I was thrilled to be booked to photograph Michelle and Duncan’s wedding, the smallest wedding I’ve done so far, with only six guests. The venue for the ceremony was St Michael’s Church, Burnett (near Keynsham), the smallest church I’ve ever seen and perfect for a tiny intimate wedding like theirs. The reception venue was the Woolley Grange Hotel in Bradford-on-Avon, literally just around the corner from my house so that was pretty handy too! Michelle arrived in a fabulous pillar box red car and looked stunning in her beautiful floaty wedding dress, with layers of light fabric and sparkly strap details she looked very elegant. Duncan and his brother, Dominic, looked great in their sharp suits too. The ceremony was very moving and it was wonderful to witness Michelle and Duncan’s love for each other as they exited the church and just held each other, eyes closed. They’ve been together for 13 years and have two children so there’s a deep bond between them which was clearly evident throughout the day. After a few photos including the all important ‘confetti shot’ it was off to Bradford-on-Avon for champagne on arrival served with some sunshine which everyone was pleased to see. We had some great light for their couples shots and Woolley Grange has some lovely settings for photographs; willow trees, an old fashioned walled garden and a large pond. Soon it was time for me to say my goodbyes as the family sat down to dinner, but they didn’t let me escape before I had to be the other side of the lens for a few quick snaps with the Bride and her Mum. Thank you Michelle and Duncan for inviting me to be a part of your intimate day, I felt very privileged and wish you both every happiness over the years to come.
I photographed Michelle and Duncan’s wedding across the counties of Somerset and Wiltshire. You can see further examples of my work in my wedding portfolio and if you’d like to book me for your wedding them please do get in touch.
