AGWPJA Q4 Winner 2013

Delighted to say I have won another award with the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (AGWPJA). This was one of my favourite images of last year which makes it winning even better. The judges comment is something else too: "Never before has exhaustion looked so beautiful. The muted tones add to the tenderness of the moment".  photo agwpja_2013_q4_zps4faf0e10.jpg

Kathrin & Christian's wedding in Tegernsee, Germany

Todays update is the glorious wedding of Kathrin and Christian and took place in Tegernsee, Germany which I have to say is absolutely beautiful and well worth investigating as a holiday or short break destination. As with most overseas weddings there was a party on Friday night full of singing and dancing and then it was onto the big day itself. Kathrin got ready in a hotel that overlooked the church on the lake that she would later be wed inside. After their ceremony the lovely couple gave me wonderful photo opportunities by climbing into their speedboat and cruising off out into the lake, as journeys to your reception venue go this one has to be hard to beat. As they landed they were greeted by all their guests for the first of two receptions, this one by the lake and the evening one up in the mountains. A fabulous couple, amazing venues, great guests including a previous bride and groom (thank you for the recommendation Sophie) all made for a truly stunning wedding celebration.  photo tegernsee_01_zps3c60fb5d.jpg  photo tegernsee_03_zpsfee9eb4f.jpg  photo tegernsee_04_zpsb5fe9609.jpg  photo tegernsee_05_zps0b591ad7.jpg  photo tegernsee_06_zps3535a6b7.jpg  photo tegernsee_07_zpsed26424a.jpg  photo tegernsee_08_zps6d825735.jpg  photo tegernsee_09_zpsbc97148c.jpg  photo tegernsee_10_zpsb7c865a8.jpg  photo tegernsee_11_zps0fa52878.jpg  photo tegernsee_12_zps2fa55727.jpg  photo tegernsee_13_zps349013a5.jpg  photo tegernsee_15_zps8a971223.jpg

Vicky & Jon's Wedding at Combe Manor, Hungerford

Todays wedding update is from the lovely wedding of Vicky & Jon which was held at Combe Manor near Hungerford. Vicky got ready in a Hungerford salon with all her bridesmaids and then made the short drive to Combe Manor. This is a real hidden gem of a venue that also boasts it's own church literally next door. Once the dress was on Vicky made the short walk in her wellies up to the church where Jon and all the guests awaited. It would be no exaggeration to say that the weather was not very kind on this day but this fantastic couple just embraced everything about their special day making for a wonderful winter celebration that was brim full of love and laughter.  photo victoriajon_01_zpsedb5c450.jpg  photo victoriajon_02_zps539a3efc.jpg  photo victoriajon_03_zpsf79cc0e4.jpg  photo victoriajon_04_zpsde915ea3.jpg  photo victoriajon_05_zps169387e1.jpg  photo victoriajon_06_zpsb6a0dffb.jpg  photo victoriajon_07_zpsacbdd7d7.jpg  photo victoriajon_08_zps07ff1564.jpg  photo victoriajon_09_zps365ed37b.jpg  photo victoriajon_10_zps3fc05153.jpg  photo victoriajon_11_zpsca3641dc.jpg  photo victoriajon_12_zps13159e27.jpg  photo victoriajon_13_zps09a95621.jpg  photo victoriajon_14_zps676955eb.jpg  photo victoriajon_15_zpsb02f6346.jpg  photo victoriajon_16_zps81f00e0e.jpg  photo victoriajon_17_zpsdd503f97.jpg
