About Rackleys Chiltern Hills
Rackleys Chiltern Hills is a beautifully restored wedding barn set in seven acres of countryside near Cadmore End and Lane End. It combines the character of a traditional Buckinghamshire farm with a bright, contemporary interior, vaulted oak beams and wide views across the Chiltern Hills.
The barn and grounds give couples the freedom to hold the whole celebration in one place. Preparations, a civil ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening party can flow naturally without long journeys or awkward gaps in the day.
For wedding photography and videography, that variety is a real strength. The light-filled barn works beautifully throughout the day, while the courtyard, terrace, landscaped gardens and countryside provide distinct backdrops only a short walk apart.

Natural moments, countryside light and a brilliant party
Emily and Ryan’s wedding shows why Rackleys is such a rewarding venue to film. The barn feels warm and intimate during the ceremony, then the doors open into the gardens and countryside for a completely different atmosphere.
We only needed a short portrait walk around golden hour to create cinematic footage without taking them away from their guests for long. The rest of the film is built from real reactions, clear ceremony audio, speeches, laughter and the energy of the dance floor.

Advice from experience
My honest tips for a Rackleys wedding
Choose a tip to see why it matters and the part of the venue it relates to.
Keep ten to fifteen minutes free around golden hour. The countryside becomes particularly beautiful later in the day, and a short walk is usually enough to create standout photographs and cinematic footage without keeping you away from your guests.

Useful answers for your planning
Rackleys Chiltern Hills wedding FAQs
Practical details about the venue and booking your Rackleys wedding photographer or videographer.
Have you filmed a wedding at Rackleys before?
Yes. I have filmed a number of weddings at Rackleys and understand how the day moves between the preparation spaces, ceremony barn, courtyard, gardens and surrounding countryside. That venue knowledge helps me work efficiently while keeping the experience relaxed. Its also the venue that is most local to me!
How much does a Rackleys wedding videographer cost?
Pricing depends on the package, coverage and deliverables you choose. My packages page shows current wedding videography options, photography coverage and a combined photo and video package. You can also send me your date and plans for a tailored recommendation.
Can we book Rackleys wedding photography and videography together?
Yes. The combined package includes a dedicated photographer and a dedicated videographer who work together regularly. You make one booking and have one point of contact, while each professional remains focused on their own craft.
How many guests can Rackleys Chiltern Hills accommodate?
Rackleys advertises wedding celebrations for up to 120 guests. The best layout will depend on your ceremony and wedding breakfast plans, so confirm current capacities and arrangements directly with the venue team.
Can we have our ceremony at Rackleys Barn?
Rackleys is licensed for civil ceremonies, with options inside the oak-beamed barn and outdoors. The nearby St Mary-le-Moor church is another possibility for couples planning a church ceremony.
Is there accommodation at Rackleys?
Rackleys Farmhouse has six double en-suite bedrooms and a breakfast dining area overlooking the Chiltern Hills. Ask the venue team to confirm current availability, arrangements and what is included with your chosen date.
Where are the best places for wedding photos and video at Rackleys?
The barn, courtyard, terrace, landscaped gardens, wildflower areas and open countryside all offer distinct looks. I particularly recommend a short portrait window around golden hour when the light across the Chiltern Hills becomes softer and warmer.
Can you capture clear vows and speeches in the barn?
Yes. I use discreet professional microphones and multiple audio sources to capture vows, readings and speeches clearly. This is especially important in a large barn space, where relying on a camera microphone alone would not deliver the same result.
Can you include drone footage of Rackleys Chiltern Hills?
Drone footage may be included where permissions, weather and local flight conditions allow. The barn, gardens and countryside can create strong establishing shots, but safe and legal operation always comes first.
