Great Lodge Wedding at Anne of Cleves Barn, Braintree - Alison & Lewis

GREAT LODGE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Great Lodge is a breathtaking rural estate in the serene countryside of Braintree, a venue steeped in history and charm. With over a century of farming heritage, the estate witnessed its transformation into a remarkable wedding venue, making dreams come true amidst its picturesque surroundings. 

History resonates through every brick of Great Lodge, with roots dating back to the 14th century. The Grade 1 Listed Anne of Cleves Barn stands as a testament to this fascinating history, offering couples a truly unique setting for their special day. 

Great Lodge ensures an intimate and personalised experience for each couple. Far from being a production line, every wedding receives undivided attention, allowing couples to craft their day exactly as they envision it. The exclusivity of the venue means that couples have the entire day before the wedding to prepare, soaking in the tranquil ambience of the estate. 

Alison & Lewis's beautiful ceremony unfolded against the backdrop of the magnificent walled garden pavilion. It was a breathtaking affair, with the sun casting its golden hues over the vineyards as Alison walked down the aisle.

Adding to the charm of the occasion was their beloved furry friend, dressed to the nines in a dapper bow tie, proudly trotting alongside the bridal party. With a wag of his tail, he stole the hearts of everyone present, a testament to the couple's spirit and love for making their wedding theirs! 

Following the heartfelt exchange of vows, the newlyweds and their guests embarked on a whimsical adventure, feeding the resident alpacas. Against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, it was great fun to see everyone delighted to get involved. It was a moment of pure joy, captured forever in the memories of all who were present. 

Great Lodge is truly one of the most beautiful venues that I have ever photographed, and it's always a pleasure to keep returning for such amazing love stories.

Every single composition is so picturesque, and our photos took us on romantic strolls through the woodlands to candid shots amidst the rows of grapevines. Every photo was a testament to just how stunning this venue is! 

But the magic didn't end there. As evening descended upon Great Lodge, the barn came alive with the sounds of laughter and music. From heartfelt toasts to impromptu dance-offs, the party was something that none of us will soon forget!

Alison and Lewis's wedding at Great Lodge was a testament to the venue's timeless charm and impeccable service. Great Lodge offers more than just a venue; it provides a canvas upon which couples can paint their perfect wedding day.

With its rich history, stunning surroundings, and unparalleled service, it's no wonder that it remains a beloved choice for couples seeking a truly unforgettable celebration. 



I can't help but share my absolute adoration for Great Lodge. It's become one of my favourite venues, a place where I truly enjoy photographing and returning to!
