Macdonald Hotel Windsor Wedding Photography

Macdonald Windsor Hotel is one of those venues where location does a huge amount of the storytelling for you, and from a photographer’s point of view, it’s hard to beat. Sitting right in the heart of Windsor, just moments from the Castle, Macdonald Windsor Hotel offers couples a wonderfully iconic backdrop without ever feeling over-the-top.

Step outside the hotel and you’re immediately surrounded by history. Windsor Castle, the cobbled streets and the energy of the town create fantastic opportunities for relaxed, natural portraits that feel genuinely connected to the place you’re getting married. A short wander opens up even more options, from quieter corners near the Castle walls to the Long Walk and Great Park for something a little more cinematic.

Inside, the hotel’s elegant interiors provide a calm contrast to the buzz outside, giving a lovely balance to the photographic story of the day. Light-filled rooms, stylish details and a smooth flow between spaces make photographing here feel effortless.

Add in a friendly, experienced team who understand weddings and keep everything running seamlessly, and it’s easy to see why the Macdonald Windsor Hotel is such a popular choice for couples wanting timeless, story-led images.

My favourite backdrop for photography opportunities is definitely on the surrounding cobbled streets of Windsor itself! In every direction you have the absolute wow factor, then there’s the magical castle.
