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

northbrook Park Wedding

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, Karen & Damien, Winkworth Aboretum

Pennyhill Park Wedding

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

Northbrook Park Wedding

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!

Berkshire Wedding Photography in Windsor, Michelle and Paul

Englemere Wedding

I'm thoroughly enjoying the current spell of fabulous weather we're having and felt really quite excited as I drove over to Windsor to photograph Michelle and Paul's pre wedding shoot on Saturday morning. I was't to be disappointed either, we had a lovely morning taking pictures before stopping for a coffee in the sunshine to go through their wedding details. They were a lovely couple to photograph, very relaxed and lots of fun, I am looking forward to their wedding at The Guildhall and Englemere already!

Hampshire Wedding Photography at Fleet Pond - Karen & Ian

Bearwood College Wedding

We met up on Saturday morning for Karen and Ian's pre wedding shoot at Fleet Pond Nature Reserve. We were tempted to postpone as the weather was looking pretty bad as we drove over.  Fortunatley the rain stopped as we arrived and the sun even managed to make an appearance. It ended up being very pleasant (and entertaining) morning!

Why entertaining? Despite Karen's requests to explain I really don't think it would be fair on Ian to tell you  about his mishap with the log, but if you have a look at image 6 and the way he's clinging to the log you'll probably get a reasonable idea of what happened! If only I'd caught it on camera!

Hampshire Wedding Photography, Morgasten Woods, Sam & Adam

Audleys Woood Wedding

Looked out the window on Saturday Morning, it looked freezing! I texted Sam and Adam to check that they still wanted to go ahead with the shoot, they did, so I put on my thermals, made a flask of coffee and headed off for Morgasten Woods.

The car showed the temperature as -4.5, the sky was clear, the sun was out and I thought to myself that the woods will look beautiful in this weather. I wasn't to be dissapointed, the sun was still low in the sky and in our faces as we walked into the woods, Wow!

This would be a great location for a family lifestyle shoot too, lots of climbing opportunties for the kids.

Sam & Adam were brilliant, they very quicky relaxed and immediatley seemed to be comfortable with the camera.

Surrey Wedding Photography, Lucy & Chris's Pre - Wedding Photography

Northbrook Park Wedding

Lucy and Chris chose Pewley Down in Guildford, Surrey for their pre wedding shoot. They live pretty close to it and it sounds like they spend a fair amount of time relaxing here so it seemed fitting to do the engagement shoot here. If you've not visited Pewley Down before it's certainly worth a visit, it's a beautiful place with spectacular views over Guildford!

They are getting married later this year at Northbrook Park near Farnham in Surrey. Northbrook is one of my favourite local venues  (I'm fortunate enough to have a few weddings to photograph there this year) so I'm really excited to be shooting Lucy and Chris's big day.

hampshire wedding photography, elvetham hotel

I met Sara and Mark for their pre wedding shoot on what was a beautiful September evening at the Elvetham Hotel near Hartley Wintney in Hampshire. The Elvetham is a stunning venue but with the evening sun and the autumnal colours it was exceptional.

We had a lovely evening wandering around taking pictures before stopping for a drink to go through all of the details in preparation for the wedding day.

Surrey Wedding Photography, Amy and Max's pre - wedding photography at Frensham Pond, Surrey

Amy & Max are getting married next year at the beautiful Woodlands Park Hotel in Surrey but they chose Frensham Pond near Farnahm for their engagement shoot. It's certainly a beautiful place to spend a Saturday morning taking pictures. I think they were a little worried about having their picture taken but they soon relaxed and we go some beautiful shots.

Here's a few images from the morning's walk:

Brighton Wedding Photography, Lindsay & James' Pre Wedding Photography, Brighton Beach in Sussex

sussex wedding photography, brighton portrait photography

I don't often go as far as Brighton for a Pre-Wedding shoot but James proposed to Lindsay on Brighton Beach so how could I say no!

We met for coffee (thanks Lindsay) quite early before headed off quite promptly for a walk on the beach before it got too busy, what a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

I have to say a huge thank you to the Punch and Judy man for being such a good sport and letting us borrow his Theatre.

Lindsay and James were a pleasure to shoot and I'm really looking forward to their wedding next month at  Clock Barn Hall in Godalming, Surrey.

Farnham Wedding Photography, Carrie & Scott's Pre Wedding photography, Frensham, Surrey

sussex wedding photography, brighton portrait photography

Carrie & Scott are getting married in November at Northbrook Park near Farnham in Surrey and I have to admit that I'm actually a little scared! Carrie is a wedding photographer too and a vey good one at that, which always adds a little extra pressure.

One thing for sure is that with all of her experience of weddings she'll have a fabulous day planned so whilst I am a little nervous I am also really looking forward to what I am sure will be a fantastic day!

Here's a few of the pictures from our shoot at Little Frensham Pond near Farnham in Surrey:

I'm really looking forward to the wedding, not only is it a stunning wedding venue but I was lucky enough to photograph Ruth & Damien's close friends Sarah & Tony at Gorse Hill Hotel a few weeks ago and know that it is going to be a fantastic day!

Hampshire Wedding Photography, Chloe and Matt's pre - wedding Photography at Fleet Pond, Hampshire

Chloe and Matt are getting married a month from today in Bradford on Avon. We met up at Fleet Pond Nature reserve for the pre-wedding shoot.

I think it's fair to say that Chloe was pretty nervous about the being photographed.... I promised her that "by the time we are finished I'm sure you'll be wondering what you were nervous about".  I felt that she relaxed and if she was nervous I certainly couldn't tell and the pictures look lovely!

Fulham Wedding Photography, Bea and Jon's Pre-Wedding shoot at Fulham Palace, London

We met up with Bea and Jon for their pre-wedding shoot on a beautiful spring morning at Fulham Palace. Having not been to Fulham Palace before I got there early to have a wander around and plan the best places to shoot. The colours of the blossoms, wisteria and trees in bud grabbed me immediately.
