Tortworth Court is a Grade II-listed Victorian mansion, and honestly, it looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. The grand entrance, period features, sweeping staircases, and intricate stonework make every wedding feel so elegant and timeless. For classic couple portraits or those gorgeous, candid moments, the backdrop here is simply stunning. The bedrooms provide the perfect space for getting ready photos, and I love the bar area called Moreton's bar, it's a super relaxed plush dark wood panelled room that's great for some candid flash photos in the evening.

2. Gorgeous Gardens & Scenic Outdoor Spaces
