If you're looking for a Merewood wedding photographer then look no further - I have shot more weddings at Merewood Hotel than I have had hot dinners! Perched above Windermere, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and breathtaking Lakeland views, Merewood Country House Hotel is a dream wedding venue. With its rich history, elegant interiors, and warm atmosphere, it offers the perfect setting for a celebration—whether it’s an intimate elopement or a grand gathering filled with laughter and dancing.


From the moment you step inside, Merewood’s character is undeniable. The dramatic dark wood panelling and stained-glass windows create a sense of timeless charm, while the sweeping staircase is a stunning focal point for photographs. The Library, with its crackling fire and ornate mirrors, feels cosy and inviting, perfect for quieter moments. Meanwhile, the Lonsdale Room and Piano Lounge bring in floods of natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, showcasing uninterrupted views of the fells and lake.

Beyond the interiors, the grounds are just beautiful. From manicured lawns to hidden woodland paths, every corner offers a picture-perfect backdrop. There are even highland cattle, these beautiful and friendly animals offer something that little bit different! And for those seeking iconic lakeside portraits, Millerground, a serene shoreline just a short drive away, provides a spectacular setting with Windermere stretching into the distance.

If Merewood is on your shortlist, it’s easy to see why. It’s a venue that feels like home yet carries an air of quiet luxury—timeless, elegant, and effortlessly romantic.


No matter the season, Merewood’s gardens offer endless opportunities for stunning photos, with beautifully landscaped grounds that shine in any weather. And if the rain makes an appearance, there are plenty of sheltered spots—both indoors and out—that provide the perfect backdrop. If you're planning your wedding at Merewood and want a photographer who knows the venue and surrounding area inside out, feel free to get in touch!
