Angie & Dominic at the Berkshire College of Agriculture

Continuing my drive to catch up with all my past weddings, here is the lovely wedding of Angie and Dominic who were married at St Andrews Church in Sonning from where it was a short drive to their reception at the BCA - Berkshire College of Agriculture in Maidenhead. A beautiful day, lovely venue and a very much in love couple made for a perfect wedding celebration.

A short walk from the church was this bridge which made a great backdrop

Here's a new one - a cheesecake! What a great idea for a wedding cake.

Some music for the reception drinks

I think that's tight enough

It's a tiring day for the bride and groom

I just love this picture of Angie

Great view of the dress

I do like my chandeliers

Some time together after the food

And now we dance

Or grab the nearest girl!

Ange & Paul at Alexander House Hotel

Continuing my catch ups, today we have the lovely wedding of Ange and Paul who were married at St Margarets Church in West Hoathly with a reception held at the beautiful Alexander House Hotel in Turners Hill. Glorious weather, great couple and guests and a perfect venue.

Probably not the image you expect to see at a getting ready, don't worry the dress was safe they just couldn't find any scissors

Melanie & Paul at Cley Windmill

This was my second trip up to Norfolk and the great venue of Cley Windmill in Cley next the Sea. As unusual and memorable venues go this is right up there. Perfect for a small wedding with just your close family and friends. This is exactly what Mel and Paul had in mind when they held their beautiful wedding here. One of those lovely photographic days with sunshine but nice fluffy clouds made shooting in and around the windmill a real pleasure. When your shooting a small wedding you really feel like you get to know everyone there which is not really possible at most weddings and with such a great couple and group of people this was a really special wedding to capture.

I love this picture of them together

You get all sorts of angles at a windmill

The boys enjoy the early morning sunshine

Back to the beautiful bride

I've shot in dark venues before but this beats them all (especially as no flash or lighting is allowed during the ceremony), fortunately technology has come a long long way

A tender moment between Mother and Son

It's just great to see two boys sitting down reading at a wedding instead of playing on a DS or PlayStation

Also useful for the occasional unusual angle
