On November 16th, I had the pleasure of attending The Barn at Drovers Rest’s wedding open day as a featured photographer. Set in the heart of Herefordshire, this venue combines rustic charm with modern touches, creating an ideal space for weddings that are as personal as they are picturesque.
A Venue That Ticks All the Boxes
The Barn at Drovers Rest is more than just a beautiful backdrop. With 40 acres of fields and forest, it offers couples exclusive use of the entire estate. Whether you’re dreaming of an outdoor ceremony with mountain views or a cozy celebration in one of the barns, the options here are endless.
As a wedding photographer, I couldn’t ask for a better canvas. The mix of natural light, dramatic landscapes, and thoughtful details (fire pits, wildflowers, and glamping tents, to name a few) provides countless opportunities to capture meaningful moments in a stunning setting.
Highlights of the Open Day
The open day had a warm, welcoming vibe that encouraged couples to explore, imagine, and plan their dream day. Here’s what stood out:
Food and Drink: Guests were treated to delicious seasonal bites and drinks, showcasing the venue’s commitment to quality.
Supplier Showcases: It was great to meet so many couples at my stand and talk about how I approach wedding photography. Other vendors, from florists to live entertainers, also brought their creativity to the event.
Venue Tours: Couples explored the barns, outdoor spaces, and accommodation, giving them a real sense of what their day could look like.
Live Music: Adding to the atmosphere, live performances helped set the tone for what a wedding here could feel like.
Why I Recommend The Barn at Drovers Rest

It’s a place where couples can create something truly personal, whether it’s a festival-style celebration or an elegant barn wedding. The team at Drovers Rest goes the extra mile to ensure every detail is just right, and that care shows in every corner of the estate.
For me, the magic lies in the authenticity. My goal as a photographer is always to tell your story in a way that feels natural and timeless, and this venue is perfectly suited to that approach.
