A beautiful spring wedding


Patrick and Rachel had a gorgeous spring wedding at The Cider Barn, Dillington Estate in Ilminster, an exclusive Somerset wedding venue.

Spring pastel bouquets and flower crowns


Mismatched pastel bridesmaid dresses


The girls all chose their own dress, choosing a colour and style they liked, following a pastel colour scheme. The wedding day was the first time they all saw the dresses together and how incredible do they look?! Paired with beautiful spring bouquets, the bridal party looking stunning.

Personalised cards from the bride


Rachel wrote a personalised card for each member of her bridal party. Such a special touch to include on the morning of your wedding. The cards brought laughter and tears to the morning.

How stunning does this bridal party look?!

The sweetest two little flower girls that you've ever seen!

After the beautiful ceremony, it was time for confetti, one of my favourite parts of a wedding day!

The Cider Barn was decorated beautifully with simple, rustic elegance

After the ceremony it was time for drinks and canapes, my favourite time for getting candid shots of you and your guests enjoying themselves

The flower girls continued to be adorable and we snapped a few quick photos of them playing whilst everyone was finishing their meals inside.

Drinks, dining and speeches followed


As evening came, the band arrived and it was time for Patrick and Rachel's first dance, followed by an evening of boogieing!
