Friday’s wedding was quite a nerve wracking one for me as I photographed the wedding of Claire and Mike, and Mike has been up until fairly recently a photographer himself with a studio in Cheddar. No pressure then! In fact the day was quite a relaxed and informal affair with the ceremony in the Mayor’s Parlour at Wells Town Hall, followed by a reception at nearby Glencot House.
Claire didn’t want any of the preparations covered so I started my day outside Wells Town Hall awaiting the arrival of the bride and groom and their three children in their vintage Bentley. They were soon joined by their friends and family who had come to celebrate their day with them and the service was able to commence. Claire was escorted into the room by daughter Frankie, whilst sons Dom and Seb had the important job of ring bearers!
After the ceremony the couple were showered with confetti outside and then everyone made their way over to Glencot House for drinks and dinner. Claire and Mike had arranged for a magician to entertain the children during the meal and they certainly seemed impressed with his tricks. Especially when he made a kiwi fruit appear in Frankie’s hand, from which he then went on to retrieve a £20 note from inside!
Once dinner was over I took Claire and Mike off around the grounds to get some portraits of the two of them to remember their special day, and then the couple shared a first dance outside amongst their friends.
