Review – Frensham Ponds Hotel Wedding Photographer

Apr

2013

Just received a lovely review from a couples wedding that I photographed last year:

‘We were so pleased we chose Simon to be our wedding photographer. He was helpful and accommodating from start to finish. On the day of the wedding he kept a low profile and made suggestions as to what would make good photos. We were really impressed with the final results and the album is beautiful. We would recommend Simon to anyone. Thank you! Alf and Keri’

This review was posted online in the Qype business directory and also on the FreeIndex business directory.

Wedding Photography – Frensham Ponds Hotel Wedding Photographer – Keri and Alf

Just over a week ago I had the pleasure of photographing Keri and Alf’s wedding in St Andrews Church in the tranquil market town of Farnham. The reception was to be held just a couple of miles away at the Frensham Ponds Hotel right on the edge of the larger Frensham Pond in Surrey.

Keri got ready at home with the help of her Mum, Dad, bridesmaids, hair and makeup professionals before being taken to the church with her Dad in a classic cream and black Rolls Royce. It was a stunning day for their wedding considering the weather to date. An umbrella was needed on arrival at the reception venue, but generally it was a glorious sunny evening and enjoyed by all in attendence.

Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Sandvik and may you have a happy and healthy life together. Below are some of my favourite images from their wedding day.

Wedding Photography – Nurscombe Farm Wedding Photographer Testimonial

Aug

2012

Just received a lovely new review via my Qype directory listing from a couple who got married last year, they wrote:

We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and the final wedding album, which captures our big day perfectly. All the photos were very natural, which is just what we wanted, and we hardly noticed that Simon was there with us! It was reassuring that Simon was always available for any questions we had before our big day, and was very quick to provide us with a fantastic gallery of our wedding photos within a week or so of the wedding. Highly recommended!

And here is my favourite photo from their day last year:

Wedding Photography – Four Seasons Wedding Photographer Testimonial

Jul

This is a lovely wedding photography testimonial I received from a couples wedding last year in an email the other day:

I highly recommend Simon for your special day. I was nervous finding a photographer from afar (we live in the USA.) Someone who would really listen to what we were looking for and deliver. Simon’s pictures are fantastic, he exceeded our expectations. He makes the whole process very straight forward and we came away with a very high quality album that we absolutely love and are so proud of.

It was important to us that we have pictures ’in the moment’ (family and friends interacting naturally) rather than too many staged pictures. Simon was very good at blending into the background and catching exactly that. (The group shots are fantastic too.) We have received so many compliments on our photographs! His pictures are very natural, and beautifully capture the moment; not just the big moments but the small and easily missed moments.

I highly recommend Simon Slater Photography for your special day. You won’t be disappointed and will have amazing photographs to treasure for life.

Thank you, Simon for capturing our special day! Caroline

After a few months of waiting for my clients to select their favourite photos for their album from their lovely wedding at The Four Seasons Hotel, Hampshire, it was great to be able to design an album with all black and white photographs bar one with lots of space too. This was a huge 14 x 11 inch wedding album with 58 pages, cloth edge pages and metal corners to really finish it off. Here is a small video of it below:

Wedding Photography – Documentary Wedding Photographer Berkshire – Eleanor & Matt

Here are a few more photos from Eleanor and Matt’s wedding at the beginning of May at St Michael and All Angels Church in Sunninghill, Berkshire. Eleanor arrived at the church with her father in a vintage black and cream Armstrong Siddely. Eleanor looked stunning!

Eleanor made it in to the entrance before any more rain arrived and they were married in the lovely church by 14.30. Congratulations again to Eleanor and Matt and may you have a very happy future together.

After the ceremony, we had a bit of time to get some group photos outside before heading off to the reception at The Belgian Arms in Holyport, Berkshire. The pub had been superbly decorated in a county garden theme with bunting and there were cream tea cakes everywhere!

These are some of my favourite photos from the day and please feel free to leave any comments below:

Surrey Wedding Photography – Wotton House Wedding Photographer

Mar

2012

At the start of March I had the pleasure of photographing Sobana and Mark’s wedding at Wotton House, Dorking set in 13 acres of the Surrey countryside. Sobana got ready in one of the hotel rooms while sipping on Champagne with her two bridesmaids, Sobana looked stunning. Even though it was a glorious sunny day outside, it would have been very risky to get married outside in the private walled gardens of this venue at this time of year.

Sobana and Mark had decided to marry in the delightful vaulted ceiling, chapel style library. Sobana and Mark were married in the chapel witnessed by family and friends by 14.30, congratulations again to Mr & Mrs Battison.

The newlyweds, families, wedding party and friends then all made their way outside for a champagne reception, canapes and to enjoy the early spring sunshine. There was also a chance to get some large group photographs around the pond and in front of the large roman style temple. The wedding reception, speeches, first dance and evening celebrations were all held in one of the banqueting rooms of the hotel and no doubt in to the early hours of Sunday morning.

These are some of my favourite photos from the day and please feel free to leave any comments below:
