Matara Wedding Photography

I’m Allister Freeman, a professional Gloucestershire wedding photographer with almost two decades of experience, welcome to my Matara wedding photography page.

Matara, part of the Kingscote Park estate in Gloucestershire is a very unique and special wedding venue. It comes in three distinct parts – The Matara Centre, the Kingscote Park House and the Gardens of Well Being which all add a different dimension to your day.

Matara embraces ‘alternative’ ceremonies and offers great flexibility and tranquillity for those couples not looking for a typical English wedding. Of course, it can cater to traditional ceremonies too, but it really comes into its own with ceremonies like Hand-fasting or Humanist celebrations. It’s also a particularly good venue for those wishing to minimise the environmental impact of their day as the complex prides itself on its a minimal environmental impact. Couples can even plant their own tree in the grounds as part of a wider regeneration project underway on site.

I’ve worked with Siobhan and Matthew several times after their wedding and I’m reminded each time of just what a great couple they are. I was made to feel so welcome and accepted that it was a privilege to join them for their day. Here are a few of my favourite shots…
