Orchardleigh wedding – monochrome theme

May 17, 2013
Jess and Ed from Bristol decided to get married at Orchardleigh which is one of my favourite wedding venues in Somerset and the one I photograph at very often. The couple chose the vintage monochrome as their wedding theme which I haven’t seen it before and I personally really like it.The bride’s impressive dress and the groomsmen suits were supplied by Anne Harding – Bristol premier Bridal specialist.The candle lit ceremony was held at St.Marys Church Orchardleigh which is part of  estate  and just short drive from the Orchardleigh house. The church enjoys the unique setting of being at the edge of a lake with a moat around the church, so it is often referred to as the church on the island.

The drink reception was held outside the house followed by the group pictures and the rest of their “monochrome” wedding story you can see it below.

“Having met Martin a couple of times before the wedding, and particularly for the pre-wedding shoot, we felt immediately at ease as soon as he arrived. He captured some stunning moments throughout our day and while he directed us to all the right places, remained completely unobtrusive. The photos he has produced for us will allow us to cherish the memories of our spectacular day, forever. We are forever grateful for his time and hard work and would both use him again and thoroughly recommend him to all.”  Jess & Ed

Castle Combe wedding photography

May 10, 2013

 

The Manor House Hotel in the picture postcard village of Castle Combe in the Cotswolds, was an amazing setting for Rosie & Peter’s beautiful English wedding.

As a hotel and wedding venue, Castle Combe is stunning, the Manor itself is complimented by a number of cottages which make the hotel literally part of the village itself, which has been untouched since the 17th Century.

The ceremony was held at St Andrew’s, a pretty church just around the corner from the hotel and the reception was hold in an impressive The Dunstanville Suite. The party was awesome thanks to The Moon Loungers who kept the dance floor packed all night.

Clevedon Hall wedding photography

April 26, 2013

 

Clevedon Hall  in Somerset was a perfect wedding venue for Kate & Owen to tie the knot. Clevedon Hall is a magnificent Victorian mansion and one of the grandest wedding venues in the South West. We started the day at Kate’s parents’ house in Nailsea, where bridesmaids and the bride were pick up by a 1921 vintage Ford from the Triggols’ Vintage cars.

The ceremony was held in the main room which is beautifully lit and there is also viewing balcony which was a great place for my second photographer to get the shoots from a different angle. After the ceremony the guests were mingling on the large lawns, while me and Andrew from Triggols “hijacked” the couple to take some pictures by Clevedon Pier.

Between the speeches and cutting of the cake there was short break and a great opportunity to take some shots just before the sunset. This is my favourite time of the day to photograph as the quality of light is just gorgeous.

Luckily enough there was a festival in Clevedon that night with a fireworks display, so we had some unexpected firework pictures at the end of the night!

“Martin was our wedding photographer at Clevedon Hall and we thought he was fantastic throughout. We have just received our wedding album and it is beautiful – he put a lot of work into the storybook photo layout, and we are really pleased with the result. Many of our guests also said what a friendly photographer he was, and the pre-wedding photo shoot was an excellent way to get to know him and his photography style. Also enjoyed the evening photo booth which gave us some lovely, fun photos from the day. Definitely would recommend for that special touch on your wedding day.”   Kate & Owen

stunning!! you captured all the moments

My wedding venue - April 30, 2013 - 2:43 pm

I adore the way that in your series, we, like the groom, don’t get to see a full-face shot of the bride until she’s walking up the altar – that’s genius. Even just scrolling down the page, you’re building up this massive sense of anticipation… and then beautiful bride is revealed!

Rosie - May 3, 2013 - 4:06 pm

Stunning photo’s capturing a stunning day

Melody - May 6, 2013 - 3:32 pm

You’ve really captured the emotion of the day. Nice work.

St Audries Park winter wedding

April 18, 2013
St Audries Park in Somerset was a setting for another fantastic winter wedding. St Audries wedding venue is situated within 100 acres of tranquil deer park, overlooking the rolling Quantock Hills and the Bristol Channel beyond. This fairytale manor house provides the perfect setting for your wedding day and was also the perfect choice for Dan and Aneisha.
We started the day in the spacious Bridal suite, where Aneisha was getting ready together with her lovely and joyful nieces who came all the way from Holland to play the role. After a few fun shots with the groom and his groomsmen outside the venue, all the guests made their way to the Victorian Orangery for the wedding ceremony.

The ceremony was very touching and after the guests had a chance to throw confetti at the newly wed couple while the couple made their entrance on the stylish staircase inside the manor house. After a lovely wedding breakfast and the very touching speeches, the party began. The energy was great and I had so much fun photographing guests dancing, while my second photographer was running a photo – booth in the Piano room.

Before we left we took some evening shoots with the couple, which is a “must” at every wedding venue which is lit so beautifully like St Audries Park.
