Stanbrook Abbey
Wedding Photography

by Robin & Sarah

We’re Robin & Sarah,
wedding photographers for Stanbrook Abbey in Worcestershire

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.

About Stanbrook Abbey:
One of our favourite wedding venues in Worcestershire

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.

Getting ready in Bride’s Manor

The Bride’s Manor is a restored manor house connected to the main hotel via private indoor walkway. A really lovely place in which to get ready for your wedding, with lots of space and light and its own access driveway.

Groom’s Room

If the groom’s party are not getting ready in one of the hotel bedrooms, then The Groom’s Room is a great choice.  Located on the ground floor, off the cloister corridors and near the Callow Great Hall, the Grooms Room has plenty of space and natural light.

Wedding ceremonies in Callow Great Hall

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.

Wedding receptions in St Anne’s Hall and gardens

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.

Blessings and larger receptions in Garden Pavilion Marquee

Located adjacent to St Annes Hall is the Garden Pavilion marquee.  This is an ideal space for a larger wedding reception, blessing or religious wedding ceremony.

Gorgeous wedding photos in the buildings and grounds

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.

Testimonials from our weddings at Stanbrook Abbey

About us & how we work

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.

That’s us! Sitting on top of a mountain at Petra in Jordan while on our honeymoon.

Experience & versatility

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.

Honesty, empathy & authenticity

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.

A style for couples who just want to enjoy their day

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.
