A Winter Wedding at Tortworth Court
Naomi & Rob originally booked me back in 2019, with plans for a 2020 wedding. Like many couples, they were forced to postpone — not once, but more than once. Over the months (and years), through emails and messages, it genuinely felt like I got to know them well.
Postponing a wedding isn’t just about moving a date. It’s emotional, personal, and often exhausting. As their final date approached, uncertainty still lingered — all they really wanted was to get married and move forward together.
And finally, they did.
The Day They’d Been Waiting For
Naomi & Rob’s winter wedding at Tortworth Court went ahead as planned, surrounded by family and friends. The sense of relief was palpable. There was no rushing, no pressure — just gratitude that the day had arrived at last.
Winter suited the venue perfectly. Inside, the spaces felt warm and welcoming; outside, the grounds added a quiet sense of scale without demanding attention. It was a day focused on togetherness rather than spectacle — exactly what Naomi & Rob wanted.
Documentary Wedding Photography at Tortworth Court
From a photography point of view, days like this are always deeply rewarding. When couples have waited so long, every moment carries extra weight.
My approach was simple: stay unobtrusive, let the day unfold, and capture the real interactions — the relief, the laughter, the hugs that linger a little longer than usual. This is where documentary wedding photography really comes into its own.
A Final Word
Congratulations Naomi & Rob — what a relief, and what a wedding. 🥂
