Clevedon Hall Wedding Photography - James + Lauren

There is a unique magic to Clevedon Court, and arriving early allowed us to capture it in its purest, most tranquil light. With the historic house and sprawling grounds empty of guests, the morning air was perfectly still—ideal for launching the drone and capturing sweeping, cinematic aerial views of the beautiful estate.

Soon, the quiet gave way to the warmth of preparation. In the 'Eagle Owl' room, Lauren and her bridesmaids were in high spirits as makeup artists applied the final, elegant touches. Seeing her wedding dress suspended in the soft light of the room built a quiet anticipation, culminating in a deeply emotional and tearful reveal when her father saw her for the first time. Down the hall in the 'Barn Owl' room, James and his groomsmen were putting the finishing touches on their suits, fastening buttonholes before heading down to welcome their arriving guests.

Under a brilliant blue sky, the outdoor ceremony area was set, with thoughtful handheld fans waiting on each seat—a much-needed comfort on this beautifully warm day. Following a heartfelt, sunny ceremony, the newlywed couple was showered with confetti back at the house. As guests mingled over drinks in the gardens, we captured candid moments before sneaking away with the newlyweds for intimate portraits amid the blooming garden paths.

After lively speeches and a golden evening cocktail hour, we whisked Lauren and James to the nearby beach. Under a dramatic, fiery sky, we captured stunning, timeless sunset portraits - the perfect finale to an unforgettable Somerset wedding.
