The Matara Centre – Charlotte & Robin’s Wedding

24/04/2018
The Matara Centre, Gloucestershire
The Matara Centre stands out as being a little different wedding venue. Tucked away in the Gloucestershire countryside you can easily miss it. However once you do find it, it's a bit of a magical gem with nooks and crannies that charm you as you wander round each corner.

What I love about my job is the variation. One day i’m photographing a conference, the next a family portrait and the next day a wedding. Weddings are ace, the fun vibe that usually comes with it makes it a joy. I love being surrounded by happy people and bounce off their energy.

Being centrally located in the Cotswolds, means that there are plenty of weddings happening through out the year (actually I reckon it must be one of the most romantic areas of the England!) and so I therefore every year photograph a lot of glorious weddings.

Charlotte & Robin were both wooed by The Matara Centre’s magical nature, and as they and there family gathered there for their wedding on a cold and overcast day in March you’d be excused for thinking it was sunny just due to the abundant excitement in the vacinity!

I first met up with Charlotte (and her entourage), who were putting the finishing touches in getting ready…

"Absolutely amazing wedding photographer! Professional and totally blended in with wedding guests! The photos that Ben managed to capture completely sum up the fun and beauty of the day- He’s a very clever man. If you’re hesitating booking him, rest assured, you won’t regret having him there on your big day. It’s the best money we spent! Ben went way and beyond to ensure that he got the shots that we had requested and his sense of humour and good nature made light of some of the more stressful parts of the day. Ben was a wonderful pleasure to have around."
