Summer Wedding at

Avon Gorge Hotel

Claire & Carl, July 2021

Claire and Carl’s July wedding at the Avon Gorge Hotel in Bristol was a sun-soaked celebration filled with warmth, laughter, and breathtaking views of the city. The day began with relaxed preparations in the hotel, capturing the excitement, smiles, and natural moments that set the tone for an unforgettable celebration. As an Avon Gorge Hotel wedding photographer and Bristol wedding photographer, I was able to document every genuine interaction from start to finish.

The ceremony took place in the hotel, overlooking the dramatic Avon Gorge. Friends and family shared in the couple’s joy, and the light-filled space made each glance, smile, and tear feel cinematic. After the ceremony, Claire and Carl stepped outside for a walk and couple portraits near the Clifton Suspension Bridge, combining the iconic landmark with the relaxed energy of their day. This mix of hotel elegance and natural beauty created images full of storytelling and timeless emotion.
