Background Information and Highlights

The Wokefield Estate Hotel (formerly known as Wokefield Park) Mortimer near Reading in Berkshire is a wedding venue with which I am very familiar having worked there many times over several years shooting weddings corporate events and parties - and it is within dog-walking distance of my Burghfield Common base!

The Wokefield Estate is easy to travel to being a very short hop from junction 11 of the M4 and just a few miles north of the M3. It has plenty of free onsite car parking.

Weddings take place in the Mansion House and there are three rooms licensed for ceremonies including high numbers in the Maple Restaurant. It is also possible to have a marquee in the grounds and the pergola is available for outdoor ceremonies. The Newbury registrars are responsible for the legal side.

The exterior enjoys large grounds and lawns plus a big lake surrounded by mature trees. The rear of the building has a light Mediterranean feel to it with its raised terraces. In very bright sunshine shaded areas suitable for the best quality portrait photography are in short supply but its worthwhile hunting these out.

Daneeka & Tom S (Wokefield Estate)

"My husband & I used Peter for our wedding at Wokefield Park in Sep 2018 & have just commissioned & received our beautiful wedding albums from him. In our dealings with Peter before, during and after our wedding, we found him to be very friendly, professional, efficient, experienced & organised. We were particularly influenced in our selection of him by the quality of his photography & eye for the telling, human detail in his photos (as shown by his online portfolio) - and his wedding photos for us did not disappoint. We also selected him for his ability to capture video of key moments alongside the photos, and these are similarly of excellent quality, well-edited with clear & sharp sound & colour. Additionally, when it became clear that our evening festivities were running late & that they would exceed Peter's contracted time, he willingly stayed longer to cover our first (and only!) dance! Although I am expatriate Chinese, I did not feel in anyway uncomfortable in my dealings with Peter and the digital photo slide show (with music mixed with the videos of several important moments from the day) that he produced for us was a centrepiece of the later wedding feasts held for my extended family, friends etc back in China. This slide show was well received and appreciated by my relatives - it gave those who didn't come to the UK wedding a great opportunity to also enjoy this very culturally-different event at second-hand (and it made my father very proud). As such, my husband & I have no hesitation in recommending Peter both for his technical skill and for his attitude"

Xiabo & Andrew H (Wokefield Estate)

"Candy and I would like to thank you very much for a fantastic video which we love. You did a great job!!"

Some shade is available next to some mature trees and shrubs at one end of the building. This is recommended if the weather conditions are too bright for good quality portraits in the open spaces. Here we see a popular must-have shot of the bride and groom

The lake at the Wokefield Estate is a nice mature secluded location which is ideal for some set piece photos of the bride and groom. It is a few hundred yards from the main building and so a golf buggy may be arranged to transport you
