Bethan & Craig were married at beautiful Coombe Lodge in Blagdon. When we arrived to photograph the bridal preparations at the Plush Hotel the rain was coming down hard.Bethan looked stunning in the fabulous dress by Anne Harding. At the Coombe Lodge we had some time and took some great pictures with Craig, his bestman and ushers (thank you for your help guys).
The wedding ceremony was a roller coaster of tears and laughter from the bride and her bridesmaids, even the father of the bride had to take a deep breath and compose himself when he saw his daughter in her dress for the first time.
The pianist Ian Towers was doing fabulous job of entertaining the guests before the wedding breakfast. After the speeches it miraculously stopped raining which gave a chance to take some photographs of the guests outside and a few less informal shots of the bridal party and the couple.
In the evening The Limited Edition band entertaining guests on the dance floor while we entertained them with our mini-studio which was a great fun for the evening guests and capped the night off well
