Cheylesmore Manor House The remnants of a medieval royal palace in Coventry now the perfect venue for weddings! It is thought that it was built for the Earl of Arundel in 1237.

The remnants of a medieval royal palace in Coventry city centre, the gatehouse of Cheylesmore Manor is at the heart of the city on New Union Street. The magnificent timber building it is one of the few remnants of Coventry's rich and important heritage. The building used to be the only unfortified royal palace outside London and is now better known as the Register Office, being the oldest building

in the country to hold that function. By 1320 it had passed to Queen Isabella, wife of Edward II, along with the lavish Cheylesmore Park that surrounded it. Her son Edward, the Black Prince, took possession of it after her. It was described as 'somewhat in ruin' in the 16th century and suffered from Coventry's lack of royal support in the Civil War period. The building we know today is, in fact, only the gatehouse and parts of two cross wings to the original manor house. After restoration work, the building opened as a register office in 1968.

Nobody is looking at the camera - And that's the whole point.

Twenty years from now, they won't remember where I was standing.
They won't remember what lens I used.
They probably won't even remember taking this photograph.

But they'll remember this moment.

The laugh.
The conversation.
The feeling of finally being married.

That's what makes a wedding photo worth keeping.

Nobody remembers what was said as they walked back down the aisle.

But they remember exactly how it felt.

The relief.
The excitement.
The smiles from family and friends.

The moment when being engaged becomes being married.

This was captured at Cheylesmore Manor House , just seconds after they said "I do".

No posing. No direction.

Just a real moment that they'll never get back.
