The Pear Tree Purton Wedding Photography
Katey & Mike
This amazing wedding day was in the calendar for a long time, and I was so excited to make my way to The Pear Tree Purton for Katey & Mike's big day. This was my first visit as a Pear Tree Purton wedding photographer, and what a venue it is. We had the full Spring experience, from sun, rain, wind and rainbows to enjoy. Katey and Mike planned a wonderful day, what wasn't on the cards however were the two broken wrists a few weeks before the wedding. But if there was ever a bride to have an obstacle like that to overcome and enjoy her day it's Katey.
I started my morning with Mike and his ten groomsmen, yes you read that correctly, ten. Mike is a popular man indeed! Katey and her bridesmaids were getting ready upstairs where the Prosecco was already flowing, it was a great start to the day.
The Pear Tree Purton Wedding Day
With the weather as unpredictable as it was the ceremony took place inside, which with hindsight was absolutely the right call. It was a joyous ceremony and one that had so much love and laughter to photograph. I had to work hard to keep the camera stable as Mike cracked a joke mid vows.
After some brilliant speeches, and as the weather broke for a moment, we took a minute to get some portraits around the grounds before heading back in for a fun party to see the night away. With some brilliant music and dance floor karaoke on the go it was a great end to a superb wedding day.
About The Wedding Venue
With more than a 700 year old history, plus a renovation in 2019 with the addition of the orangery, The Pear Tree Purton is the true definition of a wedding venue with a blend of old and new. It's an exclusive hire venue found on the edge of Swindon in Wiltshire. From the perspective of a wedding photographer it's a superb venue that offers a lot of versatility. This wedding is a prime example where the planned outside ceremony was quickly and beautifully changed to the indoor option, which also later became the makeshift studio for the family portraits. With 7 acres of lands, capacity for up to 200 guests to attend and on site accommodation it's a wedding venue of dreams.
