Nina & Tom

Orchardleigh House Estate

Orchardleigh Estate, Frome BA11 2PB


As an Orchardleigh Estate wedding photographer, it’s always a pleasure to capture weddings at one of Somerset’s most beautiful venues. With its stunning grounds and outdoor ceremony spaces, it’s perfect for relaxed summer weddings.


Nina and Tom’s wedding was exactly that, a warm August day with plenty of sunshine and a great atmosphere throughout.



A Summer Wedding in Frome


Nina and Tom tied the knot at Orchardleigh Estate in August, just outside Frome.


It was one of those perfect summer days where everything just falls into place, clear skies, great light and the ideal setting for an outdoor ceremony.



Getting Ready at Orchardleigh Estate


I started the day with Tom at Orchardleigh Estate, where he was suited and ready alongside his groomsmen, welcoming guests as they arrived.


Meanwhile, Nina was getting ready in one of the rooms at Orchardleigh with her bridesmaids. The morning was relaxed and full of excitement, which made for some lovely natural, candid photographs as everything came together before the ceremony.



Outdoor Ceremony at Orchardleigh Estate


The ceremony took place outside in the courtyard, one of the standout features of Orchardleigh Estate.


With the sun shining throughout, it created a beautiful setting for Nina and Tom to exchange vows, surrounded by their closest friends and family.


They included readings and music from loved ones, which added a really personal feel to the ceremony and made it a joy to capture.



Drinks Reception & Garden Photographs


After the ceremony, guests were invited to enjoy drinks and canapés outside in the sunshine.


Nina and Tom spent time greeting their guests as newlyweds, while I captured a mix of relaxed, candid moments across the grounds.


We also took a short amount of time for family and group photographs on the lawn, making the most of the incredible scenery as a backdrop.



A Relaxed Somerset Wedding


Orchardleigh Estate is perfect for couples looking for a wedding venue in Somerset that offers both beautiful surroundings and a relaxed flow to the day.


Nina and Tom’s wedding was a great example of that, simple, sunny and full of genuine moments shared with their closest friends and family.
