Yesterday I photographed Anna & Jason’s wedding ceremony at the Guildhall in Bath, followed by the reception at the Holburne Museum. I don’t know why but this kind of moment happens rather a lot!
The couple as well as their guests ( and the registrar) had a good laugh when Jason just could not get Anna’s wedding ring on her finger (he succeeded eventually) – the faces say it all! Why are some rings so stubborn to get onto a finger? Maybe it had to do with the summer heat. Or nervous sweaty hands.
In any case it makes for a great photographic moment and I sure am ready and in position well in time for the crucial ring exchange moment.

Sandra and Paul tied the knot last Sunday at the Roman Baths and we made time for a quick picture in Bath’s umbrella street. 🙂

Hi Betty, I hope you and bump are well, thank you again for all your hard work on our wedding day, so many guests commented on how lovely you were!! Thank you so much for these photo’s we love them!! Thanks, Netty & Chris
Jeanette and Chris got married at beautiful Bishopstrow Hotel (20 miles south of Bath) just a few days before Christmas. Jeanette and Chris came all the way from Sydney where they live to celebrate their wedding in the wintry UK. I LOVE Christmas weddings as venues are decorated with loads of beautiful lights, Christmas trees and mistletoe – all very photogenic items! But of course winter weddings require careful planning as daylight is short and the weather is too cold for outside group shots. So as you can see in this example we made use of the decorations and used one of the venue’s rooms for our group shots. With the help of my two studio lights and the furniture moved out of the way, we managed to get as many as 19 people in one group shot! I have got to say this venue is great for weddings as it offers the bride and groom loads of space to celebrate, a library (which housed the photo booth), a drawing room (which I used for the group shots) and plenty more space for people to mingle.
A little bit about the day: both Jeanette and Chris got ready at the venue and the ceremony took place late in the afternoon. It was followed by mulled wine for the drinks reception and a tasty Christmas themed three course meal. The speeches were hilarious and in multiple languages, the sparklers plentiful and the first dance immensely impressive. All this was followed by probably the funniest moment: the groom removing the bride’s garter with his teeth, you must not miss those pictures! All in all it was easily the most beautiful and best organised Christmas wedding I ever had the pleasure to photograph!
Thanks for making it to the end of this post!

2015 was yet again an amazing year for me and you cannot believe how difficult it is to select a relatively small amount of images from 25 amazing weddings! I was privileged enough to experience a great variety of weddings, from the complete DIY back garden wedding to a ceremony in the grand Bath Abbey, from a tying-the-knot-ceremony to a multi-national wedding in Poole. I certainly did not get bored! I met some amazing people and many new friends. I learned TONS and got very, very inspired. 2016 will have a different pace and bring some big changes for many reason about which I will write when the time is right. All exciting things though! So now enjoy and thanks if you were one of my couples or one of the many other talented wedding suppliers I had the pleasure to work alongside!
And if you’re interested, here is the link to the best of 2014 pictures.
Phew, you deserve a free drink if you have made it this far. Thanks for making it to the end and roll on 2016!

Camille and Nick will be getting married at the end of January and we took some engagement portraits just before Christmas. Scroll down to see how we achieve the ring on the nose shot and what went wrong!
And this is what happens when you balance a wedding ring on a dog’s nose …Â it was Camille’s idea to do this and thankfully she remained very relaxed when the ring fell … between the concrete patio slabs! Quick thinking and teamwork got the ring back out in no time thankfully!!
