The Wedding of Lauren & Nathan at The Riding School, Hatfield House



Tuesday the 30th August and we're starting the day in Ware for the wedding of Lauren & Nathan at St Mary the Virgin Church. Nathan & all the guys met in the pub before having a few photos taken outside the Church.  Meanwhile Lauren and her bridesmaids and pageboy were having some prep and detail shots at home. We weren't allowed to take many shots during the ceremony but we captured their confetti and group photos at the Church before leaving for Hatfield House - Lauren & Nathan in a VW Camper Van! Everyone gathered in the beautiful gardens of the Old Palace for a few drinks before moving into the Riding School for their wedding breakfast. With many personal & hand-made touches, the room looked amazing.

The Wedding of Lindsay & James at The Reid Rooms, Margaret Roding



Sunday the 28th August and we're back at The Reid Rooms for the wedding of Lindsay & James. Such a fun couple with lots of great family and friends - we had a wonderful time photographing their wedding. The weather was kind to us; warm sunshine for most of the day which meant everyone could chat, mingle & enjoy the brilliant Reid Rooms courtyard. We left just after the speeches. Happy honeymoon.

The Wedding of Sharon & Paul at The Old Rectory, Lower Dunton



For yesterday's wedding we're back at The Old Rectory near Brentwood for the wedding of Sharon & Paul. We'd already covered Paul's daughters wedding last year so we knew a lot of the people. After a half hearted start the weather picked up and became all blue sky cloudless and warm in time for the photos in the Old Rectory gardens after the ceremony. Happy honeymoon!

The Wedding of Lucy & Phil at Brocket Hall Golf Club



Lucy & Phil's Saturday's wedding started dry but overcast then turned into persistent rain but ended with lovely warm blue cloudless skies. After some prep photos and a beautiful church service with a rainy, damp confetti run afterwards we headed for Brocket Hall Golf Club for more photos and a champagne reception in the sunshine! We left just before the wedding breakfast.

The Wedding of Rebekah & Mark at Quendon Park, Parklands



We had a brilliant time at the wedding of Rebekah & Mark on Thursday the 18th at Quendon Hall, Parklands. We'd previously photographed Rebekah's sister and three of her colleagues (with other siblings and colleagues booked for 2011/12!) so we felt so at home with tons of people we knew and recognised. Despite the rain everyone had a fantastic time. the venue was scattered with personal touches including family photos & delicious home made cake pops. There was lots of fun & laughter through the speeches which continued into the evening with a hugely popular Rentabooth and an amazing band Souled Out.

The Wedding of Rebecca & Jeremy at Northaw Church & Ponsbourne Park Hotel



Our first wedding after getting back from holiday and we're local at Northaw Church and Ponsbourne Park Hotel in Newgate Street Village. Despite a rainy start to the day it got better and better, by the time we got to the Church the sun was out and it stayed out for much of the day. After a lovely service and a few pictures we headed to Ponsbourne for Rebecca & Jeremy's champagne reception. Many creative touches made the wedding very personal to the couple - this, and along with some marvelous suppliers, meant the the day went without a hitch! Video, Chair Covers & Co-Ordination

Some of my favorite pics from our last few weddings























You Snap Cameras go to the Love My Dress Summer Soiree

Very excited to be asked to provide some fun instant cameras for the Love My Dress Summer Soiree - read more about it here - logistically a little tricky to organise as we go on holiday TONIGHT [squeal] and the soiree is on Wednesday but we got there thanks to some very early morning batting back and forth of emails with Annabel at Love My Dress.

August holidays are not the norm for anyone in the wedding industry I know, but as we have 2 daughters who are fed up with April or October holidays we promised them 2 weeks in the Italian Lakes this year, commitments have trimmed that to 7 days in Crete but they are still buzzing with anticipation of the 40 degree heat :-s By the way, the 'kids' are 22 and 14!

Watch out for some photos when we get back :-)
