Beautiful Wiltshire wedding ceremonies at County Hall, Trowbridge

As you may know, Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire, and in County Hall, it now boasts a wonderfully refurbished council building and a spectacular library. Years ago couples would enjoy their wedding ceremony in the building too, and after several years away in a portable building across the road, Wiltshire Council have relaunched County Hall as the new home for beautiful wedding ceremonies.



Reopened in 2014, my first wedding at County Hall was in the smaller ceremony room for a double wedding celebration! Helen and Roger enjoyed their wedding ceremony last June, shortly followed by brother Ray getting married to Jodie! The room is light and intimate for a smaller wedding, and the exterior of the building provides a more spectacular and grand backdrop for photos.

Then in Autumn 2014 I returned to County Hall to see the newly refurbished large ceremony room on the first floor, and to photograph Lexy and Matthew's wedding ceremony.  The decor in the room is very much in keeping with the classic exterior of the building and grand staircase, and their day was made even more special with the groom's father officiating the ceremony!

And finally, I returned on a beautiful winter's day to photograph Leah and André's wedding ceremony in the large ceremony room.  There are so many wonderful backdrops at County Hall, that lend themselves to beautiful photos of your wedding day - so if you're getting married at County Hall in Trowbridge and would like stunning photos to treasure your special day, then contact Jamie and Jackie of Wiltshire Wedding Photography on 01373 472880, or email: jackie@ivisualise.co.uk

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.

These are a selection of photos by Jamie McDine of Wiltshire Wedding Photography.

"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
