Leanne and Hannah’s Orchardleigh Wedding

We first met Becky at a wedding fair, where she was so welcoming and approachable! Becky made us feel so at ease, we then knew she would be perfect for our day.

Becky was so organised and helpful before our day with organised questionnaires and Video calls to capture what we really wanted for our big day!

On the day itself she blended into the day and felt like one of our wedding guest, she is such a natural photographer and captured everyone really enjoying the day.

The day we received our link for the photos we couldn’t stop looking through them. – Pretty sure we spent a hours going over them!!

Thank You so much for capturing the most amazing moments of our wedding day!

Highly recommend Becky as your wedding photographer – We’ve had lots of our friends & family asking who took ours photos! 🙂

Tying the Knot

I didn’t get to see Hannah before the ceremony, as both brides walked down the aisle and were given away by their dads. Leanne and Barry came first and were followed by Hannah and her father Darren. In contrast to Barry’s speech, Darren’s was a complete comedy. In fact, Hannah and her twin sister Kathy buried their heads in embarrassment as he worked the whole room, introducing everyone with funny facts! 

It had been raining all morning and we were all praying the weather would hold off for confetti after the ceremony. Fortunately, we were blessed with a gap in the rain and so the guests headed out into the Italian Garden to toss confetti over the newly-weds – this is always one of my favourite parts of a wedding day to photograph!

With sunshine promised later in the day, the newly-weds and I headed out for portraits after the wedding breakfast had been served. With rain constantly threatening, we settled on photographs in the walled garden, under the archway at the Elmhay park village and a couple at the Italian Garden too.

After cake cutting and a first dance, everyone hit the dancefloor to the beat of the Hammervilles band, which really got the party going!

The Suppliers

Somerset Weddings

Orchardleigh estate is just a short drive north of the pretty historic market town of Frome. Frome has a thriving contemporary and performing arts scene as well as a wealth of beautiful architecture. The Somerset town holds its monthly independent market on Sundays – a mini festival with market stalls bursting with local food and drink, plants, collectibles, produce and entertainment.

On non-market days Frome is still worth a visit, it’s pretty streets crammed with independent and specialist shops, arts and crafts, antiques, galleries, and jewellers.

Known for its community spirit, Frome has a busy social calendar too, with two theatres, a symphony orchestra, various choirs, The Frome and Agricultural Cheese show, Christmas Extravaganza and the 10 day Frome Festival Further afield, Somerset has lots to offer. The pretty city of Wells, with its grand cathedral and welcoming weekly farmers market. Epic Cheddar Gorge with its impressively winding road, seemingly endless caves, and wonderful views over the Somerset flats. Glastonbury with its annual world-famous festival, imposing Tor and incredibly quirky town (which seems to permanently smell of incense!).

One of my personal favourite things about being a wedding photographer at Elmhay Park is my commute, which takes me up and over the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – a gorgeous spot for a pre-wedding drive!
