Occasionally we take the opportunity to have a little holiday ourselves and discover new places and of course take photographs!!

We’d like to tell you about an exceptional B&B that we stayed in while photographing Ben & Anne Marie’s wedding at Orchardleigh Estate in Somerset.
It’s called the Plaine and is situated in the historic village of Norton St Philip nr Bath.

The Plaine is run by Steph and Giles who are exceptionally friendly and helpful. They cook a mean breakfast too!! Using fresh local produce and served in their 16th Century beamed dining room.

Each of the rooms is luxuriously furnished, exceptionally clean and spacious (surprising for a B&B). They have luxury Four Poster, Kingsize or twin bedded rooms.

The pretty village has easy access to Bath and Frome with regular buses into Bath where parking can be difficult, therefore you can have a stress free day shopping and be back home in time for dinner. Norton St Philip has England’s Oldest Inn ‘The George’ literally across the road and there is also a lovely restaurant. From this base you can visit Bath, Wells, Longleat, Stonehenge and Cheddar Gorge and Giles is always on hand to give you the local knowledge on the best and prettiest routes to your destination if you do decide to take the car.

Have a look at their website and let us know what you think, we’ve also put a few of our favourite images from the village:

It was fabulous day, the weather was stunning, the Barn looked gorgeous and we got to meet lots of new people. Jane, Lisa & Hillary did a fabulous job and we were so impressed with the organisation, attention to detail and friendliness of all there.

The day was very busy and so if you didn’t get to speak to us directly then please give us a call as we’d love to chat about your wedding plans.

We met so many couples planning their special day, some just finalising details for their wedding this year and others just starting their search. The Open Day was great as it showcased many different suppliers who could help with all aspects of the day.

It was also great to meet up with some old friends: Jen & James at Kalm Kitchen (Caterers), Carole at Tandem (Caterers), Chris from Chess (DJ), Gill Pike (Florist), Nick & Claire Stow (Cars), Rupert at Taurus Wines (Independent Wine Merchants) and Antonia from Elle Au Naturel (Make-up and Hair Artist). It was lovely to catch up on their news and see the new products.

Kalm Kitchen had their fantastically gorgeous chocolate brownies on offer, you will never taste a better brownie! Gill Pike had some lovely new flower table decorations which looked stunning and Nick and Claire Stow from Cars for all Occasions had photographs from the Colin Firth new movie which was filmed in London and featured their car. Imagine travelling to you wedding in the very car that Mr Darcy has sat in!!

We also got to meet new people, Rollercoaster (Band), Cranleigh Cupcakes, Talisman Chauffeur Cars, Rae Oakley (Hats), Simon Alexander (Magician) and David from Talisman Chauffeur Cars. We’ve put links to all their websites below.

Cranleigh Cupcakes are a tremendous find, their cakes are stunning with such attention to detail and variety of designs. They can even make bespoke Bride and Groom cake toppers with little touches that show off your personality. All their sales support breast cancer charities as this was the motivating factor behind the start of the company. They are an exceptional find and we hope to write an article about them on our blog in the coming months.

In our quieter times Richard was able to take a few photographs on his mobile phone which you can see below (the cupcakes look especially gorgeous!):

Thank you to everyone involved on the day and we look forward to a lovely year of beautiful weddings at Gate Street Barn.

Some snaps:

We’ve seen several techniques over the years, guys tend to like a pint at the local pub with the groomsmen. Fathers of the brides like that idea too but don’t often get the opportunity!!

Brides enjoy a glass of champagne, a visit to the beauty spa, a couple of drops of ‘Bachs Rescue Remedy’ or a good chat with their friends. Mum’s tend to wander from room to room checking out their hat!

The most novel way of relaxing was Angharad’s approach at her wedding in October. Here’s a picture of her practicing her piano scales just before putting on her makeup!! It certainly worked well for her she was very relaxed by the time she got to the church!

Yesterday we launched this new blog. We’ll be a lot more pro-active now in putting here much more information about our work, our wedding photography and just getting married in general.

Over the next few weeks you’ll see more articles about wedding venues and wedding services. We’ve often taken photographs at someone’s wedding and met other wedding service providers such as DJs, florists, makeup artists, bands and so on that have really impressed us with their service and we’ve wanted to recommend them. The thing is, it’s so time consuming to update the main Capture It website that we haven’t been able to tell you about all these wonderful people that we’ve come across. But now with this new blog it’s much, much faster to add a new entry and give you the necessary links to their websites.

So how do you use this site? Apart from seeing which weddings we’ve been to over the last few weeks, you can search the site, or use the categories, to find our recommendations or advice on a great way to have a wedding. We’ll add categories for wedding venues and wedding services that will help you to locate the advice, recommendations and, where possible, wedding photos of the subject under discussion.

If you’re totally addicted to weddings or photography (and we know some of you are), then you can subscribe to this site. The site can let you know by e-mail of any new posts or, if you have a RSS reader, you can have the new posts sent there.

So please have a look around and if you have any suggestions on how to improve the site then just add a comment and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
