Bristol Wedding Photographer

Naomi and John’s wedding at the Bristol Royal Marriott Hotel marked the start of “wedding season” for me this year on one of the wettest weekends I can remember. Luckily the sun did make a brief appearance, just in time for a quick boat trip around the Bristol harbour. A small selection from the day below.

I had a nice surprise on Christmas Eve when I found out one of my photos had finished fourth in the ‘Emotion’ category in the WPJA’s (Wedding Photojournalist Association) latest international competition. The image (seen below the with judges comments) was taken at William and Claire’s wedding in August at Frampton Court.

JUDGES COMMENTS: There’s just enough depth of field to allow the bride’s smile to strengthen, in juxtaposition, the woman’s almost tearful reaction to her joy. It’s a quiet but telling moment, sensitively portrayed.

Pete and Natasha were married at Eastington Hall near Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. A small selection of favourites from the day below.

Joe and Zenia’s Devon wedding took place at Plymouth Cathedral with the reception a short drive away at Roadford Reservoir. A few favourites from the day below.

The latest results for the Wedding Photojournalist Association quarterly competitions were announced last week and I’m pleased to say I had an image place in the top 20 for the “Transport” category. The image, taken at Jon and Gayle’s wedding at Kelham Hall in May, can be seen below with the judges comments.

JUDGES COMMENTS: This is a wonderful moment captured. It demonstrates the right time and place. I love seeing the guests peaking through the windows at the happy couple.
