Notley Abbey wedding photography and film
Notley Abbey is a magnificent 13th-century abbey in Buckinghamshire, steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful grounds. The medieval architecture, grand interiors, and romantic gardens create a truly unforgettable setting for wedding films that feel cinematic and full of atmosphere.
We've filmed at a lot of historic venues, but Notley Abbey does something different to you. There's a weight to those 13th-century stone walls, a quiet drama in the grand interiors and medieval archways, that makes every frame feel like it belongs in a film. The grounds, the light, the history, it all works in our favour.
Getting to Notley Abbey
Notley Abbey is closest to Aylesbury train station, roughly 5 miles away, so factor in a taxi or pre-booked car for the last leg. For those flying in, London Heathrow is your best bet, around 40 miles away, with good road links via the M40. There is parking on site at Notley Abbey, but spaces can fill quickly, so carpooling with other guests is a smart move. Arriving a little early helps avoid any last-minute stress. For the evening, book your taxi home in advance. Local firms in Aylesbury and Thame are reliable options, but they get busy on weekends, so sort this before the big day.
