Welcome to Craig Maunder Photography. You may have found this page as you are looking at or have booked the wonderful De Courceys Manor for your wedding day. De Courceys is one of my favourite venues to work at, it was also the venue that my wife and I chose to get married at so its a venue that I know really well and has a special place in my heart.
De Courceys Manor, located just outside Cardiff, is one of South Wales’ most sought-after wedding venues, and for good reason. This charming manor house is set within a picturesque countryside location, offering a perfect blend of historic elegance and modern comfort. The beautiful grounds, the breathtaking interior, and the overall ambiance make it an ideal backdrop for your wedding photographs.
Whether you’re exchanging vows in the romantic ‘Secret Garden’ or enjoying your reception in the elegant ballroom, De Courceys Manor provides a stunning setting for every part of your day. As a wedding photographer familiar with the venue, I know how to make the most of De Courceys Manor’s unique features. From the grandeur of the main house to the scenic views of the surrounding gardens, there are countless opportunities to create beautiful, timeless images that reflect the beauty of the venue and the love you share.
Typical full day photography coverage at De Courceys Manor begins with bridal preparations in the Pamper and Prep Suite which has been purposely created with the bridal party in mind offering a spacious setting with everything from accomdation for up to 8 guests with lounge area and hot tub for the ultimate sleepover experience to the full length makeup counter complete with lit mirrors for the morning preparations.
Groom preparation photographs are possible at De Courceys Manor, utilising one of the many rooms that work really well to capture photographs of the groom and his groomsmen before the wedding ceremony.
The Wedding Ceremony takes place in the Floral Suite. This is a beautiful room to photograph ceremonies in with its large Georgian style windows allowing ample natural light in to perfectly mix with the warm ambiant lighting provided by the crystal chandeliers and up lights. The center large bay window looks out onto the gardens and is the perfect backdrop for your register signing.
The immaculate grounds at De Courceys Manor provide the perfect backdrop for stunning wedding photographs, both day and night. From beautifully manicured gardens and enchanting walkways to to the delightful swing nestled amidst the lush greenery, De Courceys Manor is the ideal setting to create memories that last a lifetime.
The Wedding Breakfast and Evening Party often takes place in the gorgeous Tapestry Suite which also features large Georgian style windows and doors that give you access to the outdoor seating areas in the garden.
