Katie and Pol Wedding - Manor Hill House, Worcestershire

This beautiful venue for Katie and Pol's wedding was matched equally by the stunning weather when our lovely couple tied the knot at Manor Hill House on Saturday 21st June 2014.
Katie and Pol were quite reserved and didn't really want too much fuss on their wedding day so I did my best to keep the photography very low key.

The gorgeous venue was a wedding photographers dream so It seemed a shame to not make the most of the photo opportunities available.
After the formal group shots were done I managed to persuade our couple to escape from the wedding party for a short while and grab a few relaxed intimate shots of the happy couple. I think they even began to really enjoy posing for the camera after a little while.

I do want to take this opportunity to thank Emma Moffett (the proprietor of Manor Hill House) for all her help on the wedding day. She was absolutely amazing in every way from offering me food and drinks to giving me a guided tour of the venue and highlighting potential photo opportunities.
She is also a budding photographer herself and has a great eye for detail.
I highly recommend this hotel to any couples looking for a wedding venue with a differemce.

Anyway, here are a few of my personal favourites from their wedding day. Have a great honeymoon guys and hope you like your wedding photos now available on-line via your private gallery link.

Paul and Jasna Wedding - Saturday 7th June - Registry Office, Bristol

Paul and Jasna had a relatively intimate wedding when they met at the registry office in Bristol on Saturday 7th June.
After the ceremony, the confetti throw and a few group portraits the wedding party then made their way on foot to the Luxuriously Boutique - Hotel Du Vin for the wedding breakfast.
The  magnificently restored, 18th century sugar house is also a grade 2 listed building...so I knew there was going to be some great detail to photograph :-).

We even managed to nip down to the wine cellar to take a few shots....that's photographic shots as opposed to alcoholic shots of course !!!

After a beautifully presented wedding breakfast and some hotel character detail it was off to our next venue - No.4 Clifton Village for barbecue and drinks in the rear gardens to be followed by live music and late night dancing.

As the evening weather was so fabulous, Paul, Jasna and myself decided to grab a taxi from outside the Hotel and take a quick trip to the Clifton Suspension bridge for a few photo opportunities. With the taxi parked up near the bridge and the meter running I felt like a cameraman on an Anneka Rice Treasure Hunt programme, but it was worth it for a few beautiful portraits of Paul and Jasna in front of Bristol's most famous landmark.

I hope you like my brief selection of personally chosen moments from Paul and Jasna wedding day. The bride, groom and family can of course now view the entire wedding album on-line via the supplied private gallery link and password.

Lynsey and Graeme Wedding on Friday 30th May 2014 at Bristol Zoo

This was my first wedding at Bristol Zoo and I must say that it has got to be the perfect venue if you have children attending your wedding, because lets face it, weddings aren’t particularly interesting for them!

Although Lynsey and Graeme had not specifically chosen this location because they are huge animal lovers, it was selected mainly for the look from the gorgeous Clifton Pavilion, its architecture, elegant rooms and its beautiful gardens.
 

Lynsey and Graeme (could be a Clarke Kent lookalike !!) wanted to have very low key wedding photography without too much fuss or direction, so I tried to keep my style as journalistic as possible without too much intervention.

The couple had done an amazing job of decorating their tables with chocolate animals and treat bags for the children.

They are a very beautiful couple and I hope they have a fantastic life together.

Congratulations Lynsey and Graeme and hope you love the pictures. Please leave  comments at the bottom of the blog or via my Facebook pages...

Here is a selection of my favourites from their wedding day...
