I took this photo in the Bath Registry Office last September. The groom was in the Alkmaar Room, waiting for all the guests to assemble, while the bride waited in reception for the registrar to call her in. The bride and her uncle (who was giving her away) were just practicing to walk festively in sync, when the registrar turned up and watched them for a while, before calling her in.
This Saturday everybody remembers. It was the only (Satur-) day in July we had hideous amounts of rain. Thankfully only for the first half of the day though – I have never been so glad to see the weather forecast being incorrect!
When I arrived at Chrissy’s house in the morning, the sky was back and the rain dense. The bride to be and her family stayed fairly relaxed about these unchangeable circumstances and magically pulled out ten white umbrellas. My second shooter Agne, who covered the boy’s preparations found them in equally good spirits. The rain was pounding on the roof of Kingswood Chapel during the wedding ceremony but magically stopped and turned into the most glorious sunshine the moment the couple emerged from the Chapel for their confetti shot. The rest of the day everyone enjoyed the beautiful setting of the nearby Summerhill Mansion and everyone agreed, the day couldn’t have turned out more perfect!

You are a true artist! We are so happy with the photos! In fact couldn’t be more happier!! Thank you so much, Mike and Claire
When I first met Claire and Mike I got very excited as I have always wanted to photograph a wedding at the Holburne Museum in Bath. And I didn’t leave the day disappointed! The museum is such a stunning and unusual setting for a wedding ceremony (the ceremony took place in the Brownsword Gallery), just beautiful! And that was not all: Mike and Claire chose Brittons Farm Estate as their reception venue so that’s where Claire got ready and that’s where we headed back to after the ceremony. A magician kept everyone entertained, the farm provided their own home reared lamb and we even managed a few night time sparkler shots at the end of the evening. All in all it was a fabulous wedding to be part of and to photograph!

In Part 1 you saw how Paula & Richard got married at the Taunton Registry Office on a Friday beginning of May. This blog post is about their Saturday celebrations at beautiful Huntstile Organic Farm. I went over in the late morning to see Paula and her family getting ready. Huntstile has quite a few rooms so everyone can get ready in a different corner. Of course it took the boys less than ten minutes to be suited and booted.
I joined Richard and the guests on the tractor pulled hanger on their way up to the stone circle. Paula followed in the owner’s four by four. The outdoor ceremony was emotional, witnessed by lots of friends & family, and most importantly it was officiated by two of their closest friends. While most of the guests chose to take the tractor back down the hill, a few guests walked with Richard, Paula and I.
Back at the farm, the drinks reception was soon followed by the wedding breakfast and three of the funniest, most eloquent and touching speeches I have ever heard. Actually the best man’s speech was a video recorded speech as he had been travelling the world at the time of the wedding. A video camera pointed at the wedding guests recorded their response to the speech which was sent back to the best man.
I finished the day with documenting the first dance, some pretty amazing live Argentine Tango (the bride’s aunt!) and some romantic outdoor shots of Paula & Richard.

My time with Paula & Richard was epic which is why I am splitting my blog post into two parts. They had their marriage celebrations spread over two days: the marriage ceremony at the Taunton registry office on a Friday, followed by a beautiful outdoor ceremony on a hilltop at Huntstile Organic Farm on Saturday with all their wedding guests, friends and family, and they had two of their close friends officiating the ceremony.
I only spent a few hours with them on Friday so here are my favourite photographs from their wedding ceremony in Taunton, followed by the drinks reception at The Castle. Look at this wisteria! I have never seen anything like it and doing it justice with my little camera was a challenge!
