As a Dorset wedding photographer I’m able to capture your wedding photography within the magnificent grounds, with the Castle as the backdrop. I’m also able to take you to the beach for your photographs, as you would be allowed exclusive access to Lulworth Cove or Durdle Door. I hope you can see and imagine from my photographs here what an amazing backdrop this would make for your photographs for you and your guests.  You would also have plenty of options within the Castle itself. From a photographer’s point of view, this gives me plenty of options for photographs should the weather not be suitable for photographs outside…so you have several options for your wedding album photographs.

It is a truly stunning classic 17th Century Castle with a civil ceremony license for Lulworth Castle Weddings. I hope you can appreciate the backdrop I’m referring to from the exterior photographs included on this page.

There are numerous places for your guests to stay close by if you are attending Lulworth Castle Weddings. Within the Luworth Estate itself, they can offer luxurious cottage accommodation to camping options.

There are also numerous places close by. Wareham is about 3 miles away with the Priory Hotel or The Bear Hotel. You’re very close to Swanage with a couple of larger hotel accommodation such as The Pines Hotel or The Grand Hotel. 

There is also several smaller hotels and B&Bs in Swanage. If you’re looking for somewhere with a little more busy, there are large hotels in Bournemouth, Poole and the Sandbanks area such as the Sandbanks Hotel. There is also a large Travelodge in Poole within a short walking distance of the busy Poole Quay. 

In terms of parking, as you would imagine on an estate of this size, there is plenty of parking at Lulwort Castle.
