Wedding Photography at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond

Reuben and Dawn's wedding was my first of several weddings at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond.  I was very pleased to be accepted as one of their recommended suppliers, as it is a stunning venue set in the middle of the beautiful Richmond Park, perfect as a background for wedding photography and easily one of the most picturesque venues in Surrey.  

Venue:- Pembroke Lodge, Richmond, Surrey

Hair: - Dawn's hair was by the lovely Elaine at Hall's Hair Design 

Here are my favourite shots from the day...

This is one of my favourite shots this year, thanks must go to Reuben & Dawn for walking quite a way to get to this spot!

Clandon Park, Wedding Photography - Justin & Lisa

More wedding photography at Clandon Park, Surrey last weekend, this time for Lisa and Justin's bright and sunny August wedding!  No rain on their wedding day, that's right, not a drop!!!!  Here are my favourite shots from the day...

I think I might be developing a bit of a shoe fetish. In a clean and photographic way of course!  

Lisa was ready so promptly we had plenty of time for some bridal portraits before she left the house, love this one!

I know I've mentioned this before, but still can't believe how beautiful the light is in Clandon Park's Tapestry Room, perfect for shots before and during the ceremony.  As demonstrated by a slightly nervous Justin!

... and the happy couple.

The Tapestry Room in all it's glory, courtesy of my superb second shooter for the day, Leonie.

I think I might also be developing a thing for silhouettes!

Clandon Park looking beautiful at this time of year, with a blue sky for a change!

Enjoy your safari honeymoon guys!

Becky & Ed's Pre Wedding Photography - Grays Inn London

I was very pleased to be asked to photograph Becky and Ed's wedding this October at Grays Inn, as I first met Ed when photographing his brother's wedding over 3 years ago! It was my first visit to Grays Inn this week, where I met with the happy couple for a good look around. What an amazing place, so many choices for their wedding photography it's going to be hard to choose!  Here are my favourite shots from their pre wedding shoot...

Gone for an arty bit of texture for a vintage look on this last one :)

Sally & Andy's London Wedding

I'm a bit behind on blogging due to a sneaky holiday I managed to fit in between weddings! So it seems ages since Sally and Andy had their wedding at two beautiful London venues, The Chesterfield Mayfair for their intimate ceremony and at No 4 Hamilton Place for their reception.  I won't mention the weather except to say, note only one image here was taken outside!

Sally's bouquet not only looked beautiful but with all the lovely freesias smelt so too...

Sally's fabulous make up was done by Gemma Ramsey of the highly recommended Peaseblossom.

The sweeping staircase at No 4 Hamilton Place was a perfect background for their wedding photography.

And for this shot of Sally in her gorgeous Temperley wedding dress.

I do like a good cake, so this image of the pyramid of cupcakes had to make the blog!

Atticus & Watson - Baby & Dog Portrait Shoot

So I was always going to love a shoot that involved a Labrador, but didn't anticipate how much I was going to want to hide the lovely Watson in my car and bring him home!  I had such a great time, especially as Carol and Andrew were so chilled out about all my ideas for baby Atti (even whilst the cricket was on!). Thanks for so much fun guys, hope you like my favourite shots...

A beaming baby Atti

Loved this painting so much, couldn't resist sitting Atti under it for this shot!

The completely adorable Watson

OK, so technically I should have all of his head in, but he was so quick it was difficult and I love something about how abstract it makes this shot :)

Wedding Photography at The Royal Berkshire Hotel, Ascot

For anyone who may be planning a wedding at the Royal Berkshire Hotel in Ascot, I have just uploaded a sample album of a recent wedding I photographed there.  This album can be found in the section to the right, titled "My Wedding Photography at Recommended Venues", along with samples of my wedding photography at Wotton House - Dorking, Warren House - Kingston, Great Fosters - Egham, The Elvetham - Hartney Witney, Clandon Park - Guildford, Ham House - Richmond and Painshill Park - Cobham.  

The entrance to the beautiful Queen Anne Mansion House that makes up part of the Royal Berkshire Hotel. This venue close to Ascot is a fantastic backdrop for wedding photography with it's scenic 15 acre gardens...

Personal Project - Abandoned Swimming Baths

Not everyones cup of tea, but I have a thing for photographing old, decaying and abandoned buildings. Here are some shots from a personal shoot I did at an abandoned swimming baths. The pool was nowhere to be found under the soil and undergrowth, but the changing rooms made for some interesting images. I would love to photograph an ex bride in her wedding dress somewhere like this - any offers?!
