There's something special about Huntingdon that makes it ideal for wedding photography. This market town sits beautifully along the River Great Ouse, offering couples both the convenience of town centre venues and access to some of Cambridgeshire's most photogenic countryside within walking distance.
Hinchingbrooke Country Park is probably our favourite location for couples who want variety in their shots. The ancient woodlands give you that fairy-tale feel, while the open parkland offers space for those big group photos without feeling cramped. The light filters through the trees beautifully, especially in late afternoon, and there are enough different spots that we can create a whole story of your day just within the park.
For couples drawn to water and open skies, the riverside meadows along the Ouse are hard to beat. Portholme Meadow, in particular, offers expansive views that change with the seasons - from spring wildflowers to golden autumn grass. It's one of those places that feels completely rural despite being so close to town, and the river adds a lovely reflective quality to photos, especially during golden hour.
If you're having your ceremony or reception at Hinchingbrooke House, you're already in one of the area's most photogenic venues. The Tudor architecture provides a stunning formal backdrop, while the grounds offer plenty of space for more relaxed shots. We often combine venue photography here with a quick trip to the country park - they're practically next door to each other.
What we love about working in Huntingdon is how accessible everything is. You can have your formal photos by the river, your group shots in the park, and your intimate couple portraits in the town's quieter corners, all within a short drive of each other. This means more time for photography and less time travelling between locations.
Our approach focuses on documenting your day as it unfolds naturally, while making sure we capture the beauty of these local settings. We know where the light falls best at different times of day in each location, which spots work well for different sized groups, and how to work with the weather whatever it throws at us.
Being based at our Papworth Everard studio means we can easily cover Huntingdon and the surrounding area, and we often suggest combining town and country locations for couples who want the full Cambridgeshire experience in their wedding album.
