BRISTOL Wedding Photographer
Capturing Naturally Beautiful Moments
So, you have made the exciting decision to get married at the fabulous Mount Without and are now beginning to explore some of the very first steps regarding what to do next. In this case, allow me to extend my help and offer useful advice on what to consider for achieving the best photographs from your special wedding day. By this point, you will have likely drawn up a rough timeline and vision for your wedding celebration, so please do not hesitate to ask for my opinion. This is particularly important when trying to calculate how much time you should allow for capturing your pictures. The time of year you have booked your wedding will have a significant impact on the way the estate is displayed, and while this might not seem like a major factor, it is definitely worth considering. The quality of light is the single most important aspect in photography and can remarkably alter both the look and feel of the images taken. The Mount Without offers fantastic lighting conditions, and in the event of the charming yet often unpredictable British weather, it lends itself beautifully to creating both stunning couple portraits and, of course, the obligatory group photo that you will cherish for years to come.
capturing the best photos at THE mount without
I simply love taking wedding pictures at the stunning Mount Without, which is an exclusive wedding venue beautifully situated on the historical Bristol landmark os St Michaels Church in the heart of the city centre. This alternative wedding venue is located at the top of the Christmas stairs and also benefits from having on the best views of Bristol’s diverse city from atop the bell tower of the church, offering endless opportunities for captivating photographs. The Mount Without features a beautifully restored thatched barn and sawmill, along with luxurious estate accommodations, creating an idyllic place to gather your closest family and friends for an unforgettable weekend filled with cherished memories. Whether capturing enchanting moments around the estate's meticulously maintained walled garden or utilizing the soft natural light in the charming Woodyard, there is always the opportunity to be as creative as possible while exploring the many diverse spaces that Worstead has to offer. The thoughtful use of high-quality materials and the care and attention to detail during the estate's extensive refurbishment of the Woodyard truly lend themselves to creating stunning and memorable pictures.
A Brief History of the mount without, bristol
Let me start by saying that The Mount Without is undoubtedly not just any ordinary wedding venue; it is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking venues not just in Bristol, but perhaps in the entire UK as a whole. The magnitude of the ambitious project to transform what used to be a church into such a unique and stunning wedding venue is nothing short of truly remarkable. After collecting the keys to the derelict site of St Michaels Church back in 2020, there was unfortunately no roof, and the building looked worlds apart from the beautifully finished structure as it stands today. The crypt was skillfully excavated by 600mm to make way for a superior area designed specifically to allow couples and their guests to party the night away. The way that this beautifully restored building presents itself speaks volumes about the unwavering dedication and passion of the talented team at The Mount Without.
