Elmhay Park Wedding Photography - Anna & Chris
Anna and Chris’ wedding at Elmhay Park Weddings was sunny, relaxed, and full of proper feel-good energy from start to finish. With loads of outdoor space, laughter all day, and a crowd that clearly came ready to celebrate, it was such a joy to photograph. Alfie the dog fully stole the show too, including a legendary nap on Anna’s wedding dress during drinks reception. From timeless bridal styling to rustic florals and a lively evening, everything suited Elmhay Park perfectly. A brilliant Somerset wedding day with real moments in every direction.
Clearwell Castle Wedding Photography - Becky & Rob
Becky and Rob’s wedding at Clearwell Castle was the perfect mix of relaxed and full of personality. With castle interiors packed with character, loads of space for portraits, and thoughtful entertainment throughout the day, it’s easy to see why this Gloucestershire venue is such a favourite. Becky and Rob were total naturals in front of the camera, and hearing that their engagement shoot helped them feel at ease was exactly what I love to hear. From Carla the dog joining in with a chaperone to caricatures keeping guests entertained, the day had so many brilliant little touches. A proper Clearwell Castle wedding with warmth, fun, and plenty of heart.
The Swan Hotel Wedding Photography - Sam & Ella
Sam and Ella’s wedding at The Swan Hotel in Wells was the perfect blend of relaxed summer vibes and heartfelt moments. From a sun-drenched ceremony to golden hour portraits through the cobbled streets of Wells, every part of their day felt easy and joyful. The surprise arrival of their dog Nico during speeches was a show-stealing highlight that had everyone grinning. The venue’s charm, paired with the couple’s energy, made for a wedding that just felt right. It was one of those days that leaves you smiling long after it’s over.
