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 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.

Our first wedding in 2014 was in late March when we shot Andy and Louise’s ceremony at the Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon, N.Somerset, UK. Its a modest wedding venue and a little bit restricted for photo opportunities on site. However, Andy and Louise had a few ideas for couple shots on the Victorian seafront at Clevedon. Louise and her party were getting ready at the hotel and Andy was due to arrive an hour or so before the ceremony start time. They lived in Clevedon so there were no great logistical problems.

Into July 2013 and the wedding of Frank and Tina. We were back at Arnos Court Hotel in Bristol. Unfortunately, as far as outside wedding shots were concerned, it rained pretty much all day. Other than the bad weather though, another lovely wedding day, that ran quite smoothly 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.

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.
