Houchins in Essex was the place to be on this wedding day in May if you wanted some vintage glamour!Sarah clearly took inspiration from the elegant women some of the dinner tables were named after. She married Drew under the wedding loggia in the garden, and their little daughter was there for everything. From the…
What a pleasure it was to photograph Sarah and James’ wedding in the garden of Sarah’s family home in Cobham. I already knew Sarah because, apart from photographing weddings, I have also, for the past 5 years or so, been commissioned for photography work by the WCRF, and Sarah is the editor of their ‘Healthy…
I was a middle of a field, shooting a festival, when the message arrived from Victoria letting me know she was going to marry George. How pleased I was to hear that news! Tor is one of the happiest wedding guests I have met over the years so I knew her day was going to…
Springtime gave me two weddings I had particularly looked forward to photographing, having photographed both couples at many weddings over the years it was wonderful to see them have their days… and the brides were bridesmaids for each other! First up we have Jennifer and Charlie who married on a perfect sunny April day at…
Never before have I been booked because I posted a gif from a comedy programme on twitter, it’s unlikely (but I’m not ruling it out) that this will happen again. It turns out this is an excellent way of choosing a photographer because we were the perfect match! You can’t see obviously but I laughed…
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning and they did in fact have expert timing! In a very well planned first dance Annlouise, Raphael and the younger guests put on quite a show for the first dance! It was an unseasonably windy July day at Alpheton Hall Barns near Sudbury. Annlouise,…
I am really late blogging this wedding, I have a whole stack of weddings to still put up on my site. This one is from October 2016, and I had two weddings that year at the very same farm, and somehow they amazingly managed to make them look entirely different. I couldn’t resist asking dad…
My first homebrew wedding! Heidi and Rob were showered with hops from above during their first dance, the tables were named after varieties of hops, and most impressive of all is that Rob brewed all of the beer drunk at this wedding himself! These beers had names like Hop Hat & Tails and The Brewed…
It is not often that I have the opportunity to photograph a wedding close to home. This past weekend presented one such rare occasion. In fact, the final image from the wedding captures a view of my hometown, South Woodham Ferrers, as a twinkling lightscape across the River Crouch. Brandy Hole must be the only…
I do love a Bristol wedding so I was more than happy to pop down the M4 for the wedding of Madeline and Pete. I was particularly impressed by Emma, the minister at the beautiful St Alban’s Church, not only does she refuse to do the “who gives this woman” part because, as she explained,…
Ashleigh and Duncan left London behind for a wedding in the countryside of Suffolk at one of my favourite venues Alpheton Hall Barns. The day started off at the nearby Hall Barn where Ashleigh and her family were staying, a lovely little calming place to get ready for the ceremony at the St Peter’s and…
I had so much fun at this wedding at the Houchins wedding venue. Claire and her family used to be my neighbours, here in South Woodham Ferrers. When Claire was still in school, she’d serve me in the local corner shop, and I’d hear her and her brother Iain practising playing their musical instruments from…
Before the wedding I had a bit of extra time to get to know Kirsty and Christos because we met up on the South Bank for a few engagement pictures. Strangers can be so friendly when you are taking pictures of a beautiful couple in a busy place! The wedding day was beautiful, even when…
What a treat this wedding was! On a crisp winter’s day at Gosfield Hall, Tess and Dave brought some much-needed romance and glamour to January. With a nip in the air, Gosfield Hall was a great choice of venue. The dining room is particularly cosy for a wintery wedding breakfast, and as always, Gaynor was…
