RUTH GARNER - THIS YEAR'S OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

We're incredibly lucky this year to have the wonderful Ruth Garner acting as our official photographer.  With her informal, yet professional style of photography, Ruth has a reputation for her acute attention to detail and relaxed approach to wedding and portrait photography, creating candid and natural reportage shots of your day.

Ruth Garner realised she loved being behind the lens at age eight, when she got her first camera! After completing a BA Hons degree at the University of Plymouth in 2003, Ruth went on to launch her photography business and since then has witnessed over 50 weddings, photographed tens of newborns and shot photographic assignments through the UK and all over the world.

With her informal, yet professional style of photography, Ruth has a reputation for her fantastic service and a love of her clients.  Every client is special to her and, as she says "I believe that your wedding day will pass you by in such a flash that you should only be concerned with having a good time.  As such you can leave the worry of your photos to me, safe in the knowledge that I've got my eye on everything."

You'll see Ruth in action around the venue, so do feel free to chat to her about her work - and watch this space for her photos of the day!

FT PHOTOGRAPHY - CAPTURING OUR DAY AT THE DAFFODIL!

We're incredibly lucky to have the wonderfully talented Frances Taylor - Bristol Wedding Photographer and her partner, Chris Cardwell, as our 'official' photographers at The Daffodil on Sunday!

Having worked with and known Frances for several years now, I can tell you how passionate she is about photography - her camera is practically an extension of her arm and taking pictures is an every day part of her life.  If there's a photo to be taken, Frances will capture it beautifully!

Frances is just lovely to work with - laid-back, funny, easygoing, but with an incredible eye for detail - when you think she's just snapping away, she's actually making fabulous memories as second nature!  

Now working in partnership with Chris Cardwell, they cover all types of photography but specialise in wedding photography, engagements and family portraits.  Their gallery gives you a taste of their amazing range and fabulous style and their clients love them.  You'll see the pair of them around the venue on Sunday, so do give them a smile! 

We love working with them and we can't wait to see the photos for the day!

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE FAIR

I always say that it's the exhibitors that make the fair and this year it was more beautiful than ever.  It felt a bit like walking into a fairytale and I was spoilt being surrounded by so much gorgeousness!

We were lucky enough to have the brilliant Pete Cranston acting as our 'official photographer'.   Pete spent most of the day, camera in hand, capturing the essence of the fair on film and, I think you'll agree, the results are pretty amazing!

   

I'm really thrilled to have some photos of my own Bristol Vintage table to add to the portfolio. 

The flowers are by the super-talented Kirstie of Ruby and the Wolf.

I can't tell you how much I love  Lisa Keating's beautiful corsetry and dresses.
