Clevedon Marine Lake
If you like stunning sunsets and sea, this might be the perfect wedding venue for you. Still not far from Bristol but you can get this amazing “summer holidays” feel. Thanks to our brilliant, adventurous couple we took those pictures:
Clevedon Pier
One Direction had their video clip recorded on that pier. We actually prefer another spot nearby, from which you can see the amazing sunset and the pier at the same time. The pier is quite busy anyway, so that’s not ideal for your wedding pictures but we can go to that other spot and your photos will be even more magical.
