I love being asked by couples to be their Riverside Glasshouse wedding photographer. The setting is stunning. Located in the middle of Jephson Gardens, a beautiful Victorian park in the centre of Leamington Spa, the surroundings are idyllic. They also have a tropical glasshouse where you can have your wedding ceremony – how awesome is that! It’s got to be the closest wedding venue to my house too. A 15 minute walk and I’m there!
Wedding Venue in the Town Centre
The Riverside Glasshouse has the River Leam to one side, a tropical Temperate House to the other side and it looks out onto Jephson Gardens. The main function room with it’s own bar and, as the venue name might suggest, massive glass windows looking out on to the river and the park. The Temperature House, full of huge tropical plants, is a great setting for your wedding ceremony. Then there’s the outdoor area in front of the building to enjoy your drinks reception surrounded by the beautiful park, Jephson Gardens. The park is great for both family group photos and some more relaxed couple portraits. There’s a lake just in front of the building where the sun sets over the other side – sunset or golden hour is the perfect time for some couple photos.
Now for a few of my favourite photos that I’ve taken when working at The Riverside Glasshouse…

Wedding Photos at The Riverside Glasshouse
The Riverside Glasshouse is a great venue for wedding photography. The park offers a great backdrop for family photos and the sunsets over the front of the park are gorgeous for couple photos. The tropical glasshouse is also a great options for when the British weather throws a curveball. You can have photos that look like you’re outside with beautiful natural light, whilst remaining dry. This all sounds a bit posey though and that’s not what I’m about for most the day. The Riverside Glasshouse is also a great quirky venue for documenting the real stories of the day as they happen.
