The ceremony took place outdoors with the water behind them and Glastonbury Tor visible in the distance. There was no heavy styling because the location already carried the story. Jessie and Simon exchanged vows surrounded by people sitting on benches and picnic blankets which made the whole moment feel grounded, unforced and true to them. When the applause came, it came with whoops and cheers that fit the scene.

After the ceremony guests stayed outside, drifting between shaded spots, drinks tables and the lake edge. The space at Thorney Lakes allowed every interaction to breathe which made the candid coverage rich and varied. For a short portrait session we used the waterline, the long grass and the view of the Tor to create images that root the gallery in Somerset rather than in a generic outdoor setting.

The reception shaped itself rather than being driven by schedule. Food was shared informally, speeches happened when the moment felt right and music played while people talked, ate and moved through the space. As evening dropped the light softened across the lakes, and the party settled into that perfect summer pace — small groups under festoon lights, children still running, guitars and dancing under open sky.

Weddings at Thorney Lakes Campsite are for couples who want freedom more than formality. You get land, water, light and horizon instead of walls and structure. For anyone drawn to days that feel lived rather than staged, this kind of setting makes sense. With Glastonbury Tor in view and the sound of a lakeside crowd carrying across the evening, Jessie and Simon created a wedding that could not have happened anywhere else.
