Polly and Hamish
What a truly gorgeous wedding day this was. A perfect May celebration, blessed with uninterrupted sunshine from morning to night. We were both lucky enough to capture the morning preparations, spending time separately with the bride and groom as the excitement built. The house was alive with energy, laughter, and anticipation, surrounded by close family and friends - a wonderful start to such a special day.
The ceremony took place at the church in Ditchett, near Shepton Mallet, followed by a short walk up to Hamish’s beautiful family home in the village for the reception. With its sweeping landscaped gardens, grand Georgian house, and elegant marquee, it was the most idyllic wedding setting. The couple drove themselves back to the house in a Land Rover, just as the bridal party had travelled to the church which was a lovely personal touch.
One of my favourite parts of the day was the buzz of the house during preparations before leaving for the ceremony. Polly’s mum, Emma, did a wonderful job placing her veil, and it was a real honour to witness and capture such intimate, meaningful moments between mother and daughter.
The garden reception was absolutely stunning, from the beautiful dresses to the classic tailcoats; every detail was a joy to photograph. The atmosphere was incredible, and as the evening unfolded, the celebrations became wonderfully lively, with a packed marquee and guests dancing well into the early hours.
