It’s been a very hard year for everyone, and people who have been planning weddings have been hit particularly hard by the new regulations along with the constant changes being introduced at short notice.
So we were very pleased to hear from Aggie and Arron, who were planning to have an intimate lockdown wedding and loved our photojournalistic style of photography. When we learned that their wedding was taking place at the quirky and magnificent 13th Century manor Maunsel House, we were even more excited. The venue is set in a 2000 acre estate in Somerset and its unique features reflect the tastes and interests of its owner, Sir Benjamin Slade Bt.

The day was very emotional one as Aaron and Aggie have been together for over 20 years and had had to put the day off several times due to the ongoing pandemic. Eventually they decided to invite a much smaller congregation and use Zoom to include other relatives both near and far. The small number of guests were privileged to get to see Aggie looking absolutely radiant and beaming from ear to ear.
While the venue has bags of character, one thing that some rooms lack is light! In the more intimate spaces, where suits of armour and weapons hang on the walls along with a well worn stuffed bear, the lighting is almost non-existant! Thankfully our Fuji cameras were up to the job and we were able to capture emotions and events where it would have been impossible a few years ago.
