Weddings should be about fun and celebration in my opinion and that’s why I had such a great time with Cathy and Myles on Friday at Glenmore House in Surbiton.
As you go through these pictures, check out how many have people full on laughing in. A perfect wedding day!
Cathy had a great morning getting ready with her Bride Tribe.
Like an absolute hero, she wasn’t just ready on time, but she was ready early. There was plenty of time for chatting and laughing and some photos in the garden.
Soon enough, it was showtime and we were all off to Glenmore House where Myles was awaiting his beautiful bride.
The ceremony was lovely. Short and sweet, funny and emotional and all sealed with very loud cheers and applause by some excited guests as these two beauties made their way back down the aisle as a married couple.
We headed out to the garden area for some group shots, including some glorious wedding party shots.
And then we sent all of the guests back inside for some drinks and canapes while Cathy and Myles stayed outside for their smoochy photos. I love these pictures - these two were so much fun.
After the delicious food had been eaten, the speeches had been expertly delivered, and one or two glasses of wine had been enjoyed, it was time for the very newly weds to share their first dance together as a married couple.
And then the moment this lot had been waiting for… PARTY TIME!
As always, right before I left all of these legends to party the night away, I asked the couple if they wanted some night time photos before I left. Cathy and Myles are smart, so Cathy and Myles said yes.
That’s all for this little preview, folks.
An incredible day for the most wonderful couple.
I’ll add one or two more pictures from this day to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I edit them, so feel free to follow along and re-live some more beautiful moments.
Huge thanks to all at Glenmore House for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran smoothly. Special mentions to Sam and Faye.
Thanks too to all of Cathy and Myles’ wonderful guests for making me so welcome. I had a blast with you all!
The Hare’s Field is my kind of venue. A beautiful little barn venue that also has some rooms so people can stay. If you book your wedding there, you get the venue for the entire weekend - there’s something quite special about that.
Richard and Elliot are my kind of couple. Fun and relaxed. They gave me a group shot list of just 5 pictures - the most beautiful group shot list I’ve ever seen! When I left their wedding I told them they were one of my all time favourite couples. When I got home and gave my wife the bottles of wine they had given me at the end of the day, she said that they were in fact, her number one all time favourite couple that I’ve photographed 🤣
So it’s fair to say that Saturday was my kind of wedding.
The weather was unkind to say the least but it didn’t bring the mood down even a tiny amount. These two and all of their guests, were all about having fun and celebrating and a little rain wasn’t going to stop them.
As all of the guests took their seats and watched the two handsome boys stand before them, you could feel the love in the room and that remained true all day long.
The ceremony itself was really lovely. Emotional at parts, funny at others and all sealed with a smooch and walk back down the aisle to cheers and applause by some very excited guests.
With the rain persisting outside for most of the day, we grabbed our chance when there was a 10 minute break to get everyone outside so that these two could enjoy a confetti walk. They got thoroughly pelted by their eager guests - it was excellent.
Shortly after, we were all back inside where the barn had been set up for the wedding breakfast (shout out to Plenty of Thyme who always do a great job and always make sure I’m well looked after)
Meanwhile I made a new little mate - meet Paddy who performed his best man duties with style.
After the delicious food had been eaten, the speeches had been expertly delivered and one or two drinks had been enjoyed, it was time for some dancing and some great tunes, supplied by the band Don’t Stop Now.
Oh and a quick mention for this glorious cake 🌈
Remember earlier I said that Richard and Elliot were my kind of couple? Right before I was due to leave them all to it, it still hadn’t stopped raining but these two didn’t care. They were happy to come outside for some pictures anyway.
That’s all for this little preview, folks.
An incredible day for the most wonderful couple.
I’ll add one or two more pictures from this day to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I edit them, so feel free to follow along and re-live some more beautiful moments.
Huge thanks to all at The Hares Field for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran smoothly.
Thanks too to all of Richard and Elliot’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome. I had a blast with you all!
Hands up if you had a great time at Richard and Elliot’s wedding!
I love my job so much.
Sophie and Matt had the most amazing wedding (and party!) at the beautiful Friern Manor yesterday.
Great people, loads of fun, and I really just kinda felt like I was a guest at their awesome day with a couple of cameras in my hands.
Sophie got ready in the bridal room with her girls and they all had the best morning laughing and joking. Every one of her bride squad made sure Sophie had nothing to worry about. They took care of her and also made sure I had all the little things (like Matt’s sneaky note on the sole of Sophie’s shoe) that I needed to photograph so she could just relax and get ready in peace.
She looked completely gorgeous and before we knew it, it was time for Mum and Dad to come into her room and see her. She obviously stunned the both of them.
While Sophie’s bridesmaids and I waited for her interview with the registrars to finish up, I went to take a quick photo of the squad.. and this happened.
I knew at this moment that we were in for quite the party later in the evening!
While we were outside shooting the best album cover a girl band could ever dream of, Matt was awaiting his beautiful bride.
He didn’t need to wait long though. Sophie rocked up right on time and completely knocked his socks off!
The ceremony itself was really lovely. Short and very sweet and all sealed with a big ol’ smooch and walk back down the aisle to cheers and applause from some very excited guests.
Then for my favourite part of any wedding, but particularly this one. The very newly weds and I (plus the very awesome Zoe on dress floofing and hype girl duties) took a little stroll around the beautiful Friern Manor grounds to get some gorgeous photos of a gorgeous couple. I mean… check these out!
Then we rejoined their guests for the loudest confetti walk I’ve seen all year.
After the delicious food had been eaten, one or two glasses of wine had been enjoyed and the speeches had been expertly delivered (shout out to Sophie’s wonderful Aunty Helen for making me and everyone else in the room cry), we headed out into the gardens for some group shots. And of course with these girls, we got some beauties!
And then it was time for a very romantic first dance and an epic dip-kiss!
And of course the moment this lot had been waiting for all week… PARTY TIME!
We still had time to pop back outside and get a few night time photos. One of the many reasons I love Friern Manor so much is how amazing the gardens are for photos both in the day and night. Put a beautiful couple in the scene too and… 😍
We still weren’t done there either. Sophie popped up to the room to put on a party dress and it was back to the dance floor!
Honestly, what a day. What a couple. What an amazing bunch of guests… and what a party!
Did I mention that I love my job?
That’s all for this little preview, folks.
An incredible day for the most wonderful couple.
I’ll add one or two more pictures from this day to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I edit them, so feel free to follow along and re-live some more beautiful moments.
Huge thanks to all at Friern Manor for taking such good care of me and for making sure everything ran smoothly. Special mentions to Ash, Joanne, and Mike.
Thanks too to all of Sophie and Matt’s wonderful guests for making me so welcome. I had a blast with you all and made many new best friends!
