Stuart & Paula’s wedding at Sheldon Manor

A young bride wearing a bright red wedding dress sits amongst the flowers on her wedding day at Sheldon Manor in Chippenham

I can’t believe it has been this long since I have updated my blog. This past few months have just been a bit mad for me what with more than double the wedding bookings of last year and other things on my plate too.

Last year I photographed a really beautiful wedding at Sheldon Manor near Chippenham. It is a stunning venue, the website really doesn’t do it justice. Maybe I can with the photos below because I was there again this year at a similar time to last year.

I just loved the ruffles under this unique wedding dress. You can see her matching red shoes peaking out too.

It’s not often you hear someone playing a piano during the wedding ceremony.

I much prefer real flower petals than metallic confetti, and plenty of red in there again to match the dress.

So much confetti! I’m sure the flower girls found a good use for it and didn’t let it go to waste.

It’s good to have some foreground interest in wedding photos as it gives the image depth and a sense of scale.

A dash of white flowers against a classic iron gate and a shallow depth of field frames them well.

I love Sheldon Manor, as it’s gardens encourage people to wander about, chat and enjoy themselves out in the open.

A little bit of atmosphere in this evening photo not long before I left Sheldon Manor. Hopefully I’ll be back again soon.
