Try as I might, I can’t seem to cut this blog post down to fewer images. I’m so sorry! It’s just that Alex & Billy’s wedding was pretty much perfection in terms of what I love about weddings. I can’t believe how I’d never heard about the gorgeous and quirky venue, Maunsel House, before! Everything about it was just an absolute bliss for a photographer.
The beauty didn’t stop just at the all the idiosyncratic details of the venue and the cutest little chapel, there were also the exquisite flower arrangements by Emma Vowles, the glorious cake of cheese by The Cheese Shed & delicious looking food by Posh Nosh – and that’s even before mentioning Alex’s beautiful beautiful wedding gown by Tara Keeley. Add to all this visual feast the lovely relaxed atmosphere of friends and family getting together on a beautiful summer’s day in the West Country, and you have pretty much my perfect event summed up.
I do want to give a special shout out to the wonderful Pippa at Maunsel House, who took such good care of me (especially since this was one of the rare weddings where I didn’t have Susanna with me to keep me in check!), thank you for being so amazing.
And of course, thank you to Alex & Billy. I’m so happy you wanted me to join you on your special day, and I truly hope you will be as blissfully happy for the rest of your life as you were on the day. x
I love the sequence of the last three pics as a closure to the day. Amazing wedding and perfect pictures, as usual.
Love it! My faves are with white pigeon in the background. White pigeons are for luck, you know? ;-)
Absolutely beautiful. Really looks like an amazing day, with such attention paid to the details, love all the photos of the couple. Stunning photography Marianne. Really beautiful work, so inspirational. Looks like it was a truly amazing day! Xx
Seriously lovely venue! Loving that copper bath. I want one! Love the little photos of everyone on the table too. Good work sweetie. Top notch. x
What an amazing location. And perfect photos, as always!
Marianne. You get me every time. Beautiful captures of everybody. x
These are gorgeous! That’s an amazing location.
Marianne, this is absolutely beautiful. Amazing location and lovely light.
Be still my beating heart. oh.my.goodness. Marianne!! Did you jump up and down and scream like a little girl when you saw this place? This wedding is perfection in every single ounce of the word. And boy oh boy did you do it perfect justice!! Gosh, I’d give a left leg to have held your bags ;)
I hope to get you to photograph my wedding one day :) Every post of yours on this blog leaves me speechless.
love love love :)
Looking at your photographs is like watching a movie. If you are not a photographer you are a movie director. What a beautiful location, pretty people and lovely photography.
marianne, your weddings are amazing. truly lovely stuff everytime i visit.
wow, beautiful work. I like your processing style!
Marianne! You nailed it..AGAIN! In all fairness though, this venue looks amazing and you were blessed with a super awesome looking Alexandra and Billy!
Those images of Alexandra putting her dress on are all amazing. Well done on some incredible wedding coverage and congrats to the happy couple!
Um. Who are these people. And what sort of place is this. Because it should be illegal to have that many adorable people gathered in a place that beautiful with a bride that stunning. Not fair. These were ALL candy for the eyes, and I LOVE THE STORY YOU TOLD. What a beautiful wedding and beautiful story. It’s actually ridiculous.
as usual AMAZING Photography!
Love all the details. Beautiful location and couple.
Just…I can’t even… GORGEOUS! I agree with Sarah, should have been illegal. Also, the bride looks like the actress Radha Mitchell. Stunning!
These are absolutely amazeballs! Seriously, these are so awesome it hurts a little bit. I adore the portraits and all the detail shots. Freaking beautiful!
Special place, couple and photography; love your work.
Wowie… What an amazing venue! I love all the shots of the bride getting ready… what an gorgeous room. I’m glad you didn’t shorten then post :D

It’s always tops with your work isn’t it :-) Love this coverage Marianne! I’m also really liking the rebrand. It fits nicely with your stunning work.
Oh Marianne, you blow my mind every time. Your way of story telling is one of a kind.
What a beautiful wedding, such a lovely room to get ready in. I love your work and look forward to keeping up with it.
So beautiful, Marianne!
What a storybook wedding.
That’s a great looking venue. I see they even throw in a peacock!
Lovely shots, and so many of them. The B & G must be very happy.
Beautiful story – definitely a wedding fit for the royals!
What an incredibly gorgeous wedding at a beautiful location, and stunning images!
I’m going to crawl in these photos and live there forever.
I just found your blog through SMP, and I absolutely LOVE your work! This wedding is stunning, I will be a follower from now on ;).
That second dress shot blows my mind. The amount of detail and visual interest in the room… perfect! I love your work.
