Somerset Wedding Photographer
Documentary wedding photography in the county of Somerset
Here are some examples of my Somerset wedding photography assignments. Each post represents a few favourite images from each Somerset wedding that I have photographed recently. Somerset is a county in South West England which borders Gloucestershire and Bristol to the north, Wiltshire to the east, Dorset and Devon to the south-west. One of the larger English counties and yet far from the most densely populated. Somerset is a rural county of rolling hills, the Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park, and large flat expanses of land including the Somerset Levels. The city of Bath is within the county, a city famous for its Georgian architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Somerset includes some of most beautiful country house wedding venues such as, Coombe Lodge, Orchardliegh and St Audries Park.
“(We) are absolutely thrilled with the photos. You captured some lovely moments and we are so glad to have had the benefit of your eye and skill.”
