This weekend, we’ll be attending the Ashton Court “Classic Weddings” Open Day, with doors open from 11-6pm. We’re big fans of Ashton Court. The main music room (above) is a stunning space, ideal for ceremonies and / or for the wedding breakfast, and with separate bar space and room to greet guests, this is an ideal venue whatever the weather. If you can use the parkland outside the front door there are so many great photo opportunities that you’ll be spoilt for choice. Continue reading »

Big congratulations to all the couples who announced engagements over Christmas! It is a lovely time to get engaged as it also starts a year (or more!) of planning. At times it will feel as though you have a jobs list as long as your arm, but we really do recommend that you aim enjoy every moment of the build up. When you look back on your day, all the planning and preparation will be part of the memories, so enjoy the venue visits, the cake sampling, the dress fittings, the pre-wed photo shoots, etc – its all part of your amazing day! Do give us a call to talk about photography; its good to have a conversation before your plans are too set in stone as we have lots of experience that can help your planning & decision making. We are are available for wedding photography commissions across the UK, as well as Bath, Bristol and the Cotswolds – call us now to start the conversation!

Lots of our couples focus on the spontaneous, fun shots and these are lovely. But we also recommend a few minutes away from the maddening crowd to capture some intimate, more thoughtful images. Sometimes, a moment of stillness can make the most delightful pictures, especially when in a beautiful setting. The perfect wedding album has to blend the formality with informality, movement and stillness, reportage with posed family groups. This picture is almost a trademark shot for me: I love the reflection and thought in the picture, love the lines and the way the building frames the image – and lovely light too. I do love black & white but for me, this has to be in colour, even though the colour palette is quite muted.
