Rae & Jason - A Joy-Soaked North Cadbury Court Wedding with Gold, Purple & Proper Belly Laughs
Some weddings feel glamorous. Some feel fun. Rae & Jason’s day managed to be both – without ever tipping into “showy.”
From Rae’s bespoke gold dress (honestly unforgettable) to Jason’s rich purple suit, this was a celebration with personality baked into every choice. And the best part? None of it felt staged. The whole day ran on warmth, easy connection, and that kind of laughter that spills out before you even realise you’re doing it.
A little venue context
North Cadbury Court is one of Somerset’s true crowd-pleasers — grand without being stiff. You’ve got gardens and quiet corners when you need to breathe, and then the ballroom when you want the day to properly lift off. It’s a venue that suits couples who want a wedding with flow: intimate moments, big energy, and space for both.
Style that felt like them, not a trend
The styling was calm, confident, and full of character.
Fresh green taper candles. Florals in green, purple and soft whites. Eucalyptus and sweet peas on the tables, with eclectic glassware that made everything feel a little more personal – like it had been gathered with intention rather than ordered in bulk.
And then the cupcakes.
A full display of floral cupcakes in intricate detail – the kind you catch yourself staring at for far too long because they’re almost too pretty to be real.
The magic wasn’t just in the details
What we remember most isn’t a single “moment.”
It’s the way Rae & Jason’s relationships filled the day – with their guests, their families, and each other.
There was laughter everywhere. Not polite laughter. The real kind. The sort that breaks out mid-conversation and leaves people wiping their eyes.
And threaded through it all were little sparks of surprise, thanks to a magician moving through the crowd – reactions popping off in pockets around the room like mini fireworks: shock, disbelief, then that big release of laughter when everyone realises they’ve been completely stitched up.
That mix — warmth, humour, closeness – is exactly what makes a wedding feel alive.
Photographing a day that didn’t perform for the camera
From our side of it, this was documentary gold.
Not because everything was “perfect,” but because it was real. The best frames came from the in-between: a glance caught across the room, someone leaning in mid-laugh, a quiet squeeze of a hand that said more than any posed portrait ever could.
North Cadbury Court is brilliant for that. You can move from gardens to house to ballroom without breaking the rhythm – and when the rhythm stays intact, the story tells itself.
Why this wedding matters
Rae & Jason’s wedding is a reminder that:
style lands best when it’s personal
atmosphere beats aesthetics every time
and laughter is one of the most underrated forms of romance
If you’re planning a North Cadbury Court wedding and you want your photos to feel like the day did – not like a styled shoot – you’re exactly the kind of couple we love working with.
