These photos were taken of Clare and Ailsa in Esher, Surrey in February 2011. Ailsa wasn’t in any mood to stay still for one minute from the moment I stepped through the door for her photo shoot. A challenging, but fun day was had by all and I must also say a big thanks to all the friends that helped with trying to calm her down and help getting her attention too.
These are a some of my favourites from the day, please feel free to leave any comments and thanks for looking:

Congratulations again to Mr & Mrs McGill, married on Saturday 11th December, 2010. I arrived to find a slightly nervous but calm groom, best man and ushers at the pub around the corner from the church before the ceremony. Sophie was driven to the church by her father in his beautifully polished S’ Type Jaguar. Sophie and Rainer were then married in St. John the Baptist’s church in Kidmore End, Oxfordshire at 1400hrs.
The wedding party then moved to Ufton Court, a beautiful Elizabethan Manor House set in stunning grounds near Reading, Berkshire. The speeches, wedding breakfast, barn dance and evening celebrations were all held in the magnificent Ufton Court barn.

“Simon, thank you very much for capturing our amazing day so perfectly. The photos are absolutely brilliant, we love the way you managed to get natural shots, traditional family groups as well as fun posed groups, which really capture the sentiments of our friends and family.
The album is superb and we are really grateful for your flexibility and support in helping us get the photos that we wanted in there. The arrangement of the photos and the contrast between colour and black and white is simply amazing and many of our friends have said how beautiful the photos are.

Congratulations to Elaine & Warren Burling, married on Saturday 16th October, 2010. Elaine & Warren got married in St. John’s Church, Surrey and the reception was held in The Bridge at Pierrepont, Surrey for the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations. While all the guests were making their way to the reception venue it was a chance for us to drive down to Frensham Ponds to get some more photos and for the newlyweds to have a few moments to themselves.
As per last weekends wedding we did unfortunately have a few down pours after the ceremony, but managed to get some of the group photos done outside as the clouds gathered.
“Thank you so much for all your hard work and professionalism on our wedding day and on the build up to the big day itself. From our first meeting we were completely impressed by your previous work and by the fact you were so conscientious about everything you do. We loved the fact that you were able to provide us with the traditional style of wedding album with a modern twist that we were looking for. Your advice & guidance was very much appreciated and it mean’t alot to us that you listened to what we wanted and did everything you could for us.
We’ll never forget all your hard work on the day itself & we were amazed at all the fantastic photos you captured for us. As for the album itself, we have had nothing but ooohs & aaahs from friends and family. We all think it is absolutely stunning!!
Thanks again Simon from the bottom of our hearts………”

Congratulations to Lauren & Dan Marriott, married on Saturday 02nd October, 2010. Lauren got ready at her parents house and was transported with her father to St. Mary’s Church in Upton Grey in a classic 1925 Oakland wedding car. After the wedding ceremony, the whole wedding party made their way to the stunning Cain Manor venue set overlooking the Hampshire countryside.
Unfortunately the weather and some local road closures meant a wetter and slightly more cross country route to Cain Manor. However, everyone arrived safely, although in a more staggered time frame. We also managed to get outside for a few photos in between down pours, a fun day was had by all.
“Simon was the best supplier that we had for our wedding. His service throughout the process was wonderful, and the end result was better than we ever expected. On the day he was supportive and unobtrusive, resulting in natural and beautiful photographs. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough” ~ Lauren & Dan

Suzy got ready at her parents house in Clifton Hampden, Oxfordshire before walking across the road to the lovely church overlooking the river Thames. Suzy and Harvey were married in St. Michael and All Angels Church, Oxfordshire on Saturday 18th September at 1200hrs. The whole wedding party was then transported via boat along the river Thames to the wedding reception drop off point.
A short walk along the river, through the tree lined Christchurch Meadows and a couple of cobbled streets lead up to the stunning Pembroke College, Oxfordshire. The reception and evening celebrations were held in a marquee on the beautiful lawns of Pembroke College.
“Simon, you absolutely captured our day perfectly, you were unobtrusive but also captured all of the moments we wanted and the pictures are truly stunning. Our main problem now is choosing the ones we want to display in our house as there are so many amazing shots, both posed and natural. We will be recommending you to our friends who are getting married soon. Thanks again for all your hard work and fantastic photos” ~ Suzy & Harvey

Another lovely sunny day with no threat of rain again! Katie got ready at West End Farm with family and friends and was driven to the church in a beautiful classic Rover P2 wedding car.

“Sorry we haven’t got back to you sooner and just wanted to let you know we absolutely love the album and everyone’s comments on it have been amazing – some even saying that it’s the best wedding album they have ever seen! I think people are so used to seeing albums full of set poses and ours is so different with such natural shots which makes it so special. The printed disc is fab too – so clever!
Thank you so much for capturing the day for us and it makes me want to do the whole day all over again” ~ Kate & Paul
