William Blathwayt, builder of Dyrham Park married Mary on the same spot in St Peters Church, Dyrham on (almost) the same date in 1686(4 days later, to be exact). This day just over 3 centuries later however, belonged to Kate Collins and Ashe Palmer. I was so excited for Kate and Ashe ; not everyone gets married and then goes straight off to live in another stately home! Kate had just got a new job working for The National Trust at Arlington Court in Devon and was moving from Dyrham Park in Gloucestershire. Who would be the Lord of the new Manor? Ashe?
This was a warm wedding with lots of laughter and fun which reflected the couple so very well.Some of the highlights: a whirlwind of Kate's deeply coloured homemade rose petals (from the garden at Dyrham), priceless expressions of surprise and joy during the best mans speeches and dancing beneath a canopy of blue stars suspended from the half-timbered roof of the Great Tythe Barn in Tetbury.
Wedding dress gets cats approval
Kate Collins cat emerges from the folds of her wedding dress before she puts it on to get married. Kate is a real cat lover and was aiming to take a nice image of her cats who were looking a little shy during the getting ready-phew - got one!
These guys were so full of energy, excitement and a just a few nerves before Kate and Ashes wedding at Dyrham Park, Gloucestershire. I often ask them to do something silly after a formal groom and ushers shot. I said "Jump" and this happened in an instant. No great orchestration needed. A lovely mix of different gestures reveals their individual characters. Not sure if the old guy looking on can understand what its all about but he definitely has an opinion. I wonder what he is thinking?
Smiles and tears in the same wedding picture. Emotions always run high when those waiting patiently first set eyes on the bride. Here Ashe Palme is clearly happy (as is his best man JJSpencer!!). Tears of joy from the grandfather on the left complete the gamut of emotions in this image. Documentary wedding pictures help remind us so well of exactly how we felt on the wedding day.
A Christmas Wedding at Dyrham Park
This wedding took place in the chapel at Dyrham park almost a hundred years ago to the day that William Blathwayt married Mary.
Vicar Tim Bell puts everyone at ease
Laughter always quells a few nerves and ceremonies usually have a a good measure of each emotion. Capturing these emotions is the fun part for me!
One of Kate and Ashe's favourite images from their wedding at The Tythe Barn, Tetbury. It does look like a warm summers day but in fact it was raining just a little. The camera doesnt lie but, it can certainly fib about the weather! For more lovely wedding pics visit www.robertaucklandweddingphotography.co.uk
A real smile and a lovely expression only come when something funny happens you cant manufacure them! I try to keep any posed wedding photos down to10 minutes as nobody really wants to spend all their wedding day posing for photos. I always seem to make the best shots when something happens inbetween posing. This is what happened here.For more unposed wedding pics visit www.robertaucklandweddingphotography.co.uk
The view from above often shows the full picture so well at a wedding. I had to explore and got lost more than once on the circuitous route up to the balcony. Hope it was worth it. Thanks to Penney Ellis for her creative ideas with this image.For more wedding pics visit www.robertaucklandweddingphotography.co.uk
I have photographed 4 brides called Kate so far but I've never photographed a knitted couple! Here they happy knitted couple enjoy the view of the real couple from their viewpoint atop the cake. Documentary wedding pictures capture all the little details that can so easily get missed in wedding photos. For more quirky wedding pics visit www.robertaucklandweddingphotography.co.uk
Did the best man really say that?
I love hearing the grooms exploits recounted in a best mans speech. Ashe jersey palmer listens to his Best man JJ Spencer.The expressions of surprise mixed with joy are just priceless. Documentary wedding picture convey these emotions so well.
