Hampton Court Palace Summer Hindu Wedding Photography
Hindu Wedding Photography in the Garden Room at Hampton Court Palace
The Garden Room at Hampton Court Palace is the perfect location for a summer Hindu Wedding and was the setting for Shiv and Luvy’s beautiful Indian wedding event.
This incredible day began with a Jaan procession through the gardens of Hampton court place before the Hindu Wedding and the ceremony was filled with joy and celebration as this incredible couple married.
One of the main benefits of getting married at Hampton Court Palace is being able to utilise the stunning grounds for couple photographs after the wedding ceremony. Some of my favourite spots include the Kings Staircase, Privy Garden and Fountain as well as the East Front and we were able to make use of these stunning locations for couple portraits.
Here are a few images from this lovely Hindu Wedding at Hampton Court Palace.

About the Venue:
Hampton Court Palace is a unique and stunning wedding venue filled with history and elegance. Located in the idyllic area of Richmond upon Thames, the palace offers a romantic backdrop for almost any type of wedding event.
The venue boasts a number of incredible spaces which are suitable for different styles and sizes of weddings and these include the Great Hall, Little Banqueting House and Garden Room.
One of the most enchanting spaces at Hampton Court Palace is the Garden Room. Bathed in natural light and offering scenic views of the manicured garden, it is an exquisite venue for wedding receptions. The Garden Room, with its capacity for up to 150 seated guests, also boasts a private walled garden — an ideal location for memorable photographs and a beautiful spot for a summer drinks reception.
The Great Hall, famous for its grandeur and Tudor charm, is another setting available at the Palace. It was once the heart of Henry VIII’s court and is a magnificent setting for larger weddings. Its richly decorated wooden arches, hanging tapestries and vast, medieval windows provide a feast for the eyes. With its capacity to accommodate up to 220 guests for a banquet, the Great Hall ensures an unforgettable wedding reception.
For a more intimate setting, the Little Banqueting House offers unrivalled views of the palace's formal gardens and the picturesque Thames riverside. It can accommodate up to 50 people for a sit-down meal and is the perfect place for a more secluded wedding ceremony or reception.
Couples choosing Hampton Court Palace as their wedding venue will also have access to the expertise of the amazing events team at the Palace and it always a pleasure to work with them and see the amazing attention to detail that they put into every wedding.
Hampton Court is full of amazing locations for couple photographs and whichever event space you are using, you will have access to the full grounds of the palace for your wedding photographs. Here are a few of my favourite places for photographs in Hampton Court Palace:
1. The Great Fountain Garden: This setting never ceases to amaze me. The sprawling green landscape paired with the palace's facade in the background offers a grand setting that's nothing short of royal. The evening light here creates a dreamy atmosphere, perfect for those timeless, romantic shots.
2. The Privy Garden: This hidden gem is an oasis of tranquility. With immaculate flowerbeds and sculpted hedges, it provides a serene and intimate setting for close, emotional moments. The greenery provides a lush, textured frame that can add depth and character to your photographs.
3. The Banqueting House: For photos that scream sophistication and elegance, the Banqueting House is the place. The intricate ceiling frescoes and abundant natural light make it ideal for capturing the exquisite details of the wedding attire. This spot is particularly good for capturing the bride's solo shots.
4. The King's Staircase: As you ascend the King's Staircase, you'll be transported back in time. The ornate murals and golden details are nothing short of awe-inspiring. It's a breathtaking backdrop that captures the historical charm of Hampton Court Palace. A shot from the bottom looking up, with the couple at the top, is one of my favorites.
5. The Courtyard: The palace's courtyard, with its stunning architecture and charming cobblestones, offers a splendid setting. Capturing the couple walking hand-in-hand across the courtyard, surrounded by centuries-old walls, is a classic shot that tells a story of timeless love.
6. The East Front: The East Front of the palace, with its distinctive Baroque style, presents an imposing and magnificent backdrop. The symmetrical design and the grand front entrance give your photos an essence of grandeur and drama.
7. The Palace Gardens: The gardens at Hampton Court Palace are simply splendid. The area around the Palm House is particularly vibrant and colourful, making it a great spot for more relaxed, candid shots. The contrast between the lush greenery and the elegant architecture is stunning.
