Ali and Rachel were the winners of our 2015 Big Wedding Day Giveaway and actually thought we weren’t being serious when we contacted to tell them they had won, Rachel couldn’t believe it and ended up giving us to ring to make sure it was all legit!! We were also pretty surprised when we started arranging a meet up with them only to find out they lived in Australia! Although being a Welsh girl and an English boy they had decided to tie the knot a little closer to home in Aldwick Court Farm just outside Bristol. Seeing as Australia was a bit of a far jaunt for a wedding consultation (although we could do with the holiday!) we instead had a number of email conversations and quite a few conference calls between the 4 of us, eventually getting to meet in person just 1 week before the wedding over some nice coffee’s (and a milkshake for Jon) in Cardiff. Ali and Rachel are a super laid back couple and really just wanted their wedding to be a fun chilled out event, which of course suited us completely.
So back in July 2015, on a crisp blue skied day we arrived at the stunning Aldwick Court Farm and Vineyard. The boys and most of the family were getting ready just a 5 minute walk up the country lane in a rented farm house and Rachel and her Bridesmaid were just about to start having their hair and make up done in the cottage on site, it was all so calm and relaxed! We got a quick tour of the site and set to work capturing this truly beautiful day. There were lots of laughs, lots of wine (as you’d expected in a Vineyard) and luckily not a drop of rain! The night ended on a high with some crazy dance moves and a rather splendid cheese and crackers selection (well, you can’t have wine without cheese right!) personally selected by Rachels Mum and Dad on a cheese tasting day at a local cheese makers.
Here are just a few of the photos from Ali and Rachel’s Aldwick Court Farm Wedding, we loved so many it was hard to chose. Fingers crossed we get to shoot another wedding there one day.
