Late Summer Wedding at Priston Mill

Rob and Pattie

Rob and Pattie’s September wedding at Priston Mill was a gorgeous late-summer celebration full of warmth, laughter, and countryside charm. Set against the rustic backdrop of this historic Somerset venue, their day combined natural beauty with relaxed elegance. From the soft golden light in the gardens to the lively atmosphere inside the Tythe Barn, every moment of their Priston Mill wedding told a story of joy, connection and love.

The morning started slowly and happily, with prep taking place in calm surroundings that made space for nerves and excitement to sit side by side. Friends drifted in and out, ties were fixed, speeches were practised and everyone seemed to feel the privilege of being there. Outside the grounds looked incredible in late-summer colour, with warm light sitting on the stone walls and garden borders.

Their ceremony took place in a characterful space that suits Priston Mill so well, where the focus stayed firmly on people rather than styling. When Pattie made her entrance the room fell quiet in that perfect way that tells you everyone is fully present. Vows were delivered with real emotion, then the mood flipped instantly to applause and relief as the two of them walked back down the aisle with wide smiles and linked hands.

Drinks and canapés flowed outside while guests roamed the lawns, taking in the scenery and catching up in the softer September temperatures. We took a short window for photographs around the grounds, working with the golden hour light that makes Priston Mill so special at this time of year. Everything felt unhurried, and that sense of ease came through in the pictures.

The Tythe Barn looked incredible for the wedding breakfast, with long tables, warm light and styling that suited the space without fighting it. Speeches landed beautifully, with the perfect mix of sentiment and humour, and the atmosphere only built from there. By the time the evening began the place had turned into a full celebration with dancing, noise and that feeling you only get when everyone has fully relaxed into the night.

Late-summer weddings at Priston Mill have a rare balance. You still get the richness of outdoor light and space, but with the comfort of cooler evenings that pull everyone closer together indoors. Rob and Pattie’s day showed exactly how well this venue performs when the focus is on people, connection and a natural flow instead of rigid timings.

If you are planning a Priston Mill wedding in Somerset and you want relaxed documentary coverage that protects the feel of the day while still delivering beautiful storytelling images, I would love to talk through your plans.
