Winter Wedding at Rockbeare Manor
Here’s Jen and Chris’ Winter wedding at Rockbeare Manor in Devon. The day started in neighbouring Somerset where Chris was getting ready with the best man and ushers. I then headed over to Jen who was nearby at her parents home, getting ready with the bridesmaids. The wedding ceremony was at All Saints Church in Trull, Somerset, where Jen arrived in style with her Dad in a stunning white Rolls Royce wedding car. Church wedding photography can be challenging, especially in the Winter where light levels are low, but it’s always very rewarding. Guests gathered outside the church after the wedding ceremony for confetti, before the newly-weds left in an open-top Porsche for the wedding reception.
Devon Wedding Venue
This was my first Winter wedding at Rockbeare Manor near Exeter in Devon. It really is a great venue for a party – easily able to accommodate more than 150 guests. It’s also an exclusive use wedding venue which means guests can really get into the party atmosphere, with the option of staying the night in one of their luxurious bedrooms. Couples celebrating their wedding here become part of Rockbeare Manor history, which stretches back to 1760 when it was built for Sir John Duntze, a wool merchant and banker from Exeter and later MP for Tiverton. The Grade I listed building was renovated in 2015 to become the stunning wedding venue, while still keeping it’s historic roots.
Devon Documentary Wedding Photography
Although I’m based in Hertfordshire, I’m fortunate enough to travel across the UK to capture weddings across the country. In my previous photographic career as a news photojournalist at The Times, I spent many hours with fellow journalists and cameramen on the news stories of the day. That’s where I met Jen’s Father, Mark, a news TV cameraman who put Jen and Mark in touch with me when they were panning their wedding. Documentary wedding photography is great for couples who don’t want lots of posed photos and who would rather spend more time with their guests than standing in a line for group photos. https://rogerspictures.com/documentary-wedding-photographer.
