Sandy and Jeffs Wedding

I recently had the pleasure of shooting my first wedding in a long while for Sandy and Jeff. With just their best friends as guests and witnesses . It was a very intimate ceremony at Penrith registry office followed by Coffee and cakes at Costa.

Nikita and Dannys Wedding

Going back to the balmy days of summer for today’s wedding. This time we headed south - all the way down to Hertfordshire. The bride decided on the amazing Sopwell House for the morning wedding preparations, it almost felt like we where in the Mediterranean due to the beautiful weather.

From here we all headed to Shenley Cricket Club for the ceremony, reception and evening festivities. The gardens and surrounding woodland provided an excellent backdrop for photos. Plus some quirky shots in front of the cricket scoreboard.

Thank you for letting us be a part of your fabulous wedding day

Bridal Preparations

Bridal Preparations..

It can be totally manic or really chilled and relaxed. Yup, I am of course referring to morning bridal preparations.

Everyone is here, makeup artists and hair dressers, are all set to make everyone look amazing. The few hours before the ceremony are some of my favourite times of the day and can produce some really nice photo’s. I do my best to stay out of the way in order to capture the mix of emotions that can occur. Right up the the moment when dad sees his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time.

Jessica and Elliots Wedding Day

Jessica and Elliots Wedding Blog

I am going to take everyone back to the glorious days we had in September for today’s preview.

Jessica and Elliot held their wedding ceremony at St George’s United Reform Church in the beautiful village of Thornton Hough and then we went on to Inglewood Manor. The hotel and grounds never fail to impress no matter what the weather is doing, and lends itself to some awesome photography opportunities.

We must thank everyone attending the wedding for treating us almost like family members, we had a fantastic time and where made to feel really welcome.
