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.

La Cabane Beach Club Wedding - Albert Palmer

 My first La Cabane Beach Club wedding and it was a scorcher! Megan and Gary decided on a wedding in Marbella because it’s a place they spend a lot of time. It’s a really beautiful part of Spain and the travel happily coincided with my Mas Torroella wedding photography in the North of Spain. The day started out at the 5 star Hotel Los Monteros where Megan and Gary both got ready. Megan wore a Kate Fearnley veil. The ceremony was held at Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación. It is a church like no other I have visited! Whilst the architecture inspires a serious atmosphere the priest was extremely friendly and welcoming. There were plenty of laughs during the ceremony and it was great to photograph. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the ceremony although I shouldn’t have worried as it followed a pretty traditional catholic mass.

Yorebridge House Wedding Photography - Albert Palmer

Gemma and Ricky recommended me to Amy & Phil after their wedding at Casa Cornacchi. I had a blinding drive up to North Yorkshire with amazing views. I love visiting new wedding venues and exploring new areas. Yorebridge House wedding photography was made all the more easier by incredible views and epic weather. It’s such a beautiful part of the world and I had blast! They got married at Askrigg Church. The children of the village stuck to tradition and tied the church gates closed. The traditions that the bride and groom have to pay the children sweets to untie the gates. I don’t see this at enough weddings although I guess you need a village of children who are free on a Saturday to make it work! Guests then travelled from the church to Yorebridge House on a big London double decker bus. They chose they venue because they love the outdoors of North Yorkshire and it is close to where Amy grew up. We had an incredible time and I remember the speeches which were epic! A massive than...
