A Bristol to Leigh Court Wedding

Filled with Love, Light and Laughter

Hannah and Ieuan’s wedding at Leigh Court in October 2022 was a beautiful autumn celebration blending city energy with countryside elegance. Their day began with preparations in Bristol City Centre at the Marriott, where calm anticipation, laughter, and family moments set the perfect tone for a day full of joy. As a Bristol wedding photographer, capturing these early moments ensured the story of the day started before the ceremony even began.

The couple’s ceremony and reception were held at Leigh Court, one of Bristol’s most versatile and historic venues. With grand interiors, landscaped gardens, and flexible event spaces, Leigh Court provided the perfect backdrop for both intimate moments and larger celebrations. Steel & Oak were on hand as videographers, capturing complementary cinematic memories alongside the photography.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks and mingled across the beautifully maintained grounds, taking in the autumnal colours and seasonal light. Couple portraits were taken throughout the estate, using terraces, gardens, and architectural details to create timeless, natural images. As a Leigh Court wedding photographer, I focused on capturing authentic interactions, candid smiles, and the overall story of the day in a relaxed, unobtrusive way.

The reception combined heartfelt speeches, laughter, and elegant details, flowing seamlessly into the evening’s celebrations. Autumnal lighting and décor highlighted the warmth of the day, while the privacy and charm of Leigh Court allowed everyone to fully relax and enjoy the celebrations.

Hannah and Ieuan’s wedding showcases why Leigh Court remains one of the South West’s most sought-after venues for couples seeking elegance, history, and versatility. For couples looking for a Bristol wedding photographer or a Leigh Court wedding photographer, this celebration demonstrates how storytelling photography can capture every detail, emotion, and timeless memory from prep to first dance.
