Gate Street Barn Wedding Photography - Tracey & Phil

Just a quick post, what with it being Christmas Eve and with presents still to wrap! Saturday was Tracey and Phil's wedding at a very festive looking Gate Street Barn in Bramley, complete with picture postcard snow, which made for a slightly hairy drive through the country lanes! Their ceremony wasn't until 4pm, so as it was dark at that time, they agreed to meet before hand in order to have some photos of the two of them. Tracey wore a red velvet cape to cover her dress until the ceremony, which looked amazing against the snowy background!

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day...








I will be taking a well needed break between now and January 4th, 2010, so a very Happy Christmas to all my clients!

Clandon Park Wedding Photography - Rob and Anna's Wedding

I'm a bit behind on blogging due to technical problems with Photoshop loading onto my new iMac :( So apologies to Anna & Rob who have been logging in from Costa Rica to view the photographs from their Winter Wedding at Clandon Park, Surrey. These are my favourite from a cold but great fun day!



My signature shot of Anna who got ready at the Angel Hotel in Guildford...

You've got to love a girl who wears her Hunter wellies with her wedding dress!

Married! Anna and Rob had their wedding ceremony at St Peter & St Paul's Church in West Clandon...







Anna & Rob's extremely impressive Rumba which they had learnt for the first dance...


Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon guys - especially the sunshine, we are forecasted snow here this week!

Wedding Photography at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond. Zoe & Justin's Wedding Details

Zoe and Justin's wedding at Pembroke Lodge was full of stunning details, a wedding photographer's dream :)  Here are a few of my favourites...

Fairy lit trees gave the Russell Suite an enchanted forest feel, perfect for an Autumn wedding ceremony...

All of the flowers were by the super talented Susan Lapworth who I would wholeheartedly recommend for anyone looking for a florist - lapworthsusan@googlemail.com

Zoe's bouquet and one of the Bridesmaid's floral hairband

Zoe's wedding dress was made to her design and featured this lovely bow detail

Which when removed in the evening, revealed this sparkly band

The Russell Suite set up for the wedding breakfast

More gorgeous floral details





Yes this cake really did taste as good as it looks (thanks for the slice to take home guys!).

And finally, a cheese cake, or should that be cake of cheese!

Wedding Photography at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond - Zoe & Justin

I don't even know where to begin to describe Zoe & Justin's beautiful wedding at Pembroke Lodge....   There was rain (lots of it), there was the ceremony that was so personal and emotional, then there were the details which were so stunning they deserve (and will be getting) a blog post of their own.  And lastly there were Zoe & Justin, who flew all the way from Thailand to share their wedding day with their family and friends. Wishing you all the happiness in the world guys, hope you like a few of my favourites images from the day.

This is Zoe reading her personally written vows, cue tears from everyone including me!





A break in the rain and a walk amongst the Autumn leaves...

Same pose, two very different expressions.



Check back later for a post dedicated entirely to details!

Pre Wedding Shoot London - Anna & Rob

Anna and Rob's wedding takes place this weekend at Clandon Park, Surrey, so we just managed to fit in their pre-wedding shoot on Saturday.  It rained before the morning of the shoot (a lot!) and it rained afterwards (even more!), so we were incredibly lucky with the beautiful Winter sunshine that made for these great images. Hope you like them guys, really looking forward to this weekend.

Portrait Shoot on Horsell Common - James & Charlotte

When my nephew asked me if I would do a portrait shoot for his girlfriend's 17th birthday I jumped at the chance - Charlotte is very beautiful and James scrubs up OK too ;) I had been wanting to do a shoot on Horsell Common for a while and it made a fantastic backdrop in the Autumn sunshine.  Hope you like my favourite shots lovely nephew (and enjoyed an hour away from being grounded-naughty boy)!

Pembroke Lodge Wedding Photography - Nikki & Mabrouk

I had great fun photographing Nikki and Mabrouk's wedding at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park, Surrey last week. The Autumn light (when the sun finally made an appearance!) was beautiful and their friends and family made it a very special and personal day for the couple.  Here are a few of my favourite shots...


Nikki's cats are very important to her, so this one is especially for you Nikki!

My 2009 signature shot :)





I wanted to include this one of the Russell Suite looking so pretty set up for their Wedding Breakfast.  Nikki had such an eye for beautiful details and yet she had organised their wedding in only 6 weeks!
