Your wedding photographer will be able to take incredible shots from every angle and even from a distance, as he/she will have the depth of the entire Great Lawn to play with. As a couple, you’ll also receive fantastic images of you both making your vows under arch of The Fox’s Steps with the greatness of the Castle above you.
