“Hiring Chloe as our photographer was the best and easiest decision. From the minute we found our venue (The Mount Without) we knew she was the photographer for us. She made us feel completely at ease and we had so much fun in our portrait session. She was considerate and warm and we loved sharing our special day with her! She made something we were quite nervous about so fun and exciting. The photos are incredible - still can't believe that it is actually us in the pictures! Chloe, you really are amazing! Thank you.” - Billie and Alex
IYKYK that The Mount Without in Bristol will go down in history as probably one of my favourite venues to exist for weddings ever. So when an enquiry hits my inbox and it’s for a wedding happening there, I already know I’m speaking with my kind of people. B&A were no exception.
Billie, in her own words - had been stalking my Instagram for a few weeks after booking with The Mount Without as she wanted to have hers and Alex’s day captured in a more relaxed way so were instantly drawn to my style. They were hoping for an elegant, stylish wedding paired with a photography style that accentuated the beauty of the venue and honestly, I think we achieved just that. Set in the historic and enchanting venue of The Mount Without, the black-tie affair was a perfect blend of sophistication and relaxed celebrations. The former church (with its awe-inspiring architecture and rich history) provided a breath taking backdrop for their celebrant-led ceremony which was held amongst a beautifully crafted flower meadow altar. Adorned with an array of wildflowers, the decor brought a touch of natural beauty and whimsy to the setting.
Following their heartfelt ceremony, guests welcomed the couple into the hall napkins spinning and dancing to the upbeat musical entrance. Guests were then treated to a three-course dinner catered by Queen and Whippet. Known for their culinary creations, they crafted a menu that celebrated the finest, in season and local ingredients. Despite the formal attire, Billie and Alex’s wedding maintained a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The couple wanted to focus on creating a warm and inviting environment for their friends and family to celebrate which was evident throughout the day. Guests were encouraged to mingle and enjoy the celebration at their own pace, making it a truly enjoyable and stress-free experience.
As the sun set, the relaxed day transitioned into an evening party filled with music, dancing, and celebrations down in the venues Crypt. The joyful energy kept the party going well into the night, with everyone celebrating the love and happiness that Billie and Alex share. Their day was filled with laughter and unforgettable moments and their wedding really was a true testament to their unique style and the deep connections that they share with their family and friends.
