Becky and Richard - 11th August 2012 - Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon

I was at the incredibly popular Walton Park Hotel in Clevedon on Saturday for the wedding of Becky and Richard. I photograph loads of weddings at this lovely little seafront venue and it is at its best in the summer. Lovely views out over the estuary always make for some great pictures and Saturday was no exception. After tying the knot in a ceremony with 60 friends and family I took the newlyweds with their 3 children and other attendants out to the lovely green space next door to the hotel to capture some fun photographs in the sunshine. Wide open spaces meant that I could get the children (and the grownups) running and jumping in the grass. We then headed back to the reception after Becky and Richard had their couple portraits with the gorgeous landscape as a backdrop. Becky's choice of a vibrant cerise colour scheme looked great on her bridesmaids and there were bright pink gerberas everywhere, adding a pop of colour all over Walton Park, A really beautiful day, Congratulations Mr and Mrs Harrison!

Amy and Ted - 30th June 2012 - Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon

I really loved being part of Amy and Ted's Wedding. Right from the beginning they were really excited about the images for their Big Day and sent me lots of magazine clippings to give me an idea of the type of thing they liked. The couple chose The Walton Park Hotel in Clevedon near to their home which is really close to the lovely Victorian promenade and pier. We headed down there for some pictures after what was undoubtedly the best Father of The Bride speech I have ever heard. Bob certainly didnt mince his words and his speech involved more embarassment for Ted than even his Bestman Alex threw at him. To give you an idea the speech involved a 'shewee' (if you dont know what this is google it!) an impression of a shrimp eating and a Ricky Gervais dance. All demonstrated (to his credit) by Ted! I was made to feel so welcome by this lovely couple and their guests I hope they have the most wonderful time on their honeymoon in Mexico.

Caroline and Joe - 9th June 2012 - Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon

Caroline and Joe definitely had luck on their side when it came to the weather for their Wedding on Saturday. After severe weather warnings and hideous rain on Friday, Saturday had perfect blue skies over their seafront venue Walton Park Hotel in Clevedon. Although the couple had a small wedding party they wanted fun photos with lots of their friends that looked great....even though it was sprung on some of their guests that they would be expected to be running and jumping around after the ceremony! I loved the couples cake idea. They had simply put together a collection of allsorts of different types of cakes that the staff at Walton Park then displayed for them on their cake table...it looked delicious! This lovely couple will be honeymooning in Clevedon and simply taking a week off to chill out at home and enjoy one anothers company....what a lovely way to start married life!

Charlotte and Martin - 5th May 2012 - Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon

Charlotte and Martin (also known as Chaz and Badge) chose the very popular Walton Park Hotel in Clevedon (I'm there 4 times between now and August!) for their ceremony and reception.  They chose the venue because not only do they live just a minutes walk away they also met there. Lots of little personal touches made Chaz and Badge's day really special. Things like; using Martin's skim board to display the table plan, giving favours of discs of their favourite music and some fantastic personalised Converse for the Happy Couple to party the night away in. I particularly loved the Converse trainers. I'm hoping my husband doesn't read my blog as regularly as he claims as he may be receiving some of these as a Fathers Day gift! After their wedding breakfast Tara and I popped down to the seafront with the Bride and Groom to get some great portraits with moody skies in the background. Chaz and Badge are off to Mauritius in a couple of days and we hope they have a  fantastic time away.
