YOU ARE A JOY AND A WONDERFUL PERSON AT WHAT YOU DO. OUR PICTURES ARE SUCH A GIFT AND WILL BE WITH US FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES SO THANK YOU.”

Laura & Matt

Third time really was the charm for L&M who finally got hitched on the 4th March this year after having to postpone their larger planned celebrations not once but twice when Covid hit. Failed plans, not wanting to deal with the stress of rearranging a larger affair, a big house move and welcoming their beautiful little boy in the years gone by, the pair decided they wanted to opt for a smaller celebration this time around with just their close friends and family. Both Laura and Matt got ready at the super cool Artist’s Residence which was just short walking distance to the Bristol Registry Office where the pair finally made things official. After another short walk to the The Forge, friends and family gathered for an intimate dinner and speeches.

It’s pretty hard for me to put into words just how fun it was to capture Laura and Matt’s day. I often joke about how I’m really lucky with my couples and when I finally get to meet them on the day, it’s just like capturing on old friends wedding but honestly - it felt like I’d known these two my whole life and their entourage made me (and my photographer friend Hana who came to support me as this was the first wedding of the year for me following Surgery) feel so welcomed and like we were among familiar faces (even though they didn’t know us and we were just two random ladies walking around with cameras strapped to our hips) but you get the point. Some of my favourite moments of the day were watching Laura’s friends celebrating with her that she fitted into her pre Covid wedding dress purchase, her Mum and Dad both helping her with the final touches and hers and Matt’s friends Joseph and Tom serenading them down the aisle with their guitars. As always, thir was pure joy during their confetti tunnel (just look at those happy faces) and giggles galore during their portraits. Thank you again to Laura and Matt for having me along and I’m so happy their love their gallery.

If you’re thinking of hosting an Intimate wedding in Bristol at either The Forge or any other local Bristol venues, be sure to get in touch as I’d love to hear from your plans. Huge thanks to the dream team of suppliers listed below that helped create such a stellar day for the couple.
