Clandon Park Wedding Photography - Esther & Jon's Wedding

We had full on sunshine for Esther and Jon's wedding at Clandon Park in Surrey last weekend, which made a very pleasant change! It was lovely to be back at Clandon Park which no matter what the weather provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photography. Here are some of my favourite shots from the day...







Esther's beautiful wedding dress was by Ian Stuart...

The music in the day time was provided by the wonderful John Etheridge and his band. Their jazz music was wonderful and perfect for a sunny afternoon...



In the evening both the Bride and Groom performed with the band, which is a first for me, here's Esther singing with Jon on Bass guitar...

Hope you like the sneak peek at your photos guys and were finally able to get away for your honeymoon :)

Pre Wedding Shoot - Northcote House, Sunningdale Park - Christabel & Kevin

Well it's been a little quiet on my blog, owing to taking a holiday before peak wedding season madness starts in May!

Before I disappeared to France I had the pleasure of taking Christabel & Kevin's pre wedding photographs at Northcote House, Sunningdale Park. I am in the not unusual position, of being both guest and photographer at their wedding which means I am looking forward to it even more than usual. I should mention that Christabel is also a rather special person in our life, as she is our beloved Labrador's vet and takes very good care of him whenever he is there, which seems to be often ;)

Anyway we picked the worse day for photography, it was dark, gloomy and very, very rainy, so I was very pleased to find Northcote House lends itself spectacularly to indoor photography, even though neither Christabel or Kevin minded braving the outdoors (note it was only me with the umbrella and that was for the camera!). Here are my favourites, I have gone for a vintage feel...

Pre Wedding Shoot Woburn - Becca & Henry

I spent a very pleasant sunny afternoon with Becca and Henry at the weekend. They are to be married in a local church and then have their reception in a marquee at Becca's parents in a pretty village near Milton Keynes. Her parents were very busy planting the garden and I am sure it will pay off and make the perfect background for their wedding photography. Here are some of my favourite shots from their pre-wedding shoot....

Bovey Castle Pre Wedding Shoot, Heather & James

Heather and James' May wedding will take place at Bovey Castle in Devon which I am very excited about as the venue looks like a stunning backdrop for wedding photography. However we met locally in Richmond Park to do their pre wedding shoot, Devon being a bit far to travel for the morning!

Heather told me she is nervous about being photographed which is quite a common comment for both brides and grooms to be. This is one of the reasons I offer a pre wedding shoot, which gives me the opportunity to help couples be more at ease in front of the camera before the big day :) Here are a few of my favourite shots...

Laura & Alex's wedding at the Ramster, Chiddingfold, took place on a day with no rain, but boy it was cold! However, we braved the weather to take advantage of the pretty grounds and it was definitely worth it! Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome and here are my favourite shots from the day...

Pembroke Lodge Wedding Photography, Fiona & Ryan's Valentine's Wedding

It was a grey, overcast and very cold day for Fiona & Ryan's Valentine's weekend wedding, but luckily Fiona had a beautiful (fake!) fur shrug & Ryan to keep her warm :) Fiona must be very patient as the happy couple had been together for 9 years before Ryan finally proposed! Fiona got ready at the Richmond Gate Hotel and the wedding was held at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park. Here are some of my favourite shots from the day...


This is Fiona's petticoat..



These stunning flowers were arranged by a friend...


Well it was Valentine's weekend, so I felt hearts were needed!

Don't you just love Fiona's 1950's inspired dress...

Wedding Photographer at The Guildhall, Windsor

My first wedding of 2010, was Anchalee and George's at the Guildhall, Windsor with their reception at the Christopher Wren Hotel. After their ceremony I was thrilled to be invited to sit in the front of their 1920's Rolls Royce so we could take their wedding photographs at various beautiful vistas in Windsor and nearby Datchett. Here are some of my favourite shots...

Anchalee's pretty shoes were from Ivory on Bond Street...


The Guildhall is where Charles married Camilla, Elton John married David Furness and where George married Anchalee! Stunning room...


By the River in Datchett...
