A Beautiful Bristol Wedding Blog from the Merchants Hall

Any­way, it’s been a bril­liant cou­ple of weeks for wed­ding sub­mis­sions and one I loved most was from the very lovely Joseph Hall. I know you’ll love Simon and Gemma’s Bris­tol wed­ding — it’s sim­ple and ele­gant and the images are won­der­ful. They’ll make you smile too: I don’t often say this, but watch out for the gorilla!

Simon and Gemma shared their wed­ding report at the end of today’s fea­ture so do have a read, and leave a com­ment if you can! Con­grat­u­la­tions to a bride and groom who are both gor­geous and gen­er­ous for shar­ing their big day on the blog, and my thanks to wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Joseph Hall for the sub­mis­sion. Enjoy! Claire xxx
