A Micro-Wedding on

Clevedon Pier

 

It was so much fun being Lorraine and Stuart’s Clevedon Pier wedding photographer. These lovely pair had been together for many, many years and wanted a small, intimate ceremony in a beautiful setting to celebrate their relationship.

Clevedon Pier is such a stunning place to get married, with gorgeous Victorian architecture and seaside views. I couldn’t have been more excited to capture the afternoon for them!

Like lots of my micro-wedding clients, Lorraine and Stuart booked me for just three hours, enough to capture their ceremony and drinks reception, alongside some group photographs and some couple’s portraits too.

The Client’s said…

“We would recommend Becky to everyone!

From the start Becky put us at ease, through our calls and chats she was keen to understand what we wanted, and very understanding when we both said we struggle having our pictures taken! She was quick to reply to emails and we felt we were in a safe pair of hands.

Becky is true to her word of being subtle on the day but also making sure we got what we wanted shot wise, we never felt like we had to remind her etc – she was all over everything but in a very respectful and informative way.

Becky was a pro start to finish, all over the detail and a really lovely energy to have around on the big day. We would 10/10 recommend.

An intimate Seaside wedding

Lorraine and Stuart hosted their summer micro-wedding on Clevedon Pier in Somerset. Their 30 guests arrived ahead of the bride, and after greeting the groom, made their way up the 310 meter long pier to their seats at the Pier head. Fortunately, the weather was fine, so the ceremony had been set up to take place outside.

Once all the guests had arrived, Stuart and his best man made their way along the pier, joined by two jovial registrars from Bristol Register office. Lorraine and her maid of honour were assisted out of the wedding car by the wedding coordinator and made their way up the particularly long aisle! Fishermen were packing up their rods and grinned at the pair as they giggled happily.

Stuart was overwhelmed by emotion on seeing his bride and the two exchanged happy and emotional vows before exchanging their rings. There was a nerve-wracking moment as the best man got out the ring, which could have easily been plunged into the Severn Estuary had it fallen through the wooden slats of the pier! 

Fortunately, all was well, and the couple were soon pronounced husband and wife and shared their first kiss as a married couple. The registers were signed and the ceremony drawn to a close before the newlyweds made their way back down the aisle.

Canapes and prosecco were served on the Pier head and guests hugged and congratulated Stuart and Lorraine. Lorraine had bought several confetti canons which looked incredible as the guests showered the couple with confetti! We took a handful of group photographs before the guests made their way up to the Glass Box for the wedding breakfast.

Stuart, Lorraine and I hung about the Pier head for some newly-wed portraits. I was able to use the stunning Victorian architecture and seaside views to frame the couple and helped them to feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera.
