Bride De Force: A Real Wedding Like No Other!: Welcome to the real Wedding of Pete and Jenanne who married onstage at one of the oldest theatres in Bristol! Yes, totally unique and utterly fabulous

Sharron and Graham Wedding - Egypt Mill, Nailsworth on Saturday 30th August

I arrived nice and early at Egypt Mill in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire for Sharron and Graham's special day. The weather was great and the venue looked amazing.
Graham arrived at Egypt Mill just after I had arrived with all 8 groomsmen in toe whilst our lovely bride Sharron was getting ready in the bridal suite with the assistance of her mum and bridesmaids.
After a few shots of the guys posing in the gardens next to the water wheel it was time for some bridal prep shots of Sharron getting into her stunning wedding dress. The ceremony and wedding breakfast all went according to plan and although one of the best men did get very emotional during his speech, it all worked out well in the end.
It was a fabulous day with lots of fun thanks to the boisterous activities of the groomsmen !!
A beautiful venue with a great couple. Hope to return back to Egypt Mill again soon for my next wedding.

I hope you like the small selection of images chosen from Sharron and Graham's wedding day.

Pete & Jenanne Wedding - Bristol Old Vic on Saturday 16th August

A real life wedding on stage at one of the oldest Theatre's in Bristol - The Bristol Old Vic - How unique is that !!!

It was all possible thanks to the grooms theatre connections (Pete being a freelance Stage Manager and also previously associated with stage shows at the Bristol Old Vic).
I arrived early to catch some bridal preparation shots of Jenanne and her bridesmaids who were staying at Finzels Reach Apartments (just across the river from the Theatre).
The apartments were luxurious, spacious and extremely white (which for a photographer is an absolute dream !!).
Time was moving on in the bridal apartments and with little time before the beginning of the ceremony I had to race over to the Bristol Old Vic to catch some shots of Pete, the groomsmen and all the guests as they arrived.

The lighting conditions were very challenging (with very low light levels, multi-coloured stage lights and no natural light) during the wedding ceremony and reception but we still managed to get some amazing shots.
Anyway, I could babble on for ages about all the incredible people I met at the wedding, the amazing atmosphere and ambiance of the Old Vic Theatre but I would be blogging forever....

I spent an incredible day with an amazing couple at a venue unlikely to be surpassed in wedding theatrical terms, so all I can do now is share a few of my personal favourites from a spectacular wedding day !!

A huge thanks to:

Tom Hood (Videographer) - fellow "bar buddy" during the quieter moments.
Lucy Anna Flowers
Helen Farley Hairstylist
and probably the best live wedding band I have ever heard - Thrill Collins

But, finally, a massive thanks to Pete and Jenanne for allowing me to share their special day !!!

Have a great honeymoon and a wonderful life together guys, hope you enjoy viewing my selection of images here on the blog and all the wedding images uploaded to your private on-line gallery.
