I’ve been lucky enough to photograph as a Bickleigh Castle Wedding Photographer quite a bit now and it’s one of those venues where you know you are always going to be in for an awesome day! It’s just got such a good vibe about it, something I can’t quite put my finger on!

Fran and James had the best day and laughed a lot. Want proof? Take a look at any of these photos. All the time, in every photo, just take a look, they are smiling and having the best day. Such a delight to photograph for these two beauties! I think you find the common theme throughout these photos is just joy!

When I arrived at Bickleigh Castle I took a little bit of a walk around the grounds just to see what changed and what was flowering and looking perfect for photos. I do this at every venue I go to even if it’s a venue I’ve been a hundred times before. There’s always something new and some different way to photograph everything which is what I want from every wedding, unique photos! On my walk around the grounds I ran into James and his mates who were all having a game of basketball in the morning,so I wanted to make sure grab some shots of this as it was super cool thing to do and they were all super competitive, it was so much fun to photograph. I wanted to get stuck in as much as possible, and get as close as possible to the action without damaging my cameras!! Not an easy thing to do!

Fran and her bridesmaids were having a much more chilled and relaxed morning in their hair and make up done on site in one of the beautiful cottages. So is perfect for me to flit between the two of them as they start to get ready for the day to come. There were so many sweet moments in the morning as friends getting ready with her nearest and dearest it was super cute to be able to document those moments for her. Fran and James’s little boy was getting ready with James and the gents, this made for some very very cute photos of him in his suit looking extremely dapper and very grown-up!

The girls took a short walk across the grounds to the green next to the chapel on site for their ceremony. This is a beautiful little spot and perfect for a summer wedding like this. The ceremony was actually taking place in front of the gazebo (not quite sure if this is the right word really as it is absolutely stunning and a bit more than just a gazebo!!) and under a beautiful tree, such an incredible spot for a wedding and with the sun shining down on us as well really felt super special. In true wedding tradition, knowing you just can’t predict everything, their little boy really didn’t wanna sit still and really wanted to join in on the action and so he did. We have a look during the ceremony he is in most of the photos in their arms joining in on the ceremony making sure that he’s not missing out!! Very cute and really nice touch.

After the gorgeous ceremony they took a walk through the confetti line (with plenty of confetti to James’s face from all as guests!!!). Again with their little boy in tow, which was precious and made for some incredibly beautiful photos of the little family just having fun. Everyone then went on to play lawn games in the sun. This really was one of those beautiful moments where I just took a look around and just really appreciated my job all that little bit more. In a beautiful surrounding with amazing people and everyone just having the time of their lives.

We took a short walk around the grounds just say that Fran and James could have a few moments to themselves (with me tagging along of course just snapping a few photos!!!). I didn’t want to give them much direction really as I wanted the photos to be super natural and really just focusing in on them having some time alone to process the fact that they just got married!! So I hung back a little bit and really just let them do their thing making sure I got shots that I wanted. There was absolutely no need to direct anyway these two have the time of their lives and I just clicked away as they walked around the venue.  Bickleigh Castle really is a very beautiful spot and is great in that you don’t have to go far to find some beautiful landscapes to photograph. Everywhere you turn there are beautiful little nooks and crannies including a very pretty walled garden. What more could you ask for!

There were some incredibly moving speeches that had the whole room split between tears and laughter followed by some amazing food as well. After this, was perhaps my favourite moment from the day which was the bouquet toss. This was extremely competitive and very very funny with the winner running around with her prize try and find her boyfriend who happened to be upstairs watching the whole thing as it unfolded. So so funny!!

We managed to get a bit of sunset (honestly Fran and James were ridiculously lucky on this day with the weather knowing how the UK is for its normal summers just put it all into perspective!!). We grabbed a few photos over the gorgeous bridge over the stream running alongside Bickleigh Castle. Beautiful golden light came streaming in through the trees. Such a gorgeous little moment.

The day ended with a beautiful first dance, much dancing and epic moves! Loved this wedding, thank you so much Fran and James for having me along for your very special day!!
