West Photography Blog – Professional Wedding Photography covering the south west

Welcome To Our New Wedding Photography Blog

Hello

Welcome to the westphotography blog.

Hopefully this Blog will show you a consistent flow of high quality professional wedding photography. It will also give you a insight into my style and how I work which is relaxed/reportage/fun.

There are no limits to how far I travel but most weddings that I cover are in the Bristol, Somerset, Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, South West areas but I often go international when asked.

I’am based in Portishead near Bristol and professional wedding photography is my full time job/passion, I understand the trust and commitment that comes with photographing a wedding as it is a one off moment in time but those moments will last forever in photographs.

Hope you like the photographs but please remember these are only a very small fraction of what the wedding couples receive.

Please feel free to leave comments or contact me direct for any enquiries.

Wedding Photography at Coombe Lodge, Gemma & Tom

Gemma and Tom had a fantastic wedding day at Coombe Lodge that carried through from the bridal preparations to lots of laughter at the ceremony and reception. Gemma didn’t even flinch at the fresh November day during the walk around the grounds and a great day was had by all!

Coombe Lodge is a great venue to hold your special day as the area has so much to offer, both in the grounds and the Lodge itself. If you are considering this as your venue choice then I would love to hear from you.

Wedding Photography at The Marriott Royal and Glass Boat – Elizabeth & Jonathan

Elizabeth and Jonathan contacted me and about their wedding and explained that it was at Bristol Registry Office and the ceremony was at 3.00pm in November. From experience I explained that there wouldn’t be much light after the ceremony so I suggested the “first look” which is when the couple meet up prior to the ceremony and I am in a position to capture the moments when they first see each other.

Elizabeth and Jonathan were very keen on this idea and it worked really well, as it meant they could then relax before the ceremony knowing that we had already got some great wedding pictures in the natural light.  We were able to take some fantastic shots around the Marriott Royal Hotel and College Green.

We then went onto the Bristol Registry Office for the all important ceremony and followed on with a lovely reception at the Glass Boat.

Wedding Photography at Tracy Park, Near Bath, Katie & Ben

Katie and Ben chose Tracy Park for their winter wedding and it really did feel like winter when i arrived as it was grey and raining heavily, but luckily as the guests started to arrive, the clouds broke and we had lovely soft winter sun for the rest of the day. Katie & Ben really had a good time and wanted to take advantage of the grounds at Tracy Park which still had some stunning Autumn colours.

Got to say the first dance was awesome and a first for me..  Boom! Shake the Room by Fresh Prince.
