“We wanted to say a huge thank you for photographing our wedding, you really did capture so many memories and moments of our special day that we really will cherish forever.”
Stanbrook Abbey
Wedding Photography
by Robin & Sarah
We are a husband-and-wife team based in north Worcestershire, photographing weddings in all the Midlands counties and further across the UK, offering full-day and part-day wedding photography with the choice of one photographer (Robin) or the two of us working together.
We first photographed a wedding at Stanbrook Abbey in 2017 and found it to be an incredibly photogenic wedding venue that provided a stunning backdrop for weddings of different sizes, styles and ethnicities. We have returned to Stanbrook several times and are on the official list for recommended Stanbrook Abbey wedding photographers.
The Stanbrook Abbey Hotel is located in Callow End near the town of Malvern in Worcestershire. Parts of the building date from the 1700s when it was a private home, after which it was expanded in a Victorian gothic revival style and became home to Benedictine nuns until its deconsecration in 2009. It was purchased and renovated by Hand Picked Hotels and is now a modern hotel, weddings and events venue, retaining the stunning original architecture and features.

The Callow Great Hall was the former chapel of the abbey. An absolutely stunning setting for your wedding ceremony, with stained glass windows, original carved wooden pews and a beautiful tiled floor. One of the most iconic and photogenic ceremony locations in the entire county. Licensed for civil wedding ceremonies with a max capacity of 250 people.
St Anne’s Hall is where wedding receptions take place, with its own gardens, terraced area and the Library Bar and easy access to the wider grounds. St Anne’s is situated in an adjacent building to the main hotel for privacy, but is connected via internal walkways for convenience.
The huge range of photo spots offered by Stanbrook Abbey make it a stunning backdrop for your wedding. Beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, a mixture of modern and vintage architecture and of course the iconic backdrop of the arched cloister corridors all help make Stanbrook Abbey one of the most photogenic wedding venues in Worcestershire.

“The photos are simply incredible. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It’s been a pleasure working with you both.”
We’ve been married since 2011 and live between Birmingham and Worcester. We loved good films, good food and travel!
We’ve been photographing weddings for 17 years and have worked at all kinds of wedding venues across the country, but we’re particularly fond of our home county of Worcestershire. Of all the venues here Stanbrook Abbey is one of our very favourites and it’s always a pleasure to return.
From simple elopements to huge celebrations, our versatility and ability to work with different environments and situations has been honed over many years. With more than 400 weddings under our belt, we’ve photographed weddings at every type of venue imaginable, including several at Stanbrook Abbey in different areas of the venue.
Anticipation and nerves, the emotion of the ceremony, quiet seconds of reflection, friends catching up or everyone rocking out on the dancefloor. Weddings are interesting as they are so we don’t believe in faking, staging or dominating the day. Creating an honest narrative of real interactions and moments is the fundamental approach that all of our work is based upon.
Our wedding photography is a balance of documentary-style moments, gorgeous portraits, exquisite details and a limited number of formal groups. You can focus on having a fantastic day with your favourite people, knowing that your memories will be documented by photographers who get along well with your guests and have the confidence to get things done.
