Natural Wedding Photography In Somerset | Nikki & Jonathan

Nikki and Jonathan's beautiful wedding took place on the grounds of Brympton d'Evercy house. Bridal preparations were held in the stunning honeymoon suite whilst the groom, best man and ushers got ready at the very top of the house... as well as the bar!

The ceremony was held in the small temple running parallel to the driveway, it's such an atmospheric little place and I also create some of my favourite documentary wedding photography during services here.

It was a little too cold to mingle outside! So instead, the champagne reception took place in Brympton's main hallway - another beautiful space.

There was an effortless flow to this Somerset wedding day, it was also exceptionally good fun to create their natural wedding photos as there was a real energetic vibe, thanks in part to the high ratio of friends invited. The evening had a proper party atmosphere, the sort of candid environment I absolutely love working in.

Below are just a few of my very favourites from this fantastic wedding in Somerset.

Unsure about the different wedding photography styles?

Documentary Wedding Photography In West Sussex | Rachael & Sam

Thank you for all of the beautiful photos, we’ve already looked through the collection four times! 

We’re so happy with them. Really love them. We knew they were going to be good, we just weren’t expecting to feel like we were actually back at the wedding!

Your documentary approach caught amazing moments – most of which we didn't even see you taking. 

This is so much more than we were hoping for. We really appreciate all of your help on the wedding day. We’re so pleased you were there to document it all. 

You have such talent and we will be recommending you every time we have the chance.

Thank you!

A New Year's Goal (Not Resolution)

A new year brings with it the perfect opportunity to set resolutions, both business and personal. It’s a healthy tradition and ensures perspectives are kept in check.

My resolutions, like most people, often revolve around living a more healthy or sustainable existence - more exercise, being greener, having a better work/life balance, eating healthier and more ethically, etc.

The difficulty for me is that my early enthusiasm and commitment for these resolutions always dwindle in the summer months when photographing weddings consumes my life. 

So this year, I’ve set something up that will work all of the time, even when I’m utterly engrossed in the world of weddings! Only this isn’t a resolution, this is a goal, and one that I will aim to improve year on year.

Actually, this is something that began last year and due to its success, I wanted to share further with the hope that, by inspiring other wedding professionals, businesses and entrepreneurs, similar systems are implemented, helping to drive change.

It’s quite simple really, each time an individual recommends me and that small act of kindness results in a booking, I donate £100 towards a cause of that individual’s choice. This cause could be in the form of a charity close to their heart, a particular plight or rescue efforts in relation to national and international disasters that need funding.

My motives are sincere, I won't profit from this. My business is at a stage where many of my bookings are achieved through referrals, which represents no cost. I simply want to see that my money has greater, more positive consequences.
