Arriving at Braxted Park

Braxted Park is approached via an impressive tree-lined drive that creates a wonderful sense of occasion for couples and their guests. The journey through the parkland naturally builds anticipation before arriving at the house and provides a memorable introduction to the wedding day.

Allowing a little extra time before the ceremony helps create a relaxed arrival and gives photographers the opportunity to capture natural photographs before guests enter the venue.

When travelling in one of our landaulette wedding cars, the rear roof can often be lowered for the final approach, weather permitting, creating an elegant arrival and some beautiful photographic opportunities.

Wedding Photography at Braxted Park

Braxted Park offers a variety of opportunities to include your wedding car in your photographs throughout the day.

The sweeping approach, elegant frontage and surrounding grounds provide attractive backdrops for arrival photographs, family groups and portraits of the newly married couple. Many photographers also like to include the wedding car as part of the story of the day rather than simply as transport.

If time allows, consider setting aside a few extra minutes with your photographer before leaving the venue. These relaxed moments often produce some of the most memorable images from the day.

Wedding Transport Tips

Every wedding is different, but a little planning can help you make the most of your wedding transport.

• Allow sufficient time for your arrival.
• Discuss any special photographic requests with your chauffeur.
• Consider multiple journeys if members of the wedding party are travelling from different locations.
• If you have hired the car, make full use of it throughout the attendance period.

As we often say:

“If you’ve got us, use us!”

Nigel’s Venue Notes

Having attended weddings at Braxted Park over many years, one of the things I particularly enjoy is the final approach to the house. The drive through the parkland creates a real sense of anticipation for both the couple and their guests.

Where the weather allows, opening the rear roof of one of our landaulette wedding cars shortly before arriving adds another special touch. It creates a memorable arrival and gives photographers the opportunity to capture some wonderful natural images before the ceremony begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we have photographs with the wedding car?

Absolutely. We actively encourage couples to include the wedding car in their photographs throughout the day. Your chauffeur will be happy to position the vehicle where appropriate and, where time allows, assist with creating memorable photographs.

Yes. Where you have chosen one of our landaulette wedding cars, the rear roof can normally be opened or closed within a few seconds, weather permitting and at the chauffeur’s discretion. Many couples enjoy arriving at the venue with the roof open before closing it again if the weather changes.

Can you make multiple collections?

Yes. Subject to timings, locations and your chosen hire period, multiple journeys can often be accommodated. This allows members of the wedding party to share the experience and helps you make the most of your wedding car hire.
