Hannah & Tom
Written By John Paiva
Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol
Hannah’s wedding day started at her newly warmed home, just a short drive away from the venue in Bristol.
Her immediate family and bridal party were there, prepping last-minute speeches and arranging bouquets. It was great to capture the happy chaos of these preparations, as well as moments of the family just being together.
We then reconvened at Arnos Vale Cemetery for the remainder of the day. The wedding was set across three idyllic venues within the grounds including an open barn structure for the ceremony, a grand hall for the wedding breakfast and a cosy dance space and patio for the evening.
“We loved how the photos were so natural and candid, as well as beautifully framed - looking at them really transported you back to the day.”
“John’s photos really captured the essence of the day, it felt like we were reliving it through the photos! Looking though the photos brought back all the emotions of the day - excitement in the morning getting ready, teary eyes in the ceremony, and laughs in the speeches. We loved being reminded of all those silly moments - being reminded of the bride’s mum pulling scissors out of her handbag to cut the tag off the wedding ring in the middle of the ceremony was a particular highlight!”
