Wedding photography and film at The Priory Hotel & Restaurant

The Priory Hotel & Restaurant is a church wedding venue in Wales, set in the heart of Caerleon, one of Roman Britain's most significant garrison towns, and housed in a historic building carrying more than 2,000 years of history within its walls.

A historic building providing characterful event and dining spaces in the heart of Caerleon — one of Roman Britain's most significant garrison towns — with the extraordinary atmosphere of a site saturated with 2,000 years of history.

We find that venues with this depth of character bring something genuinely irreplaceable to a wedding day, where the atmosphere does much of the work before a single photograph is taken. The richly textured spaces, both for ceremony and dining, offer the kind of layered, storied backdrop that translates beautifully on film. It is a venue we would love to bring our cameras to.
