Karen & Paul's Wedding at Garden Court, Hanbury Manor


Sunday the 26th and we're back on local turf for the wedding of Karen and Paul. Our 1st time photographing a wedding in the Garden Court. We'd met the bride and groom a few weeks previously and looked around the landscaped gardens but on the day the weather wasn't so good and we took all the formal photos inside the light and airy Summer House. Karen and Paul were up for a trip to the main hotel so a golf buggy was summoned and we had a dash in the rain to the main doors for a few umbrella shots then back to the gardens as the weather improved for a couple of walking photos along the beautiful gravel paths. Happy Honeymoon!

Lara & Steve's Wedding at Gate Street Barn, Nr Guildford


Saturday the 25th and we're in Surrey for the wedding of Lara to Steve. We photographed their friends Donna & Tony's wedding in April and so there were many familiar faces. A change in the weather from the previous day meant we had a beautiful blue sky making the barns look amazing. The day went very well, lots of fun to be had - a great mix of friends and family. We stayed until 9pm to see them perform their 1st dance and cut their [cup] cakes!

Katy & Ben's Wedding at Harpenden House Hotel


Friday the 24th September and we're at the 1st of our trio of weddings this weekend - not the best of weather but a great fun bunch of people made the day go with a swing. Katy and Ben were the perfect match for each other both having a great sense of humour which made the photos a breeze. We left them to their evening after we'd captured the pre-dinner speeches.

Sunday the 19th and we're at Friern Manor for the wedding of Danni & Craig at Friern Manor. Such an amazing venue, lots of places for photos and the staff are top notch. We arrived early and seperately went to capture some images of the bridal preparations and the groom arriving. The day went very well, their family and friends were lovely, many travelling from far and wide to be there for their special day. Danni sang a surprise song for Craig to kick off the evening - she was fantastic!

Saturday the 11th and we're in Stanford-le Hope for the wedding of Donna & Gary at their local Church, St Margaret's and their reception at The Old Rectory, Dunton.
