The slideshow runs from some of the brides “getting ready” to dancing and fireworks in the evening. The slideshow should give you a really good feel for what happens on a wedding day at this popular venue. See the photos in this slideshow or in this sample gallery below:
Background Information and Highlights
The Wokefield Estate Hotel (formerly known as Wokefield Park) Mortimer near Reading in Berkshire is a wedding venue with which Peter is very familiar having worked there many times over several years shooting weddings corporate events and parties - and it is within dog-walking distance of his 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. Most of the Newbury staff are easy going and present no "problem" for professional photographers and videographers; a couple are rather more old-fashioned and restrictive and you may wish to have a word with the register office staff about the coverage you wish to achieve before the day.
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.
See lots more wedding photo galleries including e.g. Peter’s Crowne Plaza Hotel, Peter’s Roseate Hotel, Peter’s Reading Registry Office, Peter’s Old Mill Aldermaston, Peter’s Mill House Hotel Swallowfield, Peter’s Warbrook House, Peter’s Christ Church Reading, Peter’s Elephant Hotel, and many more.

"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"

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

The rear gardens at the Wokefield Estate wedding venue where all the outdoor action takes place. The steps on the far left of the photo, as in centre right, are good locations to shoot small groups as the participants can be staggered on the steps to ensure everyone is visible
The gazebo is a terrific choice for outdoor wedding ceremonies

And another view of the same function room this time as seen from the rear
Most brides like to start their coverage with some "getting ready" shots. Detail of the dress shoes flowers jewellery and so forth look great at the start of your album
This bride chose her ceremony to be at her local church followed by her wedding breakfast and reception at the Wokefield Estate
The groom and his best man pose for a photo just before the start of the marriage ceremony
Professional photography and video is usually permitted throughout the ceremony - but do check before the day with the celebrant who is scheduled to conduct your ceremony because they are not all the same!
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 Wokefield Park 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
Most couples like to have a few set-piece big group photos and there are some ideal locations around the venue because of the steps which ensure everyone can be seen
On a sunny day it is absolutely glorious relaxing with friends and relations, catching up on news, in the gardens at the Wokefield Estate
The bride and groom are enthusiastic singers and theatre performers. Some of the guests were sure to take part!
The drinks served after the ceremony are a good candidate for photos and can look great featured creatively in your album. Here we see the bride and groom moments after their arrival at Wokefield Park from their ceremony in their nearby church
The largest function room set up ready for the wedding breakfast
The speeches are a terrific moment for photos and even more so for video
This wedding evening finished with a firework display
