Forest Wedding Photography - Albert Palmer

So this is the story all about how my life got twisted upside down at Millie and Matt’s wedding. As Mother Nature would have it the heat wave of 2018 got interrupted by a little thunderstorm. They had planned a forest wedding near Millie’s childhood home in Gloucestershire. For months they had been clearing a spot in the woodland for the ceremony and this gets a BIG thumbs up from me.

However, the night before they decided to make a cover for the woodland spot. Just as well because the weather went from being sunny and blue skies to torrential rain. People often ask me what happens if it rains on my wedding day? And I always answer with ‘well, it never rains all day!’ Well on Millie and Matt’s wedding that remained true but I also found out a little about myself. Firstly, I discovered that I love a rainy wedding!

I got soaked!

I walked around for a good 8 hours of the day with soaking feet and a big smile on my face.




What did I love about the rain? Well it completely mixed things up for me. I’m very much a ‘people’ photographer and love capturing unexpected and fun moments. As you’ll see from the photos in this blog post there are lots of these! Rather than it being a case of ‘what do I do now?’ I just embraced the opportunity and included it as part of the story.


Since their woodland wedding I’ve had a few other rainy weddings in Somerset and the South of France and I wholeheartedly embraced them! They bring an extra dynamic to the mix and it certainly doesn’t mean you get bad photos.

Southend Barns Wedding Photography - Albert Palmer

One of the good things to come from a quiet time of year is that I finally have time to catch up on my blogging! Today we’re heading back to Jacky & David’s wedding. They got married at St Mary’s Church before heading on to Southend Barns wedding venue. They lucked out with a beautiful day in August which ended with the prettiest of sunsets. It was my first time at Southend Barns although Jacky and Dave found me through a recommendation from this wedding at Upwaltham Barns. Not only did they have a fab Cadillac wedding car their little dog attended the wedding ceremony. Looking at these wedding photos now quickly brings back all the memories of the day. The guys smoking cigars, playing law games, eating amazing food (and cake!) Whilst ‘at work’ I’m always trying to find unique wedding photos and I struck gold! One of my favourite images is of the couple asleep together on an outdoor sofa. It had been a long day and after the wedding breakfast these two crashed out in each others ar...

Pembroke Lodge Wedding — Albert Palmer

 I return to Pembroke Lodge every year for a London wedding. Since I haven’t blogged very many since this Pembroke Lodge winter wedding I thought I’d share a sunnier blinder! A few of my favourite photos from Krystal and Luke’s wedding. I have to say a big shout out to bridesmaid Pinar for recommending me from her beautiful wedding at Falconhurst Estate . I started at Krystal’s sisters (beautiful) home with everyone getting ready. We then headed off to Pembroke Lodge for the ceremony in The Belvedere. The beauty of this room is the amount of light that floods in as well as the proximity to the terrace (for drinks and views!) I hadn’t met either Krystal or Luke before, but boy was I in for a treat! Literally my dream couple. Starting with a shout out to Luke’s suit! Pretty similar to my own wedding suit – that blue looked so good! He was relaxed all day, through the ceremony, couple photos, possibly even the speeches! All day he was beaming. Since the sun shone so brightly we took ...
