There’s something magical about a summer wedding at the Roman Baths. As the sun begins to drop behind Bath’s honey-coloured Georgian buildings, the whole city seems to glow. The warm evening light brings the Bath stone to life, creating the most incredible backdrop for portraits that simply isn’t there at any other time of year.

Jemma & Chris were married in a beautiful summer evening ceremony at the Roman Baths, surrounded by the people who matter most. One of the real joys of summer weddings here is that there’s still plenty of daylight after the celebrations begin, giving us time to wander through the ancient baths and around the Great Bath itself, creating photographs that feel both timeless and effortlessly relaxed.

The atmosphere is completely different to winter. The light is softer, warmer and far more forgiving, making it possible to create beautiful, natural images without the technical juggling that darker evenings demand. Sometimes Mother Nature really does all the hard work for you.

Bath on a summer evening is simply unbeatable! 🫶🧡💛

Some weddings just have that effortless summer magic. ☀️🌿

Natalie and Matthew’s beautiful day at Goldney Hall in Bristol was one of them. From a relaxed morning getting ready in the stunning main house, to saying their vows beneath the trees surrounded by family and friends, everything about the day felt warm, elegant and wonderfully unhurried.

This portrait quickly became one of my favourites. A little bit editorial, a little bit romantic, and proof that sometimes the best photographs come from slowing everything down for just a few moments.

Congratulations again, Natalie & Matthew. ❤️ Oh did I mention I’m now a Recommended Supplier at Goldney! The Orangery at Goldney House

There are couples who love food… and then there’s Hannah & Rowan. 🍔😂

When you hire the award-winning The Beefy Boys The Beefy Boys to cater your wedding, it’s only fair they become part of the portrait session too!

The queue never stopped, the guests were absolutely obsessed, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many happy faces clutching burgers. So before disappearing back to the party, we had to grab one final photo with the legends behind the grill.

Proof that your wedding portraits don’t always have to be serious… sometimes they’re best served with fries. 🍟❤️

There are sunsets… and then there are these sunsets. 🌅

Hannah & Rowan somehow managed to pick one of the hottest days of the year to get married at Lapstone Barn, but as the temperature finally began to drop, we escaped into the surrounding fields to chase the last of that incredible golden light.

This is why I always encourage couples to in the summer evenings. The light is softer, everyone’s relaxed, and you get moments like this, just the two of you, walking hand in hand while the world quietly glows around you.

A huge shout out to Emily, the Wedding Coordinator at Lapstone Barn Cotswold Barn Wedding Venue . In nearly 20 years of photographing weddings, she is genuinely one of the very best I’ve ever worked with. Calm, organised, endlessly helpful, and a real force multiplier who made the whole day run effortlessly.

Photographers are a strange breed. Most people walked into the shepherd’s hut and saw somewhere cosy to spend a wedding night.

I walked in, spotted a tiny decorative mirror hanging on the wall, and immediately started plotting! The shepherd’s hut was called ‘Corkscrew’ (which feels entirely appropriate for a vineyard wedding, and I’m just going to leave that there… 🤣).

What I loved about this little mirror was the way it framed Beccy and Mike together. It transformed an ordinary moment into something a little more interesting, a little more playful, and a lot more personal. The vineyard stretches away behind them, whilst the ornate frame almost feels like a tiny window into the future.

The best photographs don’t always come from epic landscapes or dramatic sunsets. Sometimes they come from noticing a small detail that everybody else walks straight past.

A tiny mirror.
A shepherd’s hut.
A newly married couple.
And a little bit of curiosity.

The Fence Incident…

Golden-hour portraits were going beautifully. The light was perfect. The vineyard looked incredible. Everyone was behaving themselves. Then we came to a gate.

Beccy started climbing over it. Mike decided this was taking far too long and promptly threw his new wife over his shoulder and carried her down the lane like a sack of potatoes… lovely potatoes!

The resulting laughter could probably be heard across Worcestershire. Most of it was probably mine! 🤣

For the record, Beccy is a fiercely independent Australian woman and I have a strong suspicion there may be photographic evidence of her helping Mike over the fence shortly before this! Fair’s fair.

These are the moments I love most. The unscripted bits. The chaos. The laughter. The photographs nobody planned but everybody ends up loving. Because years from now, they’ll remember the gate.
