\"Swept<\/p>\n

Kelly and Paul had a fabulous wedding that celebrated Bristol, the city where they had met and fallen in love.\u00a0 I knew they had been planning a fairly no-nonsense wedding, so I was surprised when they announced that as well as the church and brasseries, they had\u00a0booked…a megayacht!\u00a0 The wedding played out at several locations across the city, starting close to where they lived, in fact Paul managed to fit in a swift pint at the pub before heading to church!<\/p>\n

The megayacht was a fantastic venue and after several frosty weeks, we were all delighted to see the sun come out to greet us which meant the guests could revel on the yacht’s huge upper decks, although I personally thought it was a shame that no one wanted to take a dip in the hot tub.\u00a0 Although huge (with a\u00a0lounge, dining room, several decks, dance\u00a0hall, bedrooms and more!),\u00a0working onboard did provide some photographic challenges in terms of space and lighting on the lower decks, so we had decided to do the couple’s shots\u00a0at a park near their home.\u00a0 Actually they loved having this part of the day to themselves, having a moment to cavort\u00a0and bask in the sun and also take in the\u00a0reality that they had done the deed. Shooting in the park was a fun experience\u00a0with local ‘wildlife’ dressed in varying shades of neon wandering through our photoshoot. Gotta love Bristol.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I loved the moment during his speech when Paul revealed that when he first met Kelly, he had thought “this is the woman I want to marry.”\u00a0 The stuff that fairytales are made of.\u00a0 Weddings are such huge events, I feel privileged as a wedding photographer to share the rare moments that a couple spends away from the madding crowd.\u00a0 As part of my signature style, I\u00a0work with the couple to\u00a0create key creative\u00a0images that they would like to put on their wall in its own right, wedding picture or not.\u00a0\u00a0 From this shoot, I particularly love the series of pictures of them walking through the trees because their house is in the distance and has that much more meaning to them.\u00a0 And of course, the images of Kelly, walking along the harbourside, radiant and buoyant with her love for Paul \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
