I met this lovely couple a few months before their wedding day in the Who’d A Thought It in Glastonbury over a drink. As soon as they walked through the door I knew that they were going to be great fun to work with! Neil and Siobhan wanted an intimate September wedding with lots and lots of personal touches. This was most apparent with the amazing crocheted button holes, table decorations and Siobhan’s beautiful bouquet! I had the absolute joyous time of photographing Siobhan’s bridal prep at her parents house - with her two sisters, nieces and her mum and dad. Whilst I was happy snapping the prep - Woz was able to capture Neil laying out a sumptuous array of fruit, the most amazing cheeses and biscuits…in fact the wedding cake was itself a stack of delicious cheese!
Pennard House is a stones throw from where we live and we’ve been fortunate to shoot there a few times over the years. It’s a gorgeous property with beautiful grounds which are perfect for outdoor weddings and lovely photographs. The house has a real homely feel about it, with open fireplaces and period furniture as you can see in the following photographs. The light is particularly lovely, and something we photographers notice and relish!
The wedding ceremony was a real family occasion with lots of laughter and tears, and also a real scorcher of a day! So hot in fact that we were all diving for cover at every given opportunity! But hey we won’t complain after the rainy summer we had! Neil and Siobhan are totally adorable and we immediately felt welcomed into their fold, which we loved!
