Abby & David wed at Hampton Court

The trend for extended honeymoons seems to be continuing which is why you'll have to forgive me that this wedding update is a little out of sync as the lovely newlyweds have not been back too long.

On September 15th, Abby & David were lucky enough to be married at Hampton Court in the Chapel, a very rare honour and one afforded to them through Abby's links to the court from an early age. A beautiful September day made this a very special location and wedding which all the guests and the wedding couple enjoyed to it's fullest. Taking a bride and groom around Hampton Court for pictures is always a fun experience with photo opportunities everywhere.

After the service the wedding party made their way to St Georges in Weybridge for a wonderful reception and party by the lake.

Sarah & David wed at The Old Mill

On a beautiful bright September afternoon Sarah & David tied the knot at the picturesque Old Mill in Aldermaston. This was a wedding filled with lots of love and fun, epitomised by the young bridesmaids who must have covered every blade of grass in the gardens.

After an emotional service the lovely newlyweds enjoyed the sunshine and toured the grounds creating some memorable pictures. After some heartfelt speeches the guests were treated to a chocolate fountain (a dry cleaning company must have done well after this wedding) and the DJ got the party going with the first dance of many.

Bonnie & Simon wed at Christ Church & Loseley Park

On Friday 28th September, Bonnie & Simon tied the knot at the deceptively large Christ Church in Guildford with a reception held at the beautiful Loseley Park.

Boy did it rain at this wedding. Not ones to let the weather spoil their day, Bonnie & Simon braved the elements to help create some beautiful images and were rewarded with small windows of clear skies allowing us to make use of Loseley's lovely gardens too. Wet weddings always add some drama with so much going on and although not the dream conditions you immediately think of when planning your wedding they certainly do give the opportunity of capturing some very memorable photographs.

Even the wind got in on the act

A face that tells it's own story

A quick lighting set up in Loseley's drawing room helped create some lovely images


With overcast skies the light in the gardens was perfectly soft


And the summer colours were still on show


The evening gets underway with the speeches
