Victoria and Philip were married at Clearwell Castle, which must be one of the magical places in the South of England. We love any opportunity to photograph weddings at this amazing medieval and elegant Castle in The Forrest of Dean. Tori and all her bridesmaids which were her four sisters, were getting ready at the castle in the keepers cottage along with their Mum. Can you imagine how much fun they were all having, getting ready for Tori's big day ? Phil, with his two best men and ushers were getting ready in a different part of the castle, and were demonstrating their prowess with the ironing board! Tori looked stunning as she walked up the isle with her Mum. With most registrars being more relaxed about allowing photographers to capture some of the special moments of the Wedding ceremony, I was able to get great shots of Tori and Phil exchanging their rings and sealing the marriage with a kiss - thanks guys ! Now remember, this is the middle of December, it's freezing cold outside and there is a roaring fire just inside (AND A BAR) Somehow we persuaded all the guests to brave the cold and come outside for some pictures. Tori who must have been shivering, and Phil braved the cold while we shot all the family pictures we had planned, and even allowed us to shoot some great images as we had a quck tour of the castle grounds - much respect ! Clearwell Castle never fails to make every wedding very very special. The food was first class and the speeches were great. The evening party down in the cellar was a big hit with everyone, and as the disco went on, the dancing got pretty crazy ! By the time we left, we could see that all the guests had a wonderfull day.
