Leigh Court wedding photography

It was such a joy to be back at the glorious Leigh Court in Bristol, especially to photograph such a wonderful couple. We were blessed with incredible October sunshine, and with a venue and grounds as stunning as this, the day couldn’t have been more perfect.

The ceremony took place in the Great Hall (which really does live up to its name!), where Danielle made a magical entrance down the breathtaking floating staircase. From that moment, the day was filled with laughter, love, and high spirits. The couple and their guests were definitely up for a celebration, giving me endless photographic opportunities.

After a round of hilarious and heartfelt speeches, we headed outside for an epic sparkler tunnel, lighting up the night. Back inside, everyone gathered around the dance floor to watch the couple’s first dance, before the DJ cranked up a playlist of 90s and early-noughties rock classics. It didn’t take long before the dance floor was full and everyone was showing off their best moves. A perfect end to a fantastic wedding day.

“We were both nervous about being the centre of attention on the big day but he succeeded in making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, which gave us the authentic shots we were after.”

“Simon was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! He took the time to really understand what we were looking for with the photos and used his experience to deliver that by always being in the right place at the right time.

Needless to say we were very excited to see the results and they did not disappoint! He has managed to capture the beauty of the venue, the spirit of the day and so many wonderful candid moments that we had missed. The only tricky part is figuring out which ones to get framed!“
