Grace and Arwyn on their magical country June Wedding Day





What a wonderful summer of weddings it has been! As wedding photographers, Martin and I always look forward to the summer months. The longer days, beautiful light, wedding venue grounds in full bloom and the opportunity to photograph so much of the celebrations outside make summer such a lovely time of year for weddings. However this summer did feel a little different.
Mary and Gary’s Church Wedding and Reception at the very special and unique Albright Hussey Manor
The Albright Hussy Manor is very special to Martin and myself – we got married there on 20 April 2003 and in 2028 it will be our 25th Wedding Anniversary and well there has to be a celebration for sure!



Do not leave this gorgeous Wedding Venue off your short list – there’s something very magical that happens at The Manor – it is family owned/run and boy – it shows – so friendly and so professional – a very unique and romantic Wedding Venue – with the options for really very big Weddings to very small intimate Weddings – all are so wonderful at The Albright Hussey Manor!

Jayne & Matt’s Wedding at Eastridge Glamping near Pontesbury
We certainly had some beautiful summer weddings this year, but we also experienced something that has become increasingly noticeable over recent years – periods of very high temperatures. Jayne & Matt’s Wedding on 10 July this year was one such day at Eastridge Glamping near Pontesbury, Shropshire.
However the love just shone through – it was a magical day! Below Jayne WhatsApp to me after we had supplied their edited photos:“Oh Julia and Martin , they are truly exceptional , we can’t thank you enough for capturing the day so perfect, a great mix of candid shots and more formal ones …. Absolutely perfect, we chose well much much love … so many to look through so going in for 2nd viewing shortly xx. Love from Matt and I x”


Of course, extreme weather conditions do not take away from the joy of photographing a Wedding. Quite the opposite! I remember knee-deep snow many years ago which was magical!
We have still loved every minute of being part of these very special days, and there have been so many wonderful moments, happy couples and beautiful memories to capture. And there is something rather lovely about looking back at a summer of weddings and remembering all those different couples, venues, families and celebrations that we have been privileged to photograph.
The Changing Seasons
And now, almost without us noticing, the season is beginning to change. The days are getting shorter, the light has a softer quality and there is a noticeable difference in the air. Wedding Venue grounds are beginning to lose their summer brightness and the first signs of autumn are appearing. For us, this is when weddings begin to take on a completely different character.
There is something special about the changing seasons. Wedding photography isn’t just about sunshine and blue skies – every season brings its own atmosphere, colours and opportunities for beautiful photographs. After the heat of summer, there is something rather refreshing about cooler temperatures and those gorgeous autumnal colours beginning to appear. We particularly love being up at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel for Autumn Weddings.

Autumn Weddings

Autumn Weddings have a magic all of their own. The changing leaves can provide the most beautiful natural backdrop, while the softer light can create a wonderful warmth in photographs. There is often a cosier feeling to the celebrations too, with couples and guests spending more time together indoors and enjoying the atmosphere of the day. And then there are those lovely autumn evenings when the light begins to fade earlier. It can create some really beautiful opportunities for photographs and gives the whole day a slightly different feel from those long summer evenings.
Of course, Autumn weather can be unpredictable – but that is part of the fun! Sometimes the most unexpected weather creates some of the most memorable images. As we move from summer into autumn and eventually towards winter, we are reminded once again of just how much variety there is in Wedding Photography.
Every season has something different to offer. For us, that is one of the things we have always loved about what we do. After so many years [23] of photographing Weddings, no two wedding days are ever quite the same – and the changing seasons are another part of what makes each one unique. So, as we say goodbye to another wonderful summer of weddings, we are looking forward to embracing the beautiful colours, softer light and different atmosphere that Autumn and winter will bring. And, as always, we can’t wait to see what the next wedding season has in store for us.

My Daughter Laura and her husband Rich make artisan Belgian Chocolates – available online to try and at lots and lots of stockists – and well they do a lot of wedding/corporate/hotel projects. Check them out – a Wedding Favour with chocolates in a box can also be a name tag for your guests at the Wedding Breakfast – just a thought. I am so biased – these chocolates are the most delicious I have every tasted – their Christmas chocolates will be amazing as they always are!
