Bristol Wedding Photographer

 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. 

My first time being a Euridge Manor wedding photographer at this new local venue – and wow! It is a stunner! Unlike any other wedding venue, I’ve been to it is dripping with character and amazing architecture.  It looked like an exotic location in Italy from a James Bond film or the ruins of a castle in Indiana Jones! With a huge pond/lake, a hill with a bonfire on top, castle ruins and glamorous rooms to get ready and dine in – it was a wedding photographer’s dream. I had BIG expectations for Kate and Sammi’s wedding and the day blew me away. Working alongside Aaron from Reel Weddings it was fast-paced and full of action. Kate and Sammi had organised two amazing bands for the drinks reception and dancing.   My three favourite things about their wedding day were… The wedding party. So much fun and clearly great friends they did everything for Kate and Sammi and were huge fun to be around. My second favourite thing was the ceremony location. Outside, near the water and incred...

 Laura and Ben’s black tie wedding in Goldbrick house was a very classy affair. Right in the centre of Bristol, the family got ready at the Marriott hotel. It was great to see everyone getting ready and it also gave me a chance to slip between all of the rooms and photograph the anticipation in the Bridal suite and guys pulling on socks in the other! It was a lovely atmosphere, lots of banter, nervousness and plenty of excitement. Laura wore a beautiful, classic Nicola Anne England wedding gown complete with Rachel Simpson shoes. I found it really amusing how Laura’s serious preparation kept being interrupted by surprise romantic gifts from Ben. Firstly his brother bought in two dozen red roses. Next up, some cool Lego wedding mementoes and finally some beautiful diamond earrings. It was great to see Laura’s hair and makeup artist Kate Kelvin again. I’ve seen her a lot this year and I think she does the most incredible Job. Philippa Spearing bought along the blue, pink and white w...

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...

 Time to take a trip to sunny Tuscany now for Katie and Matthew’s Villa Podernovo wedding! The couple love Italy, especially Matthew who is an architect. It’s no wonder Katie and Matthew chose the magnificent San Galgano Abbey as the location for their wedding ceremony. Situated twenty-five miles west of Siena, the ancient ruin is almost seven hundred years old. I’ve been there twice before and it was great to be back! Getting ready for their Villa Podernovo wedding Katie and Matthew were super relaxed. Matthew is Australian and there were a few subtle nods to that throughout the day. See if you can spot the eucalyptus leaves in any of the photos. Katie’s stunning wedding dress from Made With Love Bridal was also Australian. The weather was perfect for the ceremony at San Galgano Abbey. Thankfully as the ruin is completely open to the skies. Katie arrived in a dinky vintage Fiat 500 wedding car. Many guests had travelled thousands of miles to be at the wedding, so that made the ce...

Cotswold pre-wedding shoots Getting engaged is such a special time! With so much to plan and organise a pre-wedding shoot is a great way for couple to relax and celebrate together. The perfect setting for capturing the most beautiful photographs has to be The Cotswolds. Running through five counties this part of the world oozes romance and is quintessentially British. Narrowing down my favourite locations in was pretty tricky, but here they are… Castle Combe  It’s impossible to talk about the Cotswolds without immediately thinking of pretty villages with golden stone houses and charming winding lanes. Set in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Castle Combe’s main street is the perfect place to take an evening stroll for your Cotswolds pre  One of the great things about the Cotswolds is you’re never far from a stream or a river. So there are bridges aplenty! At beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water there are four that span the River Windrush, so you will be spoilt for cho...
