A beautiful Bristol wedding

We’re super excited to share this gorgeous wedding from last October with you.  It was a crisp autumn day, a little chilly in the shade but otherwise the perfect autumn day for a wedding.

Chris and Nic met at university in Cardiff and on graduating they both found jobs in Bristol.  Having made Bristol their home Chris proposed to Nic on the city’s iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge.

As we were planning their wedding photography with them they mentioned that they would love to bring elements of the bridge into their photos.  We checked out a few locations whilst shooting their engagement portraits, but none of them felt quite right.

Arriving in town the night before the wedding and despite not knowing the city we were determined to find that perfect spot for their couples portraits.  After an hour on Google maps we though we had it so even though it was dark we jumped in the car to check it out. It was the most perfect spot.  We could not wait to take them there the next day…

Here are some of our favourite photos from their wedding!

After the ceremony they no longer had use of the official wedding car, and so Chris and Nic put their faith in us – strangers to the city – whilst a friend of theirs pimped his car up with some white ribbon and the five of us went off on a little adventure in search of the Clifton Suspension Bridge…

Thank you Google – the location was perfect and exactly what Chris and Nic had in mind. Look at some of the awesome photos, aren’t they the most stunning of couples!
