So just what is important when you are planning your Bristol Military wedding?
“Above all we decided that details weren’t important. All anybody remembers about a wedding is whether they had a good time. The most important thing to us was bringing together the family and a really good bunch of close friends for a really awesome party.”
Sounds good to me.
Before we get to the good stuff I’m supposed to say things like Square Club wedding photography and mention that we are Bristol wedding photographers. So now that’s out of the way let’s hear what Dave and Caroline have to say about their Military wedding at The Square Club in Bristol (see what I did there?)
I love Berkley Castle wedding photography. Who wouldn’t love photographing weddings in a castle? Matt & Howard were married on one of the hottest days of the year. Their day was one to remember. Berkeley Castle is a stunning venue. Set in 6000 acres it is one of very few inhabited Castles in the UK. It is still home to the family that built it.
Relaxed, decadent, hints of the 1930’s and pineapples were the inspiration for Matt & Howard’s Berkeley Castle wedding.
This was our second wedding at Wellington Barn. Our first at St. Mary’s church. St. Mary’s is a beautiful little church tucked away down a lane just by the Barn. It’s small but can hold 80 guests so can cope with most weddings. Wellington Barn is a fantastic modern barn set in gorgeous rolling Wiltshire countryside. Emily & Andrew booked us as their Wiltshire wedding photographers after they found us on Fearless Photographers.
Fate brought Amy & Keith together. Although they weren’t local to each other and Amy had her Tinder radar set to local. Keith happened to be visiting his best mate Mike nearby. As luck would have it, Keith had a quick browse and cupid’s arrow struck home. 3 years later and they chose to have a Birtsmorton Court wedding. They chose us for their wedding photographers as we had photographed their friends George and Simon’s wedding and had taken a photo of them both dancing which became Amy’s favourite.
“This is where the marquee is going and we are going to arrive on a tractor, probably set to music, through that gate you can see over there.” I looked across the fields and imagined what a beautiful countryside wedding this would be. Standing in the garden Amy explained her plans, they were going to build steps up from the field to the garden where the marquee would look out across Wiltshire. All the guests would be seated on straw bales as they greeted the newlyweds and drank champagne. That was the plan anyway.
Stanbrook Abbey is a stunning wedding venue in Worcester. We were here for the second time photographing a wedding at this former monastery. The dramatic architecture provides a gorgeous setting. It makes being a wedding photographer easy and the staff are great too. When people ask us which is our favourite wedding venue we always tell them it’s not the venue, the people are most important. Stanbrook Abbey wedding photography is a joy.
Sarah & mark were married at Mark’s parent’s home in Seend, Wiltshire. It was a gorgeous garden marquee wedding with fireworks and ending with a rock ‘n’ roll bride.
I love to get up close and mingle with the guests at a wedding. To really get in the mix because that way you can really see what your guests were feeling. How much they enjoyed the day and all the little quirky things that they do. Weddings generally follow a certain format; they flow the same way. The thing that makes a wedding unique is the couple and the guests so I like to get right in the middle so that I can show the uniqueness in each wedding day. Joe and Sarah chose a beautiful wedding venue in Gloucestershire – Elmore Court – for their wedding.
Fay & Chris came over from Australia to have a Christmas wedding at the Vermont, Newcastle where they met at Uni. The Vermont is a fantastic hotel situated right next door to the New Castle from which the city gets it’s name. We love Winter wedding photography, especially Christmas weddings it’s a special time of year. Add to that the joy of a wedding and it makes for a magical day.
People hardly notice us. We don’t set things up. We don’t work from “must have” lists. We don’t do what the venue tells us “everyone does.” We stay hidden in plain sight. It’s fairly intense for us, we work each situation and remain switched on all day. We’re always on the hunt for moments. A lot of the time our couples don’t realise we were there until they see the images.
