If you go to one wedding fair this year...

Photobucket
I only exhibit at one wedding fair each year and it is that time of year again when you'll be able to find me at Loseley Park (just off the B3000, Guildford, Surrey). Loseley is one of my favourite regular venues with just so many photographic opportunities. Also there are some wonderful people working there who really do help make every wedding at Loseley as perfect as possible.

On the day, you'll find a wide range of exhibitors to help make all your planning go smoothly whether your thinking of getting married at Loseley or not and there are fashion shows in the beautiful Great Hall throughout the day or you can just lose yourself in the lovely all year round gardens.

I hope to see you there.

Louisa & Craig at The Berystede

My first post of the new year and what better way to begin than with my last wedding of last year. Louisa and Craig were married at St John Baptist Church in West Byfleet with their reception held at The Berystede Hotel in Ascot.

It was one of those overcast grey winter days with very flat but soft light, always a challenge. After the service everyone had some time outside the church and then made their way across to the reception. Having warmed up in the hotel with drinks, good food and great speeches the guests were in for one last surprise as the whole wedding party invaded the couples first dance as zombies, yes zombies, and then all them including the bride and groom proceeded to complete the Michael Jackson Thriller routine...some first dance!

Not many options outside at the hotel especially in winter but the ornate frontage makes a beautiful background
