Capturing Elegance at Findon Manor – A Photographer’s Perspective

Nestled in the heart of the South Downs, Findon Manor is a hidden gem that continues to be one of my favourite wedding and event venues to photograph. With its timeless charm, characterful interiors, and beautifully kept gardens, it offers a perfect blend of elegance and intimacy – a dream setting for any photographer.

The light at Findon Manor is particularly special. Whether it’s the soft morning glow filtering through the sash windows in the bridal suite or the golden hour casting a warm hue over the garden ceremonies, there’s always something magical to capture. The gardens are incredibly versatile, offering everything from structured hedging to open lawn spaces – ideal for couple portraits, candid guest shots, and those all-important family group photos.

One of the standout features for me is how relaxed the atmosphere is. The team at Findon Manor are always welcoming and accommodating, which makes a real difference on a busy shoot day. They understand how to create a seamless flow for both the couple and the suppliers, allowing me to work discreetly and creatively without disruption.

The added bonus is the South Downs is just a 2-3 min drive so you can take lovely photos of the couple overlooking the South Downs and the village.

Every event I’ve photographed here has had its own unique feel, but the common thread is always the warmth and elegance that Findon Manor naturally exudes. If you're planning your wedding or event and looking for a location with classic charm, beautiful surroundings, and exceptional service – this venue is certainly worth a visit.
