Beautiful winter wedding at Beechfield House

On a glorious and sunny winters day, just a couple of days after Christmas, what better way to celebrate with your family and friends, than with a beautiful winter wedding. That's exactly what Becky and Andy did, set in the stunning gardens and hotel at Beechfield House, near Melksham.



I had met with them st Stourhead a few months ago for an engagement shoot, and as I entered the hotel it was lovely to see a selection of those photos in vintage style frames to welcome the wedding guests. For me, the biggest advantage of an engagement shoot is that it builds a better relationship between the happy couple and myself, so on the big day I am already a familiar and friendly face.



An engagement shoot also gives the couple much more confidence in front of the camera, as they have more experience in posing for me and have more confidence in their natural smile and posture. As soon as I photographed Becky and the bridesmaids final preparations it was clear that she was very comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the images look stunning.

And when I saw Andy with his groomsmen awaiting the arrivals of guests, I was greeted again by a wonderfully friendly and natural smile. This was just the start of an incredible day, and it was a joy to share this special day with Becky and Andy, finished off in style with fireworks.

"Myself and Becky would love to say a 'super huge thank you' for taking the photos for our Wedding. We couldn't have met a nicer, considerate, friendly and professional guy like Jamie. If your looking to get married and you want someone to make you feel comfortable and take great pictures Jamie is your man." Andy & Becky

Shabby chic Summer wedding at Guyers House, Corsham

We are lucky to have so many beautiful wedding venues in Wiltshire, Bath and Somerset, but there is something a little bit special about Guyers House in Corsham. The building is stunning and provides the most amazing intimate location for your wedding party and guests, but in terms of beautiful backdrops, this venue has something much more important - some hidden gems! 

When we take the bride and groom for their couple shots, our style of photography is all about relaxed, beautiful pictures that reflect their personalities.  One of the biggest factors in achieving this is taking the couple away from all of their guests, so they don't feel like they are being watched, or get distracted when an Aunty comes over to get a photo on her mobile!  And this is where Guyers House comes into it's own - there is so much to offer around the gardens, by the pond, in the archway, in the vegetable garden, down the avenue of trees, or simply by the beautiful back door.  A selection of wonderful backdrops, all away from the eyes of your guests!

After photographing Sarah and Matthew's wedding there last year I was really happy to return again in August to photograph Lucy and Graeme's wedding day. And what an incredible day it was - such a fantastic and fun couple, and the venue looked even more spectacular with vintage shabby chic styling.
