Wedding Photographer in Gloucester
A wedding photographer in Gloucester with Big Day Productions covers Gloucester, from the Norman cathedral and Victorian docks to the Severn Estuary, with UK travel included and an instant online quote. Gloucester is a city steeped in history, its magnificent Norman cathedral and regenerated Victorian docks providing two of the most striking wedding photography settings in the west of England. The city sits at the head of the Severn Estuary, with the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the west.
Gloucester Cathedral - with its breathtaking fan-vaulted cloisters, famously used as a filming location for Harry Potter - offers an awe-inspiring ceremonial setting. The revitalised Gloucester Docks, with their red-brick warehouses and waterside walkways, bring a completely different but equally photogenic atmosphere. The surrounding countryside includes the Forest of Dean's ancient woodland, the Severn Vale's water meadows, and the beginning of the Cotswold escarpment. This variety of settings, all within a short distance, makes Gloucester exceptionally versatile for wedding photography.
