This weekend's wedding in Chipping Camden, Cotswolds

On Saturday I found myself in the beautiful Cotswolds, photographing the equally beautiful Lucy and Matt's wedding celebration.  They were married in St Catherines Church on Chipping Camden's high street and the reception was held in a friends beautiful house just down the road.  A huge garden housed the marquee and the surrounding orchard gave all the guests ample room to explore and enjoy the gorgeous scenery.  Even the weather was kinder than anticipated with just the odd shower interupting a lovely wedding day celebration.

For the preview I picked one of the beautiful Lucy with some Cotswold stone, very appropriate I thought.

West Wittering

A few weeks ago on a grey, wet and miserable July summers day I spent a few hours on West Wittering beach with a really lovely family. If there is one thing working as a photographer in England you can always rely on it's the weather. And by that I mean you can rely on it being unreliable!

Some time ago you may remember I shot a series of engagement portraits of a couple at Virginia Waters in Surrey (she was the one with five different dresses and a waterfall). You can see their pictures here. Well it was lovely to hear from Mindy again and this time the brief was a little different. Her parents were over for a couple of weeks from Singapore and they wanted some pictures taken to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Well where better than a lovely English beach with beach huts, blue skies, sand dunes and great views. Cue the drizzle and grey skies.

But not ones to let the rain get in the way we braved the elements and had a fantastic time on the beach. This couple had so much energy they put me to shame and I hope I still have their joie de vivre as I get older too. Congratulations to you both on your anniversary!

This Weekend's wedding

On Thursday I travelled up to Welshpool for the lovely wedding of Ceri and Martin. Their wedding took place in the Holy Trinity Church which is a local landmark and was also where Ceri's parents were married many years before. After the service everyone then made their way to the beautiful Rowton Castle for the reception. A fantastic venue that hosted a really wonderful wedding day celebration.

The guests, our gorgeous couple and of course the photographer made the most of the lovely building and grounds which made this a very memorable wedding celebration.

For the preview I chose a picture from the walk to the church as I am sure it will have meaning for both Ceri and her parents.

Pembroke Wedding

This is fractionally delayed but the previous weekend I spent a lovely day photographing the gorgeous wedding of Claire and Atila at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond. Claire got ready at Twickenham stadium which considering England were playing Wales at Rugby there was quite something and made for some great pictures when she emerged to go to the wedding car.

Then the rest of the day was spent at Pembroke Lodge enjoying the warmth of hospitality, friendship and of course love.

I've picked a shot from the evening celebrations for the teaser. Claire had a butterfly theme right down to the confetti cannons for the first dance. I like the couple surrounded by butterflies as they begin the evening celebration.

Saturday's Wedding

A little closer to home for me this weekend with the really lovely Jing and Kevin getting married at The Holy Ghost Church in Basingstoke and their reception held at the beautiful Elvetham Hotel in Fleet.

Jing got ready at the hotel with her bridesmaids and parents and then took a Rolls Royce to the church where Kevin awaited. Once married it was back off to The Elvetham in the sunshine where the happy couple and their guests could explore this really spectacular wedding venue to their hearts content. After the wedding breakfast and speeches, it was onto the evening celebrations which started with a very romantic first dance and went onto the fireworks and a late evening hog roast.

I picked this picture for their preview as I love the moment, the textures, the dress and the colours.
