Helen and Wayne's Wedding - 23 April 2011

 

Just received some beautiful photos from Helen and Wayne who were married at St. Peters Church in Bishopsworth in April.  As you can see on the photographs, they were able to enjoy some travelling time in the car with the hood down on a lovely sunny day.  The couple were then chauffeured to Winford Manor for their reception venue, with a couple of great shots taken just at the entrance into the Manor by http://www.photographybysimon.com/.  Best wishes to Helen and Wayne and thank you so much for forwarding me these fab photos!

Lisa and Kevin's Wedding, Saturday, 21 May 2011

Lisa looked absolutely gorgeous today and the father of the bride was so proud and emotional to see his daughter looking so glamorous! Married at St. Michael's Church in Stoke Gifford, Lisa and Kevin then enjoyed some private photographs togethr at Clifton Suspension Bridge with Kath, their photographer and Lisa's personal friend.  We look forward to receiving some lovely photos from Kath during the next two or three weeks.  Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Best and enjoy your honeymoon whether its Cyprus or anywhere else you decide to book!!

Natalie & James Wedding - Saturday, 7 May 2011

As you can see from these fantastic photographs, we attended the beautiful wedding of Natalie and James at St. Johns in Keynsham, our local church, and then onto Tracy Park in Wick for their reception venue.  Both myself and Becky felt it was a privilege to transport such lovely people to their wedding.  A huge thank you to Martyn from West Photography http://www.westphotography.co.uk/ who this morning forwarded these glamorous photographs onto us for our blog.  They truly show the beauty of hiring a matching pair of cars for a wedding!!  Sincere congratulations to Natalie and James. 

Nicki and Andrew's Wedding & Church Blessing

We were privileged to be a part of both the marriage and church blessing of Nicki and Andrew, such a truly lovely couple.  Leaving their home in Yate we travelled to Poole Court for the ceremony and then continued onto St. John the Baptist Church in Old Sodbury for the wedding blessing.  Such a wonderful atmosphere here with beautiful music as they walked up the aisle together, very moving.  Kendleshire Golf Club was their chosen reception venue and we were able to take both hoods down here for some lovely photographs by Martyn from http://www.westphotography.co.uk/.  Lovely working with Martyn and his colleague again and we have today received these lovely photos of the wedding, a huge thank you to West Photography and we look forward to working with them again soon! We hope Nicki and Andrew enjoyed their dual honeymoon in Bath and Cyprus.

Disappointing

For the first time in over fifteen years, we were unable to fulfil our comittment yesterday and continue to our final destination / reception venue with the bride and groom as planned, which was disappointing for both myself and the couple.

It emphasises how important the relationship is between the photographer and the wedding car hire company and that if there are any 'specific requirements' above and beyond the norm that both parties need to be made aware of them prior to the wedding.  After all, we are working as a team to ensure all runs smoothly on the day for the benefit of the bride and groom.

On this occasion the father of the groom had reserved the car and with only a short timespan to the wedding was offered a very special rate which included as always a maximum half hour stop-off at a further location with the bride and groom before arriving at the reception venue, at no additional cost.  The Clifton Suspension Bridge was suggested and agreed at the time of reservation.

However, plans had been put in place prior to my knowledge for the photographer to take specific photographs at three further locations in addition to Clifton Suspension Bridge with the bride and groom, bridesmaids and bestman after the photographs at the church.  The period mentioned was for 'at least an hour' which probably means an hour and a half minimum in photography terms.  Unfortunately, we were not aware of these further locations or timescales involved and subsequently had not included them in our journey plan or costings. The couple continued onto the three further locations with the photographers and their car.

We are always happy to be involved in any specific requirements but we do need to be made aware of them prior to the wedding.

May we extend our sincere congratulations to the lovely couple, Arnel and Peter.

Paul & Nelsi's Wedding and their great friend Nicki!!

Some couples have such lovely friends and Paul and Nelsi have Nicki.  As a surprise for their wedding present, Nicki came to our home and reserved one of our ivory convertible's for her friends wedding as a complete surprise.  The couple thought they would catch a lift with one of their guests after they were married at The Bristol Registry Office but instead I was waiting outside with the car, sun was shining and the hood was down as instructed.  To see their faces as they looked over at the car was a real treat and they thoroughly enjoyed the journey to the Aztec Hotel in Almondsbury where they were having their wedding breakfast.  Toots and well wishes were in abundance as we drove up Park Street on Saturday afternoon and onto Whiteladies Road and Henleaze.  Congratulations to the happy couple and a big thank you to the lovely Nicki for making my day!!

Our own Royal Wedding - Clare & Tim - Eastwood Park

We enjoyed our own Royal Wedding yesterday in Bristol - Although Clare & Tim had prebooked their wedding in May 2010 a long while before the Royal Wedding had even been planned!  We collected Clare and her father from her home in Kingswood and travelled to Eastwood Park in Falfield where she married Tim at 1pm.  Asked if she had watched the 'other' wedding on the television, she replied that she was 'far too busy getting ready for her own wedding to watch someone else's'  !!  The couple enjoyed some 'chilling out' time together in the car and returned with the hood down on the car to awaiting guests outside the venue, what a lovely day!!  Congratulations and enjoy the Maldives!  Here's a photo of our own 'royal couple'  from lovely photographer Dawn Wilkins at http://www.dawndesign.co.uk/.  Many thanks Dawn and look forward to working with you again soon! Congratulations to Clare & Tim and enjoy the honeymoon!
