As usual, it was an absolute pleasure to shoot at Priston Mill in Bath, especially when it was as laid back as James and Rachael's wedding.
James, along with Rachael, work as editors for a magazine so it's always great to work with people in the media!
How Rachael ended up with working in the same company as James is a completely different story but I'm sure he'd love to tell you!

I loved how James and Rachael chose Priston mill as their wedding venue, despite none of their family or friends being from the area. They simply wanted to do things their own way and luckily their guests were totally on board!
Bumping in to some of the guests the day after in Bath was brilliant!

James and Rachael loved the area and agreed that when they're ready, this is where they'll get married.
A couple of years down the line, with a beautiful daughter, they kept their promise to the Mill!

After the wedding, I received an email from James checking to see how I'm getting on with the pictures, attached a picture of me at work which you'll find on my twitter feed, and I quote: "We had a great day, although my brother in his slightly drunken wisdom decided to pick me up and then fell over... he's still on crutches! Other than that, good fun!"

Good times.
Enjoy the pictures and leave a comment at the bottom.
If you're interested in having your wedding at Priston Mill then I can do nothing but totally recommend it.
The food is incredible and the staff are some of the most attentive I've ever worked with.
I'm sure James and Rachel will vouch for the Mill.

Last weekend I shot a wedding on another absolutely beautiful day just outside Bath. At one point I actually rolled up my sleeves; partly because I was a little warm, but mostly because I wanted to show what a rock and roll photographer I am. It's just how I roll.

Mark and Amy really couldn't of had a better day, Priston Mill really is the best place around for a luxury wedding with a relaxed feel.
Being just 45 minutes away from home, I can't begin to tell you how great it is to be in bed not too long after taking your last picture of the night...nay, weekend!

I think that's enough moaning from me about how I shot 24 hours at the weekend, I won't mention it again!
Today's teaser is another wedding flipbook created by Jessica.

We aimed to shoot one at Owen and Jane's Wedding but unfortunately I forgot the tripod. Sorry guys!
Although this is only our second attempt at a guestbook, I think this is the best by far. But of course, it's Mark and Amy's friends and family who make the video.
If you've got time, watch it a couple of times because I can guarantee that you'll notice something new each time. We've watched it countless times, I'm surprised the video hasn't gone viral yet!

We'll do these videos a couple more times just to make sure we're doing everything right before we offer them as a little something extra for our couples to enjoy. After all, the Bride is the last to arrive and the first to leave, so she misses out on all the action. It's nice for her to see every little detail.

Enjoy it!

Brilliant!

This couple here are Ed and his lady, Lucy and they follow my unusual strain of couples who are so amazing.

Ed and Lucy are getting married in Aberystwyth later this year and want Jessica and myself to cover their wedding and I honestly can't wait!
When we met up at Boston Tea Party, which is my favorite coffee house, we had a general chit chat about what's going on and about how their plans have been coming along.
They really surprised me when they asked me if Jessica and myself would like to join them on the beach the morning after their wedding for a paddle. We are so there!!

These two are the loveliest couple around and we had loads of fun shooting in Bath. (Bath, the city where you can shoot with your lens cap on and still get beautiful shots)

Enjoy!

We were blessed with amazing light!

See?! I'm hilarious!

Such a gentle couple...

Looking at this image now, I really wish I photoshopped that car out on the left! So annoying!

Lucy is leaning against the glass wall of the Bath Thermae Spa which Jessica and myself have been to and it is A-MAZ-ING!

Lucy and Ed really spoilt me! They were the perfect couple to shoot!

And Lucy has such great eyes!

I shot through the heads of a night time tour of Bath, I love the feel of this image!

And finally...

Ed and Lucy, honestly, you really spoiled me, I really loved being in your company and when it comes to your wedding, I just can't wait!

Thanks for reading.

Louise really compliments Jimmy, she's a smart and sweet girl and goes perfectly with her future husband!
Jimmy likes to explore new places he's never been before, wether he's holding Louise's hand whilst looking for little side streets on holiday, or cycling, or rock climbing! I'm sure Louise will take care of him!

This was my first morning engagement shoot, which was a little odd for me as I usually try to revolve it around sunset. It was very foggy Unfortunately, none of these pictures show the fog as my camera is just too good!! Nah, I joke, there simply wasn't any in the city!
But it was very cold! It could have been worse though, it could of been raining!

Anyway, we had fun. I know I say this all the time, but these engagement shoots are really good fun! I think it's very important to have a little shoot like ours before your wedding day, especially for someone like Louise who doesn't enjoy her picture taken. When her wedding day comes next month, she'll be a natural infront of the camera!
It's also great to just have a little jolly around somewhere you wouldn't usually go and get away from all the wedding pressures!

Enjoy Jimmy and Louise's pictures and remember to look out for their wedding pictures next month! They're getting married at Clearwell Castle which is quickly becoming a regular hangout place. It's the last wedding of the year too!!.... so far!
Enjoy these pictures from our engagement shoot in Bath!

We started off in a location that I've wanted to shoot in forever, and I'm still desperate to go back, but I don't want to spoil the magic of it!

You can really see Jimmy always looking after Louise.

The great things about cities is the diversity of places to shoot, ultra modern graffiti in a city that is now a world heritage site!

They're a really cool couple! Their wedding will be loads of fun!

BIG thanks to Anemone Flowers who let us shoot in their stall for a couple of minutes!


I love the contrast here! Also, Jimmy likes his horror films so he was quite happy. Louise is more of a good book/chick flick girl!

Autumn is such a great time, but it just seems to pass so quickly!

I love this picture of them both though, its a little bit sexy, but very classic too.

This might be the cheesiest shot I've done, but hey! It's all good fun really!



Louise and Jimmy are somewhere down there!

And I'll finish with this sneeky little shot! I love the light in this, and the lines leading up to them!

So thats about it!
We had fun, but in Bath its very easy. It's such a beautiful city. Jessica and myself agreed that it was our favorite city and could easily live there.
Maybe one day hey?!

Remember to look out for Jimmy and Louise's Wedding pictures at Clearwell Castle on the blog soon!
