We were chuffed when Jenni and Martyn got in touch about us capturing their wedding at Kings Weston House back in 2015. We had never photographed a wedding at KW before, and it’s a beautiful venue really close to us. Martyn told me was going to be ‘blitzy and stylish’, – I don’t think I even really knew what blitzy meant, but from our first phone chat I could see this wedding would be a bit different, and filled with personality and fun.
The theme was black tie so the girls wore stunning black gowns and the boys bow ties and suits; the flowers were bold spring daffodils and primroses; the wedding cake was cupcakes decorated with daffoldils and sheep, a comical nod to Jenni’s home town of Newport.
The day dawned in March 2015 and it was an overcast ‘English’ day with the sun trying to peek through now and then. We rocked up at Kings Weston House a little early to look around the location, and after a few shots of the house we headed off separately to capture the boys and the girls preparations. Soon the moment came for Jenni to head down the grand staircase with her dad and bridesmaids, and walk up the aisle towards her groom Martyn!
The venue was beautifully styled by the talented wedding planner Michele Jetzer, Martyn’s sister. Michele’s 2 gorgeous children Phoenix and Star, were flower girl and page boy, along with Izzy the couple’s gorgeous ‘lassapoo’.
We love capturing weddings in a discreet and natural way, so after ceremony we gave the couple time to greet the crowd and mingle while we captured all the fun. After a few group shots and a wander around the venue with the couple and Izzy, everyone headed into dinner.
Martyn had booked a little surprise for Jenni, some fireworks in the evening, so after dinner we all wrapped up and headed out into the cold for an epic display, with the house in view, followed by the couple’s first dance.
