Wedding Photographers in Coventry

The roofless shell of the old cathedral, standing beside its modern successor, is Coventry's most moving landmark and a striking place for photographs. Nearby, the timber-framed buildings of Spon Street hint at the city's medieval past, and the War Memorial Park offers broad lawns and mature trees.

Many couples who marry in Coventry also look to the surrounding Warwickshire countryside. Warwick and Kenilworth, each with a historic castle, are only a short drive away, and the rolling farmland between them suits relaxed, natural portraits.

Permissions

Cathedral grounds, castles and private estates commonly ask professional photographers to seek permission before a shoot, and some only allow it at certain times. Mention any location you have in mind when you first enquire.

Light and timing

Stone ruins and old timber look particularly good in the soft light of spring and autumn. Midsummer midday sun can be harsh, so photographers often prefer to take portraits later in the afternoon or during the evening. In winter, plan outdoor photographs for soon after the ceremony.

Booking your photographer

Coventry sits between Birmingham and Warwickshire, so you can choose from photographers based across the West Midlands. The most popular are often booked a year or more ahead for summer Saturdays, while weekday and off-season dates usually offer more choice.
