My Wedding Photography Story – Part 17
Our last wedding in 2014 was in August, to record the wedding blessing of Ben and Lucy at Miskin Manor in South Wales, UK. The couple lived in Dubai so were already married, but wanted a wedding ceremony to celebrate their marriage with friends and family.

On into July and the marriage of Pete and Susie. The wedding was in two locations. They were getting married in a church near Wedmore in Somerset before moving on to continue their wedding celebrations at a village hall, on the Somerset levels, with caterers providing the wedding breakfast.

On into April 2014 and the wedding of Andrew and Jennifer. They were getting married in their local church, where they were members of the congregation, and then holding a reception at Thornbury Golf Club. Jen’s mum and dad had been married in the same church, on the same date, thirty four years before.

Our second wedding of 2014 was in late March. Tim and Charmaine were getting married at a hotel near Frome, Somerset. The wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast were to be held at the same venue, making life easier for me.

I shot two further weddings in 2013. I thought we’d been busier than that, although we did have lots of future bookings for 2014. In June I shot Ben and Sarah’s wedding at the Holiday Inn, Filton, Bristol.

Our first wedding of 2013 was in January of that year. The Bride, Nicola, had been a bridesmaid at a wedding I photographed in 2012 and booked me, for her wedding, following that ceremony.

Reviewing our first wedding photography year
Having shot our last wedding of 2012 it was time to look back and assess how it had gone and where I wanted to go with my wedding photography. We’d gone into the year with about 50% of the weddings we worked on booked, the other 50% were late or short notice bookings. Going into 2013 I hadn’t advertised anywhere other than the work intranet. I was still getting regular enquiries, via word of mouth or being booked on recommendations by my clients from 2012. That was really nice, and encouraging.

The one with the stroppy Church Warden.
A late booking to shoot Luke and Ashleigh’s wedding meant our final wedding of 2012 would be in November at Aust, South Gloucestershire. Luke had ties to the church there and the couple very much wanted a church wedding, which was followed by a reception at The Grange Hotel in Winterbourne.

The one with the Videographers.
October and the wedding of Tom and Sam, my first professional booking although by this time we’d shot ten weddings. Sam had booked a small wedding venue in North Somerset which was part of a carp fishing lake complex. The venue had two barns, at right angles to each other. The main ceremony room was quite well lit with natural light but it was quite narrow with the desks, the registrars were going to use to run the ceremony, very close to the rear and sidewall.
