“We are so pleased that we chose Becky to be our wedding photographer!

We met Becky at a wedding fair, and knew that we wanted to have her as our photographer for our special day.

She understood exactly what we wanted from our photos and the photos that we have received are so beautiful and personal.

We have had so many positive comments, and some of our family and friends have said that her photos should be up for an award!

The Engagement Shoot

The Wedding Day

The rain continued for a while after everyone arrived at the wedding venue but didn’t last long enough to prevent guests throwing confetti over the newly-weds outside. It was a little windy for portraits but that didn’t stop us, and I absolutely LOVE the images of Lee carrying El’s train while her veil blows in the wind.

One of my favourite moments of the day was after the wedding speeches, when Di, the mother of the bride, rounded up the wedding guests to come outside. There she was dressed up as Only Fools and Horses’ Del Boy with the iconic yellow Reliant Regal! A definite wedding first for me!

The Venue

The long driveway builds suspense as you approach the striking historic building. Coombe Lodge sits majestically in its beautiful countryside surroundings and its Bath stone exterior remains in pristine condition.

Surrounded by well-kept landscaped gardens, ancient trees and epic views over the North Somerset countryside, Coombe Lodge provides a plethora of backdrops and photo opportunities for your wedding day.

Built by the distinguished architect, Sir George Oatley, for the Will’s Family (a leading Bristol family and the first to mass produce cigarettes) it’s no surprise Coombe Lodge is stunning. Oatley created many famous Bristol buildings, including the Wills Memorial Building at Bristol University and the Bristol Royal Infirmary.

There are so many reasons why I love being a photographer at Coombe Lodge. The venue itself is big and spacious, with large, beautiful windows letting in lots of natural light. Lots of light enables me to keep my shutter speed fast and my ISO low, which is every photographer’s preference.

With options for indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies, good weather can be fully taken advantage of.  Outdoor ceremonies usually mean more available space for me to move about, meaning I can capture different angles more freely.

The building itself is beautiful, which itself provides a wonderful backdrop for photographs. Also, outside there are so many options for photos too, from the walled garden and orangery to the tree-lined gravel pathways that surround the lodge.

Once the sun has set my flashgun appears, which provides a different look to your wedding photos. Off camera flash enables me to create flare in dancing shots and really accentuates the fun of the party.
