Rach and Joss were one of the first couples to get hitched at the incredible ‘The Mount Without’ in Bristol back in July 2021. The Mount Without is a luxury and alternative wedding venue set in the heart of Bristol - and one of the most breath-taking and incredible venues in the UK. After being partially destroyed in a fire back in 2016 (with a rich history) it was purchased in 2019 to be restored and used as an events space and Bristol’s newest wedding venue. Being the first wedding photographer to shoot at this incredibly beautiful venue was such an honour and I am forever grateful for Rach and Joss for choosing me to capture their day. I’m also delighted to say I am also on The Mount Without recommended supplier list as a local Bristol Wedding Photographer.
I can’t wait to be back at The Mount Without later this year as it’s truly become a firm favourite of mine. Not only because it’s in my home town of Bristol, but because it shows how something so normally ‘traditional’ can be so wonderfully alternative at the same time. Not to mention they have the friendliest team working behind the scene’s (Michelle runs such a tight knit team here and you’re sure to be looked after) and the tastiest, most relaxed food atmosphere I think I’ve ever seen at a wedding - it’s honestly just such a dream venue and if you’re considering getting married in Bristol, one you should be looking at for sure. Speaking of, if you’re looking to host your wedding at The Mount Without and are looking for an authentic and modern story telling photographer, do drop me a message and I’d be delighted to talk through your plans with you.
THE LOOK
Rach opt’d for modern elegance in her Half Penny London Cheryl dress paired with the floaty Campange cape, purchased through the independent dress boutique - Waxflower Bridal. With accessories from Blue meadow and her fresh floral crown made by local florist Petal Emporium, the look was finished by her hair and makeup team, the incredibly talented Rose Forrest and Emily Williams. Rach’s look was not only classic, paired back modern bride but managed to showcase how you can add alternative elements to a more ‘traditional’ base to make your chosen look perfectly your own. I’m not sure if it’s how the whole look comes together as a whole or if it’s Rach’s joyful smile, but this was one of my favourite looks of 2021 for sure.
