Wedding day at Coombe Abbey
Possibly, the most famous wedding venue in the Coventry area
A wedding at Coombe Abbey Hotel is truly a spectacular experience, especially for guests visiting the venue for the first time. Located less than six miles from Coventry city centre, on the eastern side of the city, Coombe Abbey offers a unique sense of seclusion and grandeur. Although there is no public access to the hotel itself, the surrounding park is well-known to residents and is open to visitors, making it a popular and much-loved destination in the area.
Since 2019, the park has also been home to Go Ape, adding another interesting element to this already impressive location. Who knows — perhaps one day a wedding couple will ask me to step away from the elegant grounds and capture a few adventurous portraits there too 🙂
Besides a memory from the morning preparation to the wedding day at Coombe Abbey, this photo is an excellent example of how I can use different sources of light to create an interesting image.
simple and beautiful. Isn’t it? natural light, natural shot. That’s what you need.
Wow, a couple of minutes ago, we had a nearly clear sky, with a temperature around 25 degrees Celsius, and nobody expected to see this in the middle of summer.
Confetti on the West terrace at Coombe Abbey. As always in my case, no “staging”, pure natural and full of energy photos. Photos on a high technical level. That’s why those people choose MK Wedding Photography
In group photos, the background is very important. I would say it is more than 50 per cent of the image. In here fantastic view of a garden and a lake at Coombe Abbey.
Rather than diving into the rich history of Coombe Abbey — which you can easily explore on Wikipedia and other sources — I’d much rather focus on what truly matters here: the wedding day itself.
This particular wedding took place in the heart of summer. The day was warm and bright, creating the perfect atmosphere for celebrations and outdoor photography. Just after we finished most of the portraits, the weather surprised us with a short burst of hail — a dramatic but fleeting moment that only added to the story of the day. Thankfully, everything fell perfectly into place, allowing us to capture beautiful, relaxed images filled with genuine emotion and unforgettable moments.
A different perspective than in the previous photo has changed everything. Look at how all lines go straight to the centre during the focus point on the bride and those 2 gentleman
Emotions? Trust me, this photo and thousands of similar photos showing emotions will make you laugh or cry, even many years after your wedding day. I can imagine that you do not feel anything looking at this photo. You can see the unknown people, but imagine that the lady in the picture would be your mother. Will it work as I wrote?
A walk on the bridge at the most popular park in Coventry. A photo captured by one from the best wedding photographers in Coventry. Definitely, the only photographer approved by MPA
That’s me. Knocked out by running guys 🙂
More group photos. this time with a different background. Have a look at my Instagram for more photos from this place. Some action shots will be there…
Simple and interesting way on the way back to the hotel on how to use a puddle 🙂 It would be better to ask the couple to come closer to the edge of the water, but… wedding dresses are very expensive 🙁

When the atmosphere at the wedding is nice, why do not play with wedding guests a little bit more? All my couples know that Mk Wedding Photography isn’t a fan of static, staged photos. Trowing hats at Coombe Abbey
