Cordelia and Barney had a beautiful Somerset wedding late in May. I started off capturing the Barney getting ready with his boys, before heading over to photograph the excited Cordelia getting ready as the home had the final preparations taking place in it’s garden. From the traditional church wedding to the vintage marquee set up at the family home to the first dance in the old sheep barn, it was the perfect day. for this wonderful couple.

Chris and Abi married at a beautiful rural village church in Beechingstoke, Wiltshire followed by a big party at The Moonraker Hotel in Trowbridge. Their day was full of personality, love, deep emotion and moments of pure joy. Abi’s dad officiated the wedding and this added the the family feel that ran through their day. At The Moonraker there was acoustic music, canapés, the afternoon reception, emotional speeches, dancing to some incredible music from The Hammervilles and then a sparkler exit too! I loved working with these two capturing such special moments for them both. Here’s some of my favourites from their day!

We had a pre wedding photoshoot which was great as we got to meet James before hand and get used to being in front of a camera.

What Chris said “Absolutely 5 stars, I wish I could give you more. James photographed our wedding and, with us both being a bit camera shy, it could easily have been an uncomfortable experience however James (and Joel) were so encouraging, amazing and fun. We constantly had compliments from all our guests saying how lovely they are and they really became a part of the wedding party. Not only that but our sneak speaks came through the next day and they are absolutely gorgeous and made us cry so many happy tears.
You both were amazing and you really helped make our day so special. Thank you for everything and we will be recommending you to everyone! x”
