Maunsel House Wedding Photography | Lucy & Rob

It has been far too long since I blogged a wedding and now I have a big backlog to catch up with, so let's get going! This is the last from 2013, a super wedding at one of my favourite venues: Maunsel House (maybe I'm a little biased as I got married here too!) Lucy and Rob's wedding was in two parts, with the first held here in the UK in November and the other being out in Australia where they are now living.

There was a hive of activity in the morning with the girls having hair and make done in town before heading back for the finishing touches. The chaps were typically relaxed and after lounging in the bar decided they should really be getting ready. The excitement then built up to an emotional ceremony held in the grand ballroom. We just about managed some confetti outside before the clouds burst and then it was back inside for drinks and canapés before heading out again for group shots and the couple shoot around the marvellous Maunsel House grounds.

The ballroom was transformed into a decadent setting for the wedding breakfast and some superb speeches rounded of the traditional formalities. As guests were allowed to enjoy their surroundings some more, I took the chance to take Lucy and Rob off for another wander before they came back for the moment everyone was waiting for: the first dance. They smashed it with a choreographed number that rivalled anything from Strictly! The partying continued well into the night and I made my farewells leaving behind a very happy group of people and their perfectly matched newlyweds.

If you are getting married at Maunsel House (or in fact anywhere) and like what you see, do get in touch and find out more about my wedding photography.

St Audries Park | Wedding Photography Somerset | Carrina and Simon

Whenever I shoot a wedding at St Audries Park, I'm always impressed with the courteous staff, the homely atmosphere and come rain or shine, the stunning backdrop that never fails to impress me. It was no different back in October last year for Carrina and Simon's wedding. With a large number of American guests it was rather typical that they should experience a typical English weather system in the form of grey skies and rain! But hey, that certainly didn't put a downer on celebrations, quite the opposite, with good pre-planning both Bride and Groom were more than happy to battle the elements with their wellies on and umbrellas at the ready for us to create some creative shots around the grounds.

Planning a wedding from overseas is never easy, yet Carrina and Simon pulled it off effortlessly and were super relaxed all day. It was a delight to capture them sharing their love with friends and family. I hope you enjoy this small selection from their day. Keep an eye out for Carrina taking a photo of her own during the ceremony, that was a first in my book!
