Welcome to a page that's not just about a wedding venue but about a journey of love, captured one frame at a time at the stunning Avoncroft Museum in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. I'm a Warwickshire-based wedding photographer, and I've enjoyed turning special days into timeless memories at this historic gem. Avoncroft isn't just a museum; it's a history that breathes life into weddings. My camera and I have wandered its grounds, capturing candid photography that speaks volumes of love and joy.

So, let's embark on this picturesque journey together at one of the most charming wedding venues, where every photo tells a story.
The Charm of Avoncroft Museum
Every time I step into Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings with my camera, I'm swept away by its unique and memorable setting, making it one of Bromsgrove's most enchanting wedding venues. This isn't just a collection of historical buildings; it's a place where history meets romance. Imagine your civil ceremony in the Mission Church, an intimate and character-filled ground, or hosting your wedding breakfast in the New Guesten Hall, with its beautifully detailed medieval carpentry and ample, large and flexible space throughout.
The museum's extensive grounds offer a variety of exciting, interesting and unusual settings for wedding photographs. From the romantic setting of the open-air museum entrance to the charming model engineers' railway, each corner of Avoncroft tells a unique story. As a wedding photographer, I find inspiration around every turn – capturing moments of love and laughter in these character-filled grounds, like the laughter and love against the backdrop of the National Telephone Kiosk Collection.
Whether it's an afternoon tea in the Weaver Gallery, a civil ceremony in the historic Mission Church, or an optional evening reception in the spacious and versatile New Guesten Hall, Avoncroft provides a blank canvas to style your day uniquely. Each wedding photo taken here captures a moment in time and the essence of this truly unique and romantic venue. From the quaintness of Stoke Heath to the grandeur of the main reception hall for guests only, Avoncroft Museum ensures an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.
