Pennard House, Somerset — Cinematic Wedding Videography by Pixaplace Weddings

If you’re tying the knot at Pennard House in East Pennard, Somerset, our Pixaplace Weddings team will craft a cinematic, story-led film that celebrates this Georgian manor, its gardens and the characterful Coach House—from morning prep to last dance.


Why Pennard House looks incredible on film

Pennard House is a family-owned Georgian manor with secluded gardens, wildflower meadows and a beautifully converted 18th-century Coach House for dining and dancing—perfect for natural, elegant visuals. The estate offers indoor and outdoor licensed ceremony spaces, and there’s also a picturesque 14th-century village church just beyond the garden if you prefer a church service.


Capacities & flow: The Coach House typically seats 60–120 guests for the wedding breakfast and accommodates up to ~180 standing in the evening—ideal for lively speeches and a full dancefloor. We plan our camera positions around the two floors, the bar and the dance area for seamless coverage.


Stay on site: The house includes 13 bedrooms (commonly sleeping around 26 guests), so core family and friends can make a relaxed weekend of it.


Where it is: Pennard House, East Pennard, Shepton Mallet, Somerset BA4 6TP.


Our filming approach at Pennard House

  • Cinematic + documentary blend: True-to-life storytelling with refined composition and colour that fits manor interiors, gardens and the Coach House timber tones.

  • Discreet, well-timed coverage: We coordinate with the venue team so transitions (house → gardens → Coach House) feel effortless for you and your guests.

  • Broadcast-level audio: Redundant mics and recorders on vows, readings and speeches—clean, clear sound in every edit.

  • Low-light mastery: Subtle lighting for evening scenes in the Coach House; we preserve the atmosphere while keeping skin tones flattering.

  • Weather-smart plans: If outdoor vows move inside, we re-stage beautiful alternatives in licensed indoor rooms without disrupting your day.

Timeline tips (Somerset-specific light & logistics)

  1. Golden hour: Reserve 15–20 minutes near sunset for portraits by the lawns, meadows and Coach House exterior.

  2. Speech soundcheck: We sync with venue/PA early; we still run our own recorders for redundancy.

  3. Plan B charm: Indoor ceremony spaces at Pennard House film beautifully if weather moves you inside.

  4. Two-day feel: With on-site accommodation for your core group, consider a relaxed supper the night before for extra story beats in your film.
