Musical wedding at Old Wardour Castle in Salisbury

January 06, 2017 • Leave a Comment

When Kate and Charlie contacted me to arrange their wedding photography, we chatted a lot about their plans and they sounded amazing.

When it comes to being unique, these guys had an incredible day in mind. Pretty much all the family was involved in one way or another with a reading, song, playing an instrument or reading a poem and the results were just wonderful.

The castle made the most stunning setting for Kate and Charlie's wedding. Their formal ceremony was packed with songs and music, after which they had a little "interval" for drinks, nibbles and words of congratulations. Then, everyone went back into the ceremony room for an informal part 2 which featured 3 lovely pieces played on the flute, piano and violin, readings, a poem and to finish, a song for everyone to join in with. I felt like I had been treated to a wonderful afternoon out - what a talented family :)

Their wedding reception took place at The Royal Oak in Tisbury. Family and friends enjoyed more drinks and nibbles in the garden, followed by a beautiful meal in the conservatory. Such a lovely, laid back, musical wedding day.

Congratulations again to Kate and Charlie. Here are a few of my favourites from their day.

Hi, thank you for visiting my website. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Swindon, Wiltshire, I also cover Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds, Oxford, Newbury and Bristol.

At a wedding I love seeing relaxed smiles and taking photographs that tell the story of each day. My unobtrusive reportage photography captures lots of candid shots of the bridal party and guests, I am also happy to set up group shots as I understand how important these are too. I look at the detail as well as the bigger picture, capturing beautiful natural photographs throughout the day.

I hope you enjoy looking through my pages. I have an extensive wedding gallery full of real weddings as well as lots of lovely feedback that I'd love to share with you from past brides and grooms. You may also be interested to know that I recently won Business of the Year in the Whitewed Directory Awards, I am 5 star rated on Guides for Brides and you can read my reviews here, and have been featured in Vogue and Bride, phew!

Portraits are also a passion of mine. I love getting outdoors with families for a stomp in the woods or visiting newborns in their home - each photoshoot is so different and I'm always excited to create unique photographs that will be cherished for many years to come.

I love what I do and I hope that you can see that. I'd love to hear from you and to talk about your wedding ideas or your plans for a family photoshoot. You can either send me an email or call me on 07788 400250.

Thank you, Elizabeth
