - a relaxed, candid spot for couple portraits between formal shots
-
The walkway near the entrance - good for confetti shots with natural framing
-
Golf course fairway views - wide, open shots if your timeline allows a short walk
Practical info
-
Getting ready rooms: North-facing rooms have soft, even light - ask your wedding coordinator to confirm which room you’re assigned
-
Ceremony timing: If your ceremony is outdoors, aim for a start time that leaves 60–90 minutes of daylight afterward for portraits
-
Photography restrictions: None for outdoor ceremonies; indoor ceremony rooms may restrict movement during vows - check with your coordinator
