Sandra & Gavin - Roman Baths Wedding Photography

I never thought I would ever get the chance to photograph a wedding at the historic Roman Baths so when Sandra and Gavin asked me to document their wedding which was to take place there, I jumped at the chance!

It is such an iconic place that I couldn't help but start to get excited when they told me all about their plans of saying "I do" with their friends and family gathered around the baths themselves. What I hadn't realised was that you are only able to get married there at either sunrise or sunset - I suppose it makes sense when you think about the number of tourists that pass through the doors on any given day. Sandra and Gavin had chosen to get married at sunset - so romantic!

This being such a unique venue there were definitely a number of challenges posed by shooting a wedding there that you would not get at another venue. The lack of natural light was just the first challenge and then of course you have a massive great big pool of water that you have to avoid and lots of (admittedly beautiful!) columns and statues to work around. Of course, it didn't really matter because it simply provided a unique set of photographs which have their very own aesthetic and charm!

Below are a few of my favourite photos. The full set of images can be found here (the password can be obtained from Sandra or Gavin).
