Venue Guide · Chiswick, West London
Asian Wedding Photographer at Chiswick House and Gardens
A neo-Palladian villa with formal eighteenth-century gardens, and one of the most photogenic settings in West London for both weddings and pre-wedding shoots. We have shot both here.

Architecture that does the work for you
The classical facade, the conservatory and the formal gardens give a range of backdrops within a short walk of each other — useful when the portrait window is tight.
Best light
Late afternoon is the window. The formal gardens face into good evening light, and the villa's stonework warms up rather than going flat.
Pre-wedding shoots
Chiswick House is one of our regular pre-wedding locations. It photographs as somewhere considerably grander than the time it takes to get there from central London.
Access and permits
Chiswick House and Gardens is a managed heritage site with its own rules on commercial photography. We handle permissions in advance so nobody is negotiating with a warden on the day.
