Wedding Photographer Classic VW

I love being a wedding photographer. And sometimes its as much about something the bride and groom have organised as about the location.

At a recent wedding, the couple had booked a Classic 1967 split-screen VW camper van. It was so spectacular, that I felt it needed its very own blog page!

Speaking to Bob, who owned and drove it, he explained that he’d spent more than 4 years completely rebuilding the vehicle. And it was well worth it. It’s already won a number of concours events, and I imagine he’ll be entering it a lot more in the future.

Bob arrived at the brides home with plenty of time to spare on a gloriously sunny March morning in the north Devon seaside town of Ilfracombe. The drive to St Sabinius church in Woolacombe took just a few minutes through a country lane. But wisely, Bob took his VW along a main route to avoid having to stop every 100 yards to let other vehicles coming the opposite way pass.

This gave me, the wedding photographer, plenty of time to get to the church first.

After the ceremony, there were gasps from plenty of the guests when they saw the VW.

The groom, bestman and ushers didn’t have to be asked twice to don their sunglasses and strike a cool pose by the van.

I want one!

If you’re booking this wonderful classic VW and want a wedding photographer who will capture some gorgeous photographs of it (and of you too), call me on O77IO 286 OI6

Wedding Photographer Gloucestershire – but in the City of Bath!

Sam & Martin will be getting married later this year at Tortworth Court Hotel in Gloucestershire.

So when they asked me to do their pre-wedding shoot in Bath I was very pleased indeed.  I just love this ancient city.

So, brushing past all the tourists, we headed for the Circus (no, not that kind of circus!) and picked our moment between groups of French, German and Japanese folk.

So, somewhat surprisingly, the photos make Bath look almost deserted.

Wedding Cakes – wedding photographer Gloucestershire

The recent shoot I did for the Grand Jour bridal boutique as a wedding photographer Gloucestershire included an opportunity to sample a number of extraordinary cup-cakes made by a local lady, Julie.

Her brief was simply to use the same colours as the Grand Jour logo and a second set with the decoration to match one of the most spectacular dresses in the boutique.

Julie didn’t disappoint.  And neither did the cup-cakes she had made.

Now, I’ve always been a bit of a cynic when it comes to cup-cakes, especially as a wedding cake alternative.

But Julies’ creations were a revelation. Never have I had such a delicious cake with such a superbly iced topping.  These were defintely not the supermarket finest-but-tasteless sugar topped boring cakes.

These were bespoke and delicious.  They had a real flavour which you could actually describe in more than just one word.  Sorry, I think I’m raving a bit, aren’t I?

Following the shoot I was given 3 cupcakes to take home, and found myself fighting off the family to get a look in edgeways.

So, I thought they deserve their very own blog page.

And if you should want to ask Julie to do your wedding cakes, cup-cake or traditional, then please mention I sent you – Julie says there’s a few more free cakes in it for me….

Oh, and if you want me as wedding photographer Gloucestershire to photograph your wedding day, give me a call on O77IO 286 OI6

Angelli & Keith had the most spectacularly sunny October day ever for their wedding in Swindon, Wiltshire during October.

The ceremony was at their regular church in the town and they had asked for both formal and candid photographs in the nearby Queens Park before heading off to the Hilton Hotel where they had their reception.

Earlier in the year I had photographed Sally-Anne’s sisters wedding, so it came as a pleasant surprise when Sal asked me to shoot her wedding too.

Sally-Anne and Ashley had chosen the lovely Nibley House for their ceremony.  This house is a small, family run venue suitable for somewhere over 60 guests (more if using a marquee on the lawn) and overlooks the wide Severn Vale.

Sal arrived in style and following the ceremony, drinks and family photographs, the party moved on to Elm Tree Farm in Frocester, where a large marquee and converted barn set the scene for the evening festivities.

I love this kind of slightly quirky venue, as you never quite know what to expect.  and it always ends up simply fantastic.
