Lauren + Keir's Summer Wedding - Maunsel House, Somerset

Well what an amazing and action packed day we had with Lauren and Keir at Maunsel House in Somerset!

The venue was the most perfect setting for their Pagan wedding held outdoors within the grounds in the glorious sunshine. Couldn’t ask for a better day from start to finish…

The day started with the girls getting ready in The Kings Room - an amazing backdrop with a feast of details for us to photograph in amoungst the action of makeup and hair. The boys got ready in another wing of the house, it was great being in the same location as we had plenty of time to get some fun shots of them.

The pagan ceremony was a new one for us, including handfasting (showing love and commitment to each other in front of your friends and family, while also showing the world that you are committed) and broom jumping (is an old pagan custom that was once used for good luck in marriage ceremonies. The idea behind it is to sweep away any past negativity from your life before you start fresh with your spouse). The four elements air, fire, water and earth was also featured. All really interesting, within the most perfect setting.

This ceremony was followed by a feast of grazing tables and hilarious speeches, with all friends and family raucous laughing.

The rest of the day was filled with archery and games, a cigar bar, sparklers, a family guest singer, and a band to finish. All-in-all a fabulous, entertaining fun day - one which we won’t forget in a hurry.
