Warmwell house is a beautiful family home that is opened up only a few times a year for a few lucky couples to get hitched. A beautifully secluded venue with stunning gardens, each room was full of personality. Bex and David and their parents/bridal party were able to stay at Warmwell house the night before, meaning no panic of getting to the venue on time! I always think it’s worth doing this if possible, or stay somewhere close to the venue, this eliminates the stress of a long journey with potential traffic or a long journey that diminishes the energy of the day.
Bex was extremely chilled out whilst getting ready, as was David. In fact, one of David’s best men actually seemed a lot more nervous than anyone else! I absolutely love it when brides and grooms get ready in the same venue, it just allows for a lot more back and forth movement which really captures the story of the day.
The guests parked up and trod through the puddles and stone floors to get to the ceremony room which looked out onto the gardens. Everyone had a massive smile on their faces as Bex walked down the aisle and David held back the tears. We moved quickly after the ceremony to grab a few shots outside before the rain really kicked in. The Lady of the house had already told me that we were welcome to go everywhere, so we walked through all the gardens to the vegetable plot and then slowly walked back towards the house. I always like to start furthest away so that the bride and groom are slowly walking back to their guests rather than away from them!
Bex was very keen to emphasize that they were a very relaxed couple and there would be no dancing or disco as such, instead there would be a meal, speeches and then games and tea and general merriment! Sometimes I feel Brides are embarrassed about the different approach they take about celebrating, feeling that it’s not the norm, but please don’t feel that way! I embrace it all! It’s your day, you do you and it’ll be the best day of all! Don’t be pressured into celebrating magazine style – I LOVE all quirks of a wedding, so I’ll be there with open arms!
