Wedding Kerrie & Roger

Kerrie & Roger had a beautiful wedding in the gardens of her parents' home near Esher. The ceremony was held at Weybridge register office, and then onto a marquee and canapes on the lawn. A totally relaxed feel with little posing was requested, and I am always happy to do taylor my coverage exactly to what the couple wants.

Luckily the rain held off at all the right moments!

Sarah & Daniel's wedding

I did Sarah's sisters wedding about 1 1/2 years ago, so it was fantastic to be there with familiar faces and caprturing Sarah & Daniels big day! It was at Nettlestead Place in Kent, and the church was a short walk making the whole day very relaxed and fun. Rain had been predicted, but the sun shone all day and we made use of the lovely weather in the beautiful gardens at Nettlestead place.

Shown is a mixture of photos and some album layouts. I have just started pre-designing albums. This means that I spend a bit of extra time (which I enjoy!) choosing, designing and creating a first draft album design for each couple as soon as they are back from their honeymoon. Feedback I have had so far says how useful this is in helping to choose the photos that they want, as they can visualize them in the album. Or if you like the whole design it cuts out weeks of waiting for your final album to show off to family and friends!

Portrait: Strawberry picking

I photographed Jonathon & Isi's wedding in Oxford 8 years ago! Since then I have twice had the wonderful opportunity of photographing them with their gorgeous little girl Milly. Todays theme was strawberry picking, which gave a fun and natural environment for portraits. Alot of fun was had by all, and I didn't eat too many strawberries, which I was renowned for as a child when we went picking!

Wedding: Esther & Tim

Esther & Tim's wedding was a joy from start to finish. Their relaxed attitude, and their enjoyment of the whole day was very apparent. Their reception was held at Epsom Downs racecourse, but I was determined not to enter into the standard 'horse' and winners enclosure theme. There were so many other amazing places for photos.

Gone for wacky block pastels here! Beats the endless 'flowers in colour' that you see endlessly!

Oh give me a staircase and I am happy!...

Wedding: Lynsi & Mike

This week I have put Lynsi & Mikes' images into a digital style album design. The wedding as always was a very unique event, held at Farnham House Hotel. I particularily loved the groom's arrival in the style of the A Team! Along with a fantastic lookalike playing B A Baracus! Alot of fun and a unique way to arrive.

Wedding: Jo & Philip

Wedding: Mary & Derren

A sneak preview of a few images form Mary & Derren's wedding at Losely park. So much can be caught with a keen eye and quick reactions, but I also like to punctuate that with some posed or directed shots. Below is a mixture of that, and pretty much sums up my style of blending the modern, fun and quirky, alongside some love and romance(that doesn't have to mean stuffy though!)

Who needs scissors!..

Below shows a sequence of shots and how the series develps. Sequences like this are brilliant, as they are quick to take, and create great story layouts in an album. Each shot is subtly different, and without even having to move the couple, can be taken in a matter of minutes. These are just a selection from a whole series taken. What I dislike is repetitive shots, ie digital camera on motordrive, and taking shots that are indistinguishable from each other.

The key to a good photographer is to relax your subject. If they feel awkward, the images will not come accross well.

This image has been turned upside down! What you are seeing is their reflection in the pond...

The right way up again now!

I love Loseley, its such a stunning venue, and I know the foods good too as my sister got married there!
