People gathered outside a restaurant called The Huntsman, which offers cask ales and fine wines, on a city street with historic buildings. There are chalkboard signs advertising events and menu items, and potted plants with flowers on the sidewalk.

The ceremony took place upstairs in a bright, elegant room filled with natural light. It is one of those spaces that feels instantly calm and welcoming, and having a bar at the end of the room is always a win for guests. It worked perfectly for an intimate ceremony and created a really lovely atmosphere for their vows.

One of the biggest advantages of The Huntsman as a Bath wedding venue is its location. You can step straight outside into the city, which is exactly what we did for group photos and couple portraits. Bath always delivers when it comes to backdrops and it gave us some really natural, joyful moments with Cecilia and Steve and their guests.
