Claire Ashdown and Tom Church were married on 22nd October at Bath Abbey, followed by a wedding breakfast and reception at The Park Resort nr Bath ( www.theparkresort.co.uk). This part of Claire and Toms' wedding day was expertly organised by Jenny who is the events manager at The Park Resort.
Despite torrential rain during most of the day we captured some amazing images at The Abbey and earlier with Claires preparations at Melanie Giles hair salon in The City centre (www.melanie-giles.co.uk ). where the bridal make up was created by Claire's best friend Cami, a highly skilled television and film make up artist ( camilla_k_r@hotmail.com ).
After the ceremony, in the historical Bath Abbey, we relaxed and had a fun time with the bridal party walking through the streets of Bath taking photographs amongst the tourists. The warm honey stone Georgian buildings provided us with numerous photographic opportunities and this allowed us to create a fusion of substance and style.
Claire's exquisite wedding gown was designed by Max Chaoul couture and sold exclusively through Rachel Couture ( www.rachelelbazcouture.com )at her Knightsbridge boutique. This was co-ordinated with an amazing hair accessory by Edwina Ibbotson (
Transport for the day was arranged with Englands Finest car company in Bristol, run by the ever efficient Jayne who even acted as unofficial bridesmaid by carrying Claire's dress into the reception! ( www.englandsfinest.co.uk ).
Videography for the day was provided by Ross and Amelia at (www.firebird-films.com).
