bath wedding jo and andy

A beautiful intimate wedding ceremony of closest family followed by an evening reception with lots of friends and a dance floor filled with fun, kids and colour. Wick farm  was the perfect spot: set in the lush, green countryside near to the castle at Farleigh Hungerford. Below are Jo and Andy  beneath a stunning red sky as the sun set over Somerset .

I was greeted by this dog who sniffed me out through the  cat flap as I explored this beautiful spot for a wedding! I later heard that many years ago the farm was a kennels - but have to say I think it has been put to far better use as a beautiful countryside wedding venue.

Looking through the reflections in the window of the big white vintage wedding car towards the small family ceremony that lies ahead

Wedding details can say so much: white and pink ballerina bridesmaids shoes look great against the red carpet of the vintage wedding car. 

genuine smiles show in the eyes as bride jo and bridesmaids darcy and isla arrive with their wedding bouquets of pink and white roses

I like the way the white swoosh of the vintage wedding car leads your eye to the bride holding the bridesmaids hand. 

get me to the ceremony on time - its nice when brides are a little early - there is time to savour the moments of excitement with your bridesmaids!

off we go to the ceremony: after a little time to savour the moments of excitement bride Jo and her two daughters, bridesmaids Darcy and Isla are helped down the steps by Hilary.

read with a smile-  young readers did so well in an emotional heartfelt ceremony 

these little moments are what make up a wedding  and its an honour to document them for the wedding couple

heads up to dad for original pint placement- it didn't last long, but thankfully everyone remained dry!

lighting your wedding venue with candles always creates a calm mood.

There was so much for kids to do at this wedding - it was non -stop play time. These guys took the crown for doing everyhting at once! A kind of Robin Hood does bubble battle with the Sherriff of Somerset.

this young chap made the most of the wedding day by wearing  every conceiveable combination of dressing up gear!

A lovely start to the wedding speeches at Wick Farm, Bath.

Groom Andy remains defiant despite a barrage of very funny accountant jokes

a very assured and really funny best man's speech was met with lots of laughter

Cheers! After a some great speeches and a lot of laughter

lovely expressions during first dance at wedding reception

First dance in the dark : bride and groom embrace warmly

Yes, of course!. The things that happen on the spur of the moment are what make a wedding day. Documentary wedding photography captures these parts of the day.

weddings often remindthe guests of their closeness 

wedding rings sparkle 

a tambourine and a tommy cooper hat from the dressing up box put to great use on the wedding dance floor 

a great band always gives the inspiration for some air guitar to the younger wedding guests. Thank you to The Clones.
