New Wedding Venues I’m Excited to Photograph in 2026 Across the South West
There’s nothing quite like photographing a wedding at a venue for the first time, it’s fresh, exciting, and it keeps me properly switched on to the light, the layout, and the little hidden pockets that make the best photos. In this post, I’m sharing how I prep for new venues, the 2026 locations I’m most buzzing for, and why a “first time” venue can still deliver an incredible gallery. If you’re getting married at one of these places, this is a great peek behind the scenes of how I make sure everything feels calm and covered.
