Wasing Park · Berkshire

Wedding photography and film at Wasing Park.

One team covers both the photographs and the film. We travel from West Sussex to cover weddings at Wasing Park, never two strangers competing for the same shot.

The first thing you notice driving into Wasing is how little of the outside world follows you in. The estate sits in the Berkshire countryside near Aldermaston, a short run from Reading, and the wedding side of it is exclusive use, so on the day it is yours and no one else’s. The 15th-century Parish Church of St Nicholas stands on the grounds, which means a couple can marry in a church more than 500 years old and walk straight back to the reception without anyone getting in a car. The Grade II listed Castle Barn handles the rest of the day and seats roughly 30 to 160 guests depending on how you lay it out. A church ceremony, a barn that old, and farm buildings spread across the grounds give a photographer more different backdrops in one place than most venues manage.

We are Robinson Martin Green, a two-person studio based in West Sussex, and we cover Wasing Park as one team that shoots both the photographs and the film. Wasing is a fair drive from us, and we will say that plainly rather than pretend it is round the corner. We travel for the venues and the couples worth travelling for, and an estate like this is exactly that.

The wedding we point people to

Jack & Emelia, a full day at Wasing.

A full-day wedding on the estate on a bespoke package, the ceremony in the church and the reception in the barn. The same two of us were with them from the morning to the evening.

Bespoke package

Jack & Emelia

Ceremony at St Nicholas · reception in the Castle Barn

Jack and Emelia booked us on a bespoke package for their full day at Wasing Park, and it is the day we point couples to when they ask whether we know the place. The two of us were with them from the morning preparations through to the evening, one team rather than a photographer who leaves after the cake and a separate videographer working to a different clock.

In the weeks before, we sent them a written list of the photographs and the film moments we planned to cover, so nothing important rested on memory once the day filled up. The church and the barn sit close enough that we could work the light in both without rushing anyone between them. The continuity is the part couples tell us they felt most, the same two faces all day who already knew the running order, so the morning and the evening came back as one set rather than two halves that did not quite match.

How a day with us runs

One plan for the whole day.

We work the same way at every venue, and it starts well before the morning of. The point of booking the photographs and the film as one studio is that there is a single plan for how Aaron and Hayden move through your day, which matters more at Wasing than it sounds. A church ceremony followed by a barn reception gives two suppliers who have never met plenty of room to end up in each other’s frames, and you are the one left trying to keep two strangers apart. With one team that does not happen.

What that looks like across the day

We talk through the order of your day in advance and build a single shot list that Aaron and Hayden both work from, so there is one plan rather than a photographer’s plan and a separate film plan that quietly disagree.
Where we have not worked at a venue before, we go and see it first, so we already know the ceremony space, the light at your time of year, and where the portraits will work before we arrive with you.
On the day, Aaron shoots stills and Hayden shoots film side by side, without staging anything twice, having already agreed who stands where so neither of us blocks the other.
Afterwards you get one set of photographs and one film from people who planned the day together, not two deliveries that feel like they came from different weddings.

The film

The same two of us, on stills and film.

Most couples take both the photographs and the film, because it is one team and one booking. The film is not a separate hire bolted on at the last minute. Hayden is there from the morning, filming the speeches and the quieter moments in between, and because he and Aaron move as one unit there is no fighting over the front of the aisle or the best spot during the first dance. If you only want one of the two, that is fine, and we will tell you honestly which makes more sense for the day you are planning rather than steering you to the bigger number.

Good to know

Questions Wasing couples ask.

You are based in West Sussex. Is Wasing Park too far for you?

No. We travel, and Wasing is the kind of estate we travel for. We build the drive into the plan so we arrive unhurried and with time to see the light before the day starts. The road is ours to manage, not yours to worry about.

We are marrying in the church on the estate and then moving to the barn. Can you cover both smoothly?

Yes, and that is one of the reasons Wasing works so well for one team. The 15th-century church and the Castle Barn sit close together on the same grounds, so we move between the ceremony and the reception with you rather than chasing you across town. Jack and Emelia did exactly that.

Do you know Wasing Park, or would you be turning up cold?

We have shot a full day there with Jack and Emelia, so we know how the church and the barn sit together and how the light moves across the grounds. For any part of an estate this size we have not used before, we plan our positions ahead rather than work it out on the day.

How far in advance should we book a Wasing date?

Exclusive-use venues like Wasing tend to go 12 to 18 months out, and the popular summer Saturdays first. Hire there starts from around £3,150, so it is a day couples plan well ahead. Shorter notice does come up, so it is worth asking even if your date is only a few months away.
