Today I’m happy to finally present Nadia and Dan’s Old Down Manor wedding photos. Over the Christmas break I’ve been slowly but surely making my way through them. I love this bit of the process. It takes me right back to the wedding day and all of the emotion. It was such a beautiful winter wedding with hints of Christmas everywhere (although no snow alas!)
It was great to be part of their big day and a huge thank you to Nadia, Dan, their friends and family for being such warm hosts. Their winter wedding had a bit of a continental feel as a lot of the guests spoke French. It was great to listen to and the sound of the language (for me) provided a little bit more romanticism to the day. It was also quite fun to listen to as I used to live in France for a few years so I had a cheeky listen-in when possible!
Old Down Manor is a really nice wedding venue located just outside of Bristol. The converted house made for a stunning, warm, light, modern venue and really suited the vibe of the wedding. As well as the modern quirky vibe there are lots of older areas with plenty of personality. Thankfully the weather remained bright (although slightly chilly) and we managed to explore the gardens for a few more creative photos.
Nadia looked incredible in her Jesus Peiro wedding dress. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone look so happy as Nadia did when getting in to that dress! I like to think that the photos prove that. Dan looked pretty handsome too ;o) I feel as though I should also give a shout out to Suzanne at Central Rose in Bristol for the wedding flowers. They looked (and smelt!) incredible.
Also a big thanks to the Olivia and the staff at Old Down Manor for looking after us so well during the day.
Lastly, big love to Brett Symes for being my wingman for the day. If it’s a ‘venue shot’ – Brett took it.
