Congratulations Lucy & Nick!<\/p>\n
The day Nick contacted me was the same day Lucy\u2019s Mum got in touch (I don\u2019t think she believed Nick when he said he was going to message me) so it was a bit of a weird conversation, not only because I\u2019d already had a very similar conversation that morning, but because it took me a while to work out that I already\u00a0knew Lucy, her Dad and her Mum!\u00a0I dated\u00a0Lucy\u2019s cousin back when I was at school, so actually knew a good portion of her family – although I hadn’t\u00a0really seen them since I left school.<\/p>\n
Normally when I photograph a wedding, I don\u2019t know anyone and I\u2019ve only met the couple once or twice. So, it was lovely to document a wedding with so many familiar faces. Even avid followers of my work may spot some people they recognise. I photographed Gemma & Andy\u2019s wedding back last year and Andy was one of Nick\u2019s Ushers. Due to the intimate way I photograph, I normally leave\u00a0a wedding feeling like\u00a0I’ve known everyone for years\u00a0but I genuinely had a connection to these guys – so that was really nice. Lucy and Nick are a lovely couple and are both surrounded by awesome friends and amazing family.<\/p>\n
I arrived at Lucy\u2019s parents house in the morning, everyone was super excited and ready to get started! Lucy\u2019s hair was done by her Auntie and her make-up by her Cousin – who also prepared an awesome wedding playlist. It always makes the day so much more personal when you can get friends or family involved and it was a proper team effort.<\/p>\n
Lucy & Nick had their ceremony at St John\u2019s Church in Warminster, and then after a few formal group shots headed off to Wick Farm for the reception. Wick Farm<\/a> is a beautiful barn conversion just off the A36 on the way to Bath. The weather wasn\u2019t anywhere as nice as it had been earlier in the week, but it certainly didn\u2019t stop the fun. There\u2019s a lovely outside area with large umbrellas over looking the lake and plenty of space inside. And in all honesty, it didn\u2019t rain that much as you can see from the photos.<\/p>\n There were plenty of laughs in the speeches. Nick\u2019s best man (despite being super nervous) absolutely killed it. Lucy & Nick\u2019s wedding cake (made by a family friend) had miniature models of them on the top and Krispy Kreme doughnuts for the lower tiers. Their band, Anthem<\/a> were awesome and absolutely rocked it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
