Beautiful Spring wedding at Stanton Manor

There are lots of wonderful venues across Wiltshire, Bath and Somerset, but this is one of our favourites for photographing a wedding.  Stanton Manor is tucked away in the village of Stanton St Quinton between Malmesbury and Chippenham.   We've photographed and filmed several weddings at Stanton Manor over the past 4 years, and in March 2014 Jamie returned to photograph Kristina and Darryl's big day.

What makes it such a great place to photograph is the large and light bridal suite, perfect for photographing the brides final preparations, as well as a simple yet stylish ceremony room and lots of period features throughout the venue. Best of all are the gardens, that offer a beautiful backdrop to your wedding photos and plenty of hidden locations to relax away from the eyes of your guests whilst we take your couple shots.

We had met with Kristina and Darryl for an engagement shoot at Stourhead a few months before and as a result they were both so natural and confident in front of the camera, as well as having an even better relationship with Jamie as the photographer.  A wonderful couple and a wonderful day at Stanton Manor.

Vintage wedding at Old Manor Hotel, Trowle

The Old Manor Hotel in Trowle, near Bradford-on-Avon, has been a popular stop for visiting musicians and guests, and has now become a very stylish vintage wedding venue.  Kerren and Ron's wedding in April was one of the first weddings to be hosted at Old Manor Hotel, and the details and decor matched the wonderful period features of the venue.  

A fabulous couple with a great family and friends, Jamie has been lucky enough to photograph Kerren again as a bridesmaid in 2014 too! Here are a selection of photos from their big day by Jamie McDine of Wiltshire Wedding Photography.

Shabby Chic wedding at Winkworth Farm

Winkworth Farm is a beautiful shabby chic style venue near Malmesbury in Wiltshire.  Sarah and Hywel's wedding in August was our first ever visit to the venue and we're really looking forward to our return in 2015!  

The couple had been very busy crafting, creating and hanging decorations, bunting and stylish details throughout the venue, and it was definitely worth all their hard work. There are lots of lovely hidden gardens and perfect backdrops around the farm, as well as a stunning ceremony room. 

It was a fabulous day and I think my favourite moment was when Sarah's proud father walked her down the aisle to her husband - you can see it in one of the photos below, and if you look closely you can just make out the tears being held back!

Beautiful Summer wedding at MacDonald Bath Spa Hotel

A few years ago, one of the first wedding videos we produced was for Gemma and Jon - a lovely couple from Trowbridge that we have since seen several times at their friend's weddings, and now with their cute children too!  They celebrated their reception at the MacDonald Bath Spa Hotel and it was lovely to return there in 2014 to photograph Christabel and Gary's wedding. 

When we met they had lots of ideas and styles for couple shots, which we used for inspiration on their day for a few poses - but there was no way we could recreate the very serious looking poses they had found, as they are such a happy and smiley couple!  When they tried to pose with serious looks they burst into laughter and I just love their wedding photos - full of emotion and genuine love and happiness.

What a fabulous day and hopefully it won't be too long until my next return to the Bath Spa Hotel. Photos by Jamie McDine at Wiltshire Wedding Photography.
