Another of my favourite venues for Monday’s wedding, Halswell House near Taunton. Charlotte & Tim’s day was all in one place, which was lucky really as the weather couldn’t seem to make up it’s mind whether it wanted to be sunny or rainy! With everyone getting ready at the house I was able to get some images of the guys getting ready too. Charlotte’s dress was lovely, her birdcage veil was an elegant touch, and when teamed with her purple shoes it was definitely an outfit that made a statement!
The ceremony was quite emotional for Charlotte and some of the guests – especially when best man Ben played guitar whilst Tim’s sister George sang as they signed the register. As the rain was holding off everyone headed outside afterwards. Charlotte and Tim obviously have a very sweet tooth, as they’d laid on both a sweetie bar and an ice cream van to serve cones to their guests.
Whilst it remained dry Charlotte, Tim and I nipped off to get some portraits. Charlotte really wanted an image of the two of them in the cornfields in front of the house, but just as we were getting into position in the middle of the field the heavens opened and we had to run for shelter under a tree. The rain continued and showed no sign of stopping – so eventually we had to be rescued by best man Ben in his car!
The rain seemed to have it in for us as every time we attempted to go outside for portraits it started up again, so we resigned ourselves to using the doorway and the ballroom upstairs for our backdrop.
Charlotte & Tim’s full gallery will go online in a few weeks time once they’ve been in to the studio to see their images first. In the meantime here are some of my favourites from their day:
