A Dreamy Autumnal Wedding Styled Shoot at The Courtyard Venue, Shropshire
Autumn is hands-down my favorite time of year, and it served as the perfect inspiration for this beautiful autumnal wedding styled shoot. There’s something magical about the crisp air, warm tones, and the way the natural light filters through golden leaves.
So when I was deciding on a location, I knew there was only one place for it—The Courtyard Venue, tucked away in the stunning Shropshire countryside. Having photographed a wedding there last year, I instantly fell in love with its rustic charm and knew it would be ideal for this shoot.
One of the standout features of The Courtyard Venue is its enchanting gardens. Whether you’re planning couple’s portraits or looking for the perfect spot for your drinks reception, the outdoor space is an absolute dream. The venue’s winding paths, blooming flowers, and rustic stone walls create endless photo opportunities.
The outdoor space isn’t just great for photos – they’re also perfect for mingling with your guests during your drinks reception and provides the perfect backdrop for those all important candid moments.
Inside, the venue’s rustic Mediterranean-inspired charm really shines through. With its whitewashed walls, The Courtyard Venue offers a unique space for both the ceremony and the reception. The barn is separated into two main areas, allowing a seamless transition from “I do” to celebrating with your loved ones.
The ceremony space comes pre-decorated with delicate fairy lights, creating an intimate and magical atmosphere. However, it is still a space that allows couples to add their own personal touches.
For this shoot, we dressed the area with a stunning copper frame and florals, and tied in bold, seasonal colours like burgundy, burnt orange, and natural greens and brought these colours through into the stationery and candles. This brought a rich, autumnal vibe to the space that felt both bold and elegant.
For the reception area, we really leaned into the richness of the season. Trellis tables were adorned with coloured linens and candlelight, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The bold floral arrangements featuring dahlias, roses, hydrangeas, and even brambles, added texture and depth to the space.
To enhance the overall design, we incorporated pops of color through the stationery, favours, cake, amber water glasses, and gold cutlery. The gold charger plates and napkins tied everything together, perfectly complementing the warm autumnal tones.
The Courtyard Venue truly has it all – gorgeous gardens, warm rustic decor, and endless photo opportunities to capture every special moment.
From the outdoor spaces filled with seasonal colours to the beautifully decorated barn, this styled shoot proves that a fall wedding here is nothing short of magical.
How very lovely!
