Wedding Photographer Great Fosters

Great Fosters was the London seat of Sir John Dodderidge (1555–1628), a judge of the King’s Bench and formerly Solicitor General to King James I. He had been brought up in Barnstaple in North Devon and purchased the estate of Bremridge near South Molton in Devon, as his country estate. After being sold several times over the past 300 years or so it eventually became a hotel and now hosts wedding and conferences in the converted stable blocks.

As a wedding venue Great Fosters is absolutely awesome, with beautiful interiors and stunning external architecture. The house is nestled within 50 acres of parklands and beautifully landscaped gardens, which are considered to be amongst the finest Arts and Crafts gardens in Europe. The formal gardens of Great Fosters are both extensive and exceptional and were originally designed by W H Romaine Walker and Gilbert Jenkins, cleverly framed on three sides by a Saxon moat. Designed to reflect the intricate beauty of a Persian rug, the knot garden is embellished with fragrant beds of flowers and herbs bordered by manicured hedges and topiary. At the heart of it all is the Drake sundial which historians suggest may have been donated by Sir Francis Drake and is believed to date back to 1585. Steeped in history! There are so many perfect backdrops for beautiful wedding photos in the grounds that it’s certainly worth allowing some time in the schedule to enjoy them.
