A De Vere Selsdon Estate Wedding - Kelly & Ray

September 1, 2019

Well what a day Kelly & Ray had on Friday. Glorious sunshine, an amazing venue and all of their favourite people there to celebrate with them. What more can you ask for on your wedding day?
It was such a perfect day with two families coming together as one and it was an honour for me to photograph it for them.

Here are a handful of shots from Kelly and Ray’s beautiful day.

A few hours before the ceremony and all was looking perfect. What a beautiful garden to be married in.

Kelly got ready at the venue and despite the hot day, she stayed cool and calm - and looked incredible too.

Her brother James thought so too. Look at that expression!

Ray awaits his gorgeous bride - doesn’t look even a little bit nervous does he?

Go time! All of the guests get their first glimpse at the bride.

Most importantly though, Ray got to see his bride too. Looks like a very proud man, indeed.

With the ceremony finshed, they sealed it with a kiss.

What a beautiful family.

The veil, the dress and of course the bride. A perfect combination.

Who doesn’t love a good photobomb!? Maid of Honour Michelle does it in style!

These two just didn’t stop smiling all day.

The De Vere looks great and the couple look even better.

The first dance on the sparkly dance floor.

Pure emotion. Kelly and her Uncle had a very special dance too.

Kelly and Ray chose to add a highlight video to their package too. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more information about highlight videos.

That’s all for this little sneak peek folks, but I’ll post a few more over on Instagram and Facebook as I edit them. Feel free to follow along over there.
My thanks to all at the Selsdon Estate for taking such good care of me all day, especially Hollie (you’re a star!)
Big thanks also to Toastmaster Ralph Heijmer who was great all day.
Mostly though, sincere thanks to Kelly & Ray for allowing me to capture their big day for them. Huge congratulations to you both.

A Two Hoots Barn Wedding - Hannah & Paul

August 11, 2019

Wow - What a wedding this was!
Hannah and Paul chose Two Hoots Barn in Sternfield, Suffolk as the venue for their big day. The barn is surrounded by a Christmas tree forest and during the latter months of the year it becomes Redhouse Christmas Barn. Maybe then, it was somekind of Christmas miracle that every weather forecast was predicting huge thunder storms for much of the day, but instead we got gorgeous sunshine nearly all day long.

Here are some pictures from Hannah and Paul’s wedding day:

While we didn’t get any rain until much later in the day, we did get strong winds. This lovely welcome sign would later be blown over and moved indoors. It stood strong until after the ceremony though, so it served it’s purpose well.

Time for Hannah to get into the dress - and what a dress.

The bride and her brother share a pre-wedding hug.

I love these kind of reaction shots. Hannah’s girls see her in the dress for the first time.

Finally it was time for the ceremony and for the guests to catch their first look at the bride.

After waiting for this moment all morning, Paul finally gets to see his beautiful bride.

I always try to get these ‘shoot through’ reaction pictures. Here the Maid of Honour was suitably moved by the moment.

The. First. Kiss.

I told you that sign would later be blown over, didn’t I?

Paul’s boys didn’t want to let him off the hook with a simple ‘stand still and smile’ picture.

By this point the important business was over and it was time for me to take the new Mr & Mrs off for a few pictures.

By the way, if I photograph your wedding and there happens to be an amazing willow tree on the grounds, at some point we are going to use it for pictures…

…And maybe not just for the Bride and Groom pictures!

How great did Hannah look, by the way?

The first dance. These guys had moves!

Right before it was time to leave, I was able to grab the happy couple for two minutes for a few night pictures. I love these kind of shots so I’m always looking for an opportunity like this one.

That’s all for this little sneak peek, folks. I will add a few more pictures from this wedding to the Facebook and Instagram pages as I get through the editing, so feel free to follow along over there.

Big thanks to all at Two Hoots Barn and Broadland Bars Catering for taking care of me and to Indigo Heights for making sure the party took no time to get going (there are lots of party pictures to come!)

Also, huge thanks to Sohel (Best Man) and Sarah (Maid of Honour) for their assistance with everything from rounding people up for groupshots, to dress puffing - top work, guys!

Mostly though, massive thanks to Hannah and Paul. Thanks so much for having me at your big day and for making sure I was so well looked after all day. Sincere congratulations to you both!

A Silvermere Inn On The Lake Wedding - Katie & Mark

June 2, 2019

What a day Katie and Mark had yesterday. They lucked into the warmest day of the year for their wedding and their big day was as lovely as the weather.
Their ceremony took place at Weybridge Registry Office, a venue that I’m very familiar with and very fond of - they have a wonderful garden area that is great for photographs.
Then it was off to Silvermere Inn On The Lake for the reception - and lots more pictures there too. It was my first time shooting a wedding a Silvermere and it has so many great photo opportunties, I loved it.
More important than the venues though, was the couple. Katie and Mark were incredible. Laid back and relaxed and up for all the pictures. They had a wonderful day and partied with their guests long into the night.

Here are a handful of pictures from their wedding day:

Katie and her girls got ready at Brooklands hotel. Her Bridemaids took good care of her and helped her into her dress.

The finishing touches - Katie had been pretty relaxed all morning but started to get a tiiiiny bit nervous at this point.

A very proud Dad sees his little girl in her dress for the first time. I love an emotional father of the bride. If you can’t shed a little tear on your daughters wedding day, then when can you?

It wasn’t just the girls getting all done up at the hotel. These two lads looked dapper!

Weybridge Registry Office is small but lovely. Here Mark sees his beautiful bride for the first time.

The exchanging of rings.

Nerves all over with and time for the smiles.

The garden path at Weybridge Registry Office is a great little place for confetti.

Katie and Mark’s little boy looked so sharp in his matching outfit. What a dude!

The garden area is an excellent place for a celebratory twirl.

Katie and Mark arrived at Silvermere in style.

Two best men meant two speeches and twice the laughs.

Hands up if you loved watching Katie and Mark get married!

As the evening began and the temperature dipped a little, I stole the bride and groom for a little while and we went to the lake for some pictures.

And what a gorgeous place for pictures it is too.

Reflections always make me happy.

After a little while we rejoined the guests and it was time for the first dance.

And what better time for a confetti cannon than the first dance?

Of course, the kids absolutely LOVED playing with the confetti.

Although the kids weren’t alone in having a little play with it.

There are so many more pictures still to come and I’ll post a few more over on Instagram and Facebook as I edit, so feel free to follow along over there.
Katie and Mark will have all of their pictures in a few weeks, so if you were at their wedding and you want to see everything, it won’t be too long before they can show you!

Huge thanks to Katie and Mark for having me at their wedding and for making sure I was so well looked after.
