My clients are the best - that’s a fact. Not only exceptional taste in wedding photography, but all so individual. I love that.

I have worked closely with many of my couples re-planning their wedding due to COVID-19, and this individuality is present here too.

When you have had a wedding date locked in for (sometimes) years, it holds a special significance. If it is already a special date for you both, such as your first date etc, then it’s even more special. So when it becomes clear that you will be unable to have that date for your wedding, then it sucks.

Some couples deal with this by understandably trying to forget all about it! This can be with either large amounts of alcohol or using the mind-powers of a fire-walker to block it out!

Others embrace this date as part of their wedding story. Samantha and Tom are firmly in the latter camp. they had booked Nick Church Photography for photos and a wedding film for their wedding.

They had planned to get married at Clevedon Hall on 12th June 2020 and held out for as long as possible, before re-scheduling for next year.

They felt connected to this date and they wanted to mark it with a romantic occasion, where they could get some really nice photos too.

Helped by Clevedon Hall, they worked out a way to have a picnic and photoshoot on the day, all within COVID regulations of course.

It went down to the wire as the weather was not looking great, but Samantha had us covered with timings and it went perfectly and I loved being part of it.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day. Thank you Samantha and Tom, we can’t wait for the main event next year!

I work closely with many of the high-end venues around Bristol, Gloucestershire and Somerset providing wedding photography, and Clevedon Hall is amazing. Like all those other partner venues, it’s the team behind the beautiful venue that really make it something special. The way John, Lauren and Lara go above and beyond every time is outstanding, and their support in re-planning couples’ weddings and making this mini-event happen was no exception.

If you would like a shoot like this on or around your wedding date, please do let me know
