Quantock Lakes Wedding Photography – Tilly & Lewis
As a Somerset wedding photographer, I have had the pleasure of capturing love stories in some truly spectacular locations. Quantock Lakes, nestled in the heart of the Somerset countryside, is one of those venues that never fails to amaze. Tilly & Lewis chose this breathtaking spot for their wedding, and it was a day filled with love, laughter, and stunning scenery.
Bridal & Groom Prep at Quantock Lakes
The morning of the wedding began with Tilly getting ready in The Farmhouse at Quantock Lakes. This charming and spacious house is perfect for bridal preparations, offering plenty of natural light and a relaxed atmosphere for the bridal party. Tilly, surrounded by her closest friends and family, enjoyed a morning of excitement, champagne, and final touches to her elegant look.
Meanwhile, just a short walk away, Lewis and his groomsmen were preparing in The Posh Piggery. This stylish and rustic space is a fantastic option for the groom, offering a comfortable setting to get ready while still feeling part of the venue’s picturesque surroundings. Laughter and anticipation filled the air as the gents prepared for the big moment ahead.
A Beautiful Church Ceremony
With preparations complete, the wedding party made their way to St. Mary's Church, just down the road from Quantock Lakes. This quaint and historic church provided the perfect backdrop for an intimate and heartfelt ceremony. Tilly looked radiant as she walked down the aisle, and the joy on Lewis’s face was unmistakable. Vows were exchanged, rings were placed, and with a cheer from their guests, Tilly & Lewis were officially husband and wife!
Reception & Celebration at Quantock Lakes
Following the ceremony and the confetti throw, guests returned to Quantock Lakes for an unforgettable celebration. This venue offers an incredible combination of rustic charm and modern elegance. The barns, with their exposed beams, fairy lights, and stunning views over the lakes, create an inviting and warm atmosphere for a wedding reception.
The newlyweds arrived to a flurry of more champagne, hugs and congratulations before heading into the reception barn, where guests were treated to a delicious wedding breakfast. The venue’s large glass windows allowed the golden afternoon light to flood the space, highlighting the beautiful floral arrangements and rustic table settings.
Golden Hour Magic
One of the standout moments of the day was the golden hour couple’s portraits. Quantock Lakes is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets, and Tilly & Lewis were lucky to experience one of the best. The soft, golden light created a dreamy setting for some truly romantic images. While we had hoped to reach the iconic big tree with the swing, the recent rain had left the ground too muddy to navigate. However, we found plenty of stunning spots around the lakes and gardens, capturing moments that Tilly & Lewis will cherish forever.
A Night to Remember
As night fell, the celebrations continued with dancing, laughter, and heartfelt speeches. With the venue’s fairy lights twinkling in the background, Tilly & Lewis danced the night away, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
Quantock Lakes provided the perfect setting for this unforgettable wedding, and it was a privilege to capture every special moment for such a wonderful couple. Congratulations, Tilly & Lewis – may your future be as beautiful as your wedding day!
