Oxfordshire Wedding Photography – Pembroke College

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

Hampshire Wedding Photography – West End Farm

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. Katie and Paul were married in St. Mary’s Church in Upper Froyle, Hampshire on Saturday 04th September at 1400hrs. The wedding party then returned to West End Farm for the reception and evening celebrations.

“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

Bluebell Walks, Surrey

All these bluebell photos were taken in May 2009 & 2010 on different days and at different times of the day. It was a very early start to get some of the dawn photos as I needed to walk for 40 minutes to get to this location near Guildford.

The camera was mounted on a tripod, a wired remote was used and mirror lock-up was also turned on to minimise any vibrations, especially as some of the shots were at ISO50.

Linda & Jelte’s Wedding at Cain Manor, Hampshire

It was a great privilege to shoot Linda and Jelte’s wedding at Cain Manor in Hampshire early in March. Family and friends gathered from many countries to witness Linda and Jelte’s wedding at the stunning Cain Manor venue set overlooking the beautiful Hampshire countryside. The forecast was a little tentative leading up to the day, but it remained a dry sunny day with a slight cool breeze as you might expect at that time of year.

A fairly challenging venue to shoot with all varying degrees of available light, but one where my Canon EOS 5D MkII and pro series lenses really helped. Lenses used: EF 50mm f1.4 USM and EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM.

Guildford under Snow, Surrey

While the country ground to a halt over the last few weeks, it was a great opportunity to get out and about with my camera around Guildford, Surrey.
