Wedding Photography - Bowden Hall Hotel, Gloucester, Gloucestershire

Steve & Tracey - 30th Aug 2009

The Bowden Hall has a beautiful art deco exterior and one that never fails to look fantastic in all wedding images.
I actually met Steve & Tracey at Bowden Hall for their consultation as well as shooting their pre-wedding session there.

I knew we were going to get on from the very first moment when Steve, Tracey and I exchanged some terrible jokes and had a similar love of puns.  Tracey expressed a love for candid reportage photography which perfectly suited my style.  After a cup of tea and a few poor jokes about the Hotel ducks I knew we would have a fantastic time.  And we did.

The infamous ducks - if you book Bowden Hall for your wedding keep about 20 spaces free on your guest list for these guys.

Steve putting some last minute touches to his speech.  I'm sure he's just adding more bad puns.

A moment of quiet reflection for Tracey.

The raunchiest cake of the year.

For a moment the jokes stop while Steve and Tracey pause to reflect that they are now man and wife.

While I was shooting the group shot from the roof the kids decide to terrorize the local residents.

Can anyone else see Johnny Rotten here?

Steve's stand-up speech went down very well - by the number of groans in the crowd.  Well, I thought he was funny.

The best man's speech - Steve got off very lightly as his Best Man was his Son.

No weddings are the same when it comes to the first dance.  I love shooting these moments.



A real terror and a lot of fun.

The Bowden Hall - I really do love the art deco form of this building.
