We had a great day at St. Audries with Phil and Tina. starting in the morning with Celfie with the hair and makeup, then Eden, the florist, arrived with the bouquets. We captured some wonderful pictures of the girls and boys getting ready. A memorable moment was when Tina's dad visited her early on. The weather was a bit wet in the morning, so umbrellas were required!

The ceremony took place in the orangery and went smoothly. We took confetti and group shots in the orangery due to the weather. Later, we moved outside for bridal party pictures and some stunning shots of Tina and Phil. KB Videography worked alongside me all day!

During the speeches a surprise as singing waiters entertained everyone and lifted the energy. After the speeches, we took Tina and Phil outside for more pictures since the weather had improved. We then proceeded to the cake cutting, made by Dreams and Wishes. and first dance with Geoff from Somerset Wedding DJ Services. As the the sun went sown, we were able to do sparkler photos outside. then some blue flash pictures! these nighttime shots a last opportunity before the late summer evenings!

Its Wedding Fair Season!

A busy time of year with so much planning and excitement about 2024 weddings and beyond! Have you got all your suppliers yet?

The Fair at Dunster Tithe Barn was a great success with many people looking to book, this weekend I am at St Audries Open day on Sunday 28^th and the week after at The Castle Taunton Wedding Fair!

Hope to see you at one of these upcoming events for a chat about you day and the possibilities, there will be so many quality supplier options available to suit everyone! As well as things you may not have even thought about!

 

A few things to think about your wedding photography:

Apart from pictures of you both, what is the most important picture you want to capture on the day?

How important are groups shots to you?

What areas of the venue would you say are important to include in your photo’s?

Would you like all the pictures outside or a mixture with inside being included?

Please ask me anything when I see you at the fairs but also via email or just over the phone!

Welcome to my new look website! There are now venue specific pages from just some of my 2023 weddings! Here you'll see a selection from St.Audries, Crowcombe Court, Quantock Lakes, Mount Edgcumbe and Taunton School - where I am very pleased to be a recommended photographer! 

Thank you to all of my couples for making this possible, it has been an amazing journey with you all since 2007 and I can't wait for more! 

If you haven't already noticed - I specialise in Natural Candid Photography! On the day, I will of course capture a wide variety of images - from group shots, (which you can specify) the beautiful details of your chosen decoration, a big focus on pictures of you both of course; moving through to the evening with potential for sunsets and night-time flash photography! This is a personal favourite of mine too, pop across to the portfolio to have a look at some of these and you'll understand why!
