Lily & Josh – A Relaxed, Fun Wedding at Alma Tavern & Theatre


Lily and Josh got in touch about their wedding at Alma Tavern & Theatre in Clifton, and I was instantly excited by the idea of photographing their day. After chatting on the phone, it was clear this was going to be exactly the kind of wedding I love capturing — relaxed, full of energy, and surrounded by their closest friends and family.


Set in one of Bristol’s most characterful pub venues, their wedding had such a laid-back and joyful feel. From garden games to great food and flowing drinks, the day felt natural, unforced, and full of genuine moments — the kind that lend themselves perfectly to documentary wedding photography.


Alma Tavern & Theatre in Clifton is ideal for couples planning an informal yet memorable wedding or after-ceremony reception. With multiple hire options and the freedom to personalise the space, it’s a brilliant venue for couples who want their celebration to feel completely their own.


Every wedding at Alma Tavern & Theatre feels different, and your photographs should reflect that. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a lively pub wedding in Bristol, I’d love to capture your day in a way that feels honest, creative, and true to you.
