Clearwell Castle Wedding Photography
Wedding photographer at Clearwell Castle
Below is some posts from previous blog entires featuring examples of my Clearwell Castle wedding photography. Clearwell Castle is set in twenty acres of landscaped grounds within the Forest of Dean near the village of Clearwell in Gloucestershire. It was built using local stone in a Gothic architectural style in 1727 under the ownership of Thomas Wyndham, on the site of an older house. By 1947 the house was deserted until it was purchased by Frank Yeates, a son of a former gardener on the estate. With the help of his family and friends, the castle was restored room by room. In the 1970’s Clearwell castle was being used as recording studio for bands such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Bad Company and Led Zeppelin. These days Clearwell Castle is part of Country House Weddings Ltd, a collection of exclusive use weddings which includes St Audries Park.
“THANK YOU!!! These are absolutely beautiful. You captured the day wonderfully.”
