Samuel & Bethanie Wedding at Priston Mill

On Friday 27th July I captured the #wedding of Samuel and Bethanie at Priston Mill nr Bath. With the sun shining, it was set to be one of the hottest days of the year so far. My day started with Bethanie at Rafford Villa, a lovely Manor house just outside of Timsbury. Upon my arrival the bridesmaids were busy with hair and make-up. Beth showed me where her dress was along with shoes and a special present that Sam had got her. Once I captured my detail shots I saw Beth start to have her hair styled followed by her make-up. Time went really fast and soon I had to leave to capture Priston Mill empty.
Sam was running to time and was already at the venue when I arrived with his groomsmen. Once all the button holes were in, I got a shot of all the gents together. Guests started to arrive and a few started playing with the garden games. I managed to see mum and the bridesmaids arrive in a white luxurious Rolls-Royce, the car when back to pick up Beth and her dad. Guests started to take their seats in the wedding ceremony room and the floral displays were incredible a truly magnificent job by the wild bunch. Beth and her dad arrived shortly after and the hair dresser was in hand to put the Vale in. All final details were complete and the bridal party started walking up the aisle, the moment Beth walked up the aisle Sam's reaction on first sight was amazing. The wedding all went to plan with 3 readings and the Bristol string quartet performing during the aisle walks and signing.
The drinks reception began with Sam and Beth having a drive for half an hour while guests got welcome drinks and canapes. The garden games were also out and enjoyed by everybody. When Sam and Beth returned Adam the photographer set up a big confetti shot and the group pictures. I managed to capture the wedding breakfast room details before getting romantic shots of the happy couple. The speeches followed the BBQ wedding breakfast and the cutting if the cake, I must say I enjoyed each of the speakers. The best man smashed his speech giving us a great insight into Sam in the kindest possible way.
My evening began with getting special guest messages from family and friends. There was a photo booth area and the wedding players provided the entertainment. After the first dance everybody danced the night away to a number of floor filler hits. Congratulations Sam and Beth x

On Friday 3rd August I captured the #wedding of Craig and Catherine at St Andrew church and Coombe Lodge . It was a lovely day with he sun shining and temperatures were very warm. My day started at Coombe Lodge with Catherine and her bridesmaid's. Catherine was having her hair sorted while the beauty spot sorted out make-up for the bridesmaids. There was a lot of detail in the room to capture with the dresses, shoes, jewelry and a picture of Catherine's mum. Craig also was getting ready at Coombe Lodge and after capturing a few final prep shots I headed to St Andrews church.  A few guests arrived before Craig and his groomsmen arrived, there was only a little time to get a group shot of the groomsmen before more guests arrived.

During the wedding there were a couple of readings from guests and a lovely address from th...

On Saturday 3rd November I captured the #wedding of Sean and Anna at Tortworth Court . It was a cloudy day and a light wind in the air. My day started with Anna and her bridal party. Helen Farely stylist was sorting out hair and Anna was having her make-up applied. One bridesmaid helped sort out all the dresses and I was able to capture a lovely shot along with all the shoes and jewelry. Once Anna had her hair styled one of the bridesmaids popped open a bottle of bubbly and everybody had a big cheers shot. I went to see Sean and his best men who were on the final stages of preparations, everybody was relaxed and helping each other out especially when it came to the button holes. Once all the gents were ready we went outside for a few group shots and the best men had found a bottle of Prosecco to pop open.
