Lois and James – Clearwell Castle

Lois and James were married right in the midst of the worst winter in living memory. We drove to Clearwell Castle the night before with a view to attending the wedding rehearsal, and found ourselves travelling in the worst driving conditions that I’ve ever experienced! We were called about an hour before the rehearsal started to be told that it was cancelled as hardly anyone had managed to make it in. By the time the wedding morning arrived, there were no bell ringers, no horse and cart and no live band for the evening. Thank goodness for the professionalism of the staff at Clearwell or there’d barely have been anything happening at all! It was colder in the church than outside as there’d been no heating oil for two weeks. A memorable day for all concerned!

On your wedding day you place all your trust and hopes to capture the essence of a perfect day in your photographer’s hands. Dan simply does not disappoint; he brings boundless energy and vision to ensure you achieve the best pictures possible. In sub zero temperatures (the only supplier who made it through the heavy snow!), Dan professionally encapsulated the winter wonderland setting of Clearwell Castle. By the end of the wedding day, Dan had become an extended member of the family. And the pictures – Wow! They are so beautiful and Dan captured so much. Every time we view them, they bring tears to our eyes. We cannot recommend Dan highly enough but we will try: Perfect Wedding = Perfect Photographer = Daniel Charles Photography. Thank you.
