Berkshire Wedding Photography, Michelle & Paul, Englemere, Ascot & The Guildhall, Windsor

2012-05-25T12:37:27Z

I don't normally do this but I met up with Paul and his groomsmen for breakfast at the Lay By Cafe in Wokingham. Paul had done his research and found the 5* cafe in the area and was soon tucking into the "BIG BREAKFAST" before handing out pressies to the boys.

Next stop was the Hilton in Bracknell to photograph Michelle (who looked stunning) and the Girls getting ready before heading to Englemere to catch their Routemaster London Bus to The Guildhall in Windsor with Paul and all of the guests.

I've walked past the Guildhall in Windsor many times but never been lucky enough to have a look inside inside, but what a spectacular place it is. You can feel the history as you walk through its doors and it's a perfect venue for a wedding ceremony!

All aboard the bus again, back to Englemere for the wedding reception. It was a gorgeous afternoon and loads of fun. Paul and Michelle had organized a brilliant afternoon and their sense of fun and happiness really set the tone for the day.

Hampshire Pre Wedding Photography, Hannah & John, The Vyne, Basingstoke

2012-05-24T10:18:54Z

I spent a couple of hours with Hannah and John at Morgeston Woods for their pre wedding shoot and what a lovely morning it was. Haven't seen much sunshine recently so it was a real pleasure wandering round such a beautiful place taking pictures! Hannah and John are getting married in a couple of weeks time at the Vyne so Morgeston seemed a very fitting place to do the shoot and the Vyne can be seen in the background in couple of the shots.

Here's a few images from our mornings walk:

Lynne & Ricky are getting married at the Hampshire Court Hotel in Basingstoke in a couple of weeks time, it sounds like they've got a fantastic day lined up so I'm really looking forward to the wedding day! We met up for their pre wedding shoot at Fleet Pond Nature reserve on what seemed to be the first dry day for ages. Here's a few shots from our mornings walk with their Staffies:

Surrey Wedding Photography, Mithi & Chris, Northbrook Park, Farnham

There was so much to look forward to with Mithi & Chris' Wedding Day, 180 guests, a church ceremony, a Hindu ceremony, Saree's, Goan Curry for the wedding Breakfast, Cocktails, Hog Roast, a fab band... Plus Mithi and Chris had done so much themselves. They had made all of the invitations, brownies for after the church, "Lazy Susans" for all the tables, the table centers and a whole lot more. Not only did everything look brilliant but all their touches made it personal and very special.

Berkshire Wedding Photography, Karen & Ian, Bearwood College, Wokingham

2012-05-07T12:12:22Z

Karen and Ian's Wedding day at Bearwood College near Wokingham was a fabulous day. The weather wasn't the best but other than having to swap the outdoor shots around a bit it didn't seem to matter at all.

I arrived at Karen's just before 11:00 to photograph Karen and her 2 bridesmaids getting ready and it wasn't long before they got started on Champagne and Pizzas, I can't think of many better ways to start a day! The flowers, were delivered shortly afterwards, they looked stunning. The pink Calla Lilies in the bouquets and buttonholes were absolutely beautiful. Henry the 1949 Bentley Limo arrived promptly reminding everybody that that time was getting on.

Surrey Wedding Photography, Mithi & Chris, Winkworth Aboretum, Godalming

2012-04-24T10:58:10Z

I met up with Mithi and Chris for their pre wedding shoot at the Winkworth Aboretum. By pure coincidence I've been here twice in nearly as many weeks, and it's amazing how much changes in such a short space of time.The blossoms are out in force now and it looked stunning.

Mithi & Chris have a fantastic wedding day planned at Northbrook Park near Farnham in Surrey and I'm really excited at the prospect of photographing it already.

Here's a few images from Winkworth:

Surrey Wedding Photography, Amy & Max, Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham

2012-04-20T12:48:05Z

I had the very great pleasure of photographing Amy and Max's fabulous wedding day at the Woodlands Park Hotel near Cobham in Surrey. The week hadn't started too well for Amy & Max, not only had their little boy Harry, had been ill for most of the week but one of the flower girls had fallen out of a tree and her resulting broken arm was in bright pink plaster! Someone came up with idea of wrapping it in matching purple ribbon so it actually ended up looking great.

It really was a brilliant day, a loveley warm atmosphere and lots of fun. Heres' a few images form Amy & Max's Woodlands Park Hotel wedding day:

Surrey Wedding Photography, Karen & Damien, Winkworth Aboretum

2012-04-11T09:51:57Z

I think it was Damien's Dad who had suggested Winkfield Arboretum near Godalming for their pre wedding shoot to them. It's a fabulous place for photography so I was very happy to spend a fantastic Sunday morning wandering through the trees and round the lake photographing Karen and Damien. They are getting married in June this year at Pennyhill Park near Bagshot in Surrey, another beautiful location and, weather permitting, they'll be getting married in the Hotel Gardens.

If you've not visited Winkfield before, then go. It's such a beautiful place to visit at any time of year but especially in spring as the spring flowers and blossoms are absolutely stunning!

Hampshire Pre Wedding Photography, Georgie & Richard, Basingstoke Memorial Park

2012-04-05T13:51:23Z

I met up with Georgie and Richard for their pre wedding shoot at The Basingstoke Memorial Park, It's the first time I've visited the park but I'll definitely go back there to shoot again, with the spring flowers, woods and skate park there's lots of variety. I even got asked if they were celebrites when we were doing the shots in the skate park.

Georgie and Richard were a pleasure to photograph and I'm really exited about photographing their wedding at Northbrook Park later this year!

Cambridgeshire Family Photography - Donna's Alice in Wonderland Birthday Party

2012-04-05T11:07:16Z

I had the very great pleasure of photographing Donna's Masquerade, Alice in Wonderland themed Birthday Party at the Old Fire Engine House in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Donna had planned an absolutely fabulous evening, her attention to detail was incredible. The tables, the props, the costumes, the cake were all amazing, and what's more she made most of it herself! If anyone is thinking about planning a big surprise party for me (my fast approaching major birthday maybe?) get Donna involved!
