County Club Wedding Photographer – Viola & Thomas’s Wedding

Just over a week ago I had the pleasure of photographing Viola and Thomas’s wedding at Christ’s Church Guildford. The reception afterwards was held at The County Club in Guildford, Surrey. Unfortunately the weather was completely against us on the day with torential down pours creating flash flooding leading up to the wedding!

Viola arrived at the church with her sister in a lovely pale blue Rolls Royce, but had to remain in the car to wait for a potential break in the clouds. Viola looked unfazed by the weather as she arrived inside the church under an umbrella and looked truly amazing. I’m pretty certain the celebrations went on late in to the night too…

Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Whittaker, here are some more photos from their wedding day, enjoy!

“Thank you so much for these. I love all of them they are even better than I could have hoped for. The house is going to be filled with our wedding pictures! Thank you so so so much from the bottom of our hearts”.

Wedding Photography Sneak Peek – County Club Guildford

Just over a week ago I had the pleasure of photographing Viola and Thomas’s wedding at Christ’s Church and the reception at The County Club in Guildford, Surrey. Unfortunately the weather was completely against us on the day with torential down pours creating flash flooding leading up to the wedding, even preventing Viola from getting out of the wedding car for a while!

Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Whittaker, hope you had a lovely honeymoon too…

I have picked out these two photos from their day as they really reflect the anticipation of Viola arriving in the church and returning from a quick visit to Castle Grounds in between rain showers. A few more photos from their day will be posted later this week, enjoy for now…

Great Fosters Wedding Photographer – Emma & Simon’s Wedding

Just a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Emma and Simon’s wedding at Great Fosters in Egham, Surrey. Great Fosters is a stunning hotel in near Windsor, Surrey and has a truly remarkable heritage. It was possibly built as a royal hunting lodge in 1550 and possesses a plethora of original details and features including mullioned windows, Jacobean fireplaces, a rare oakwell staircase, authentic tapestries and moulded ceilings.

This was my first time photographing a wedding at Great Fosters, it was a typical May weekend, mixed weather and unfortunately it rained just as the bride needed to make her way from her room to the ceremony. Umbrellas certainly add a certain amount of drama to a wet wedding day! Emma was truly taken back by the occasion as she saw her Groom for the first time that day and was overcome with emotion. Emma and Simon were married by 15.30, at which point the skies cleared and the sun came out, superb timing!

As the sun beamed, it allowed us to get outside in to the gardens including the famous bridge covered in wisteria over the pond, the amazing lawns and topiary gardens, an amazing setting for a wedding day. The bridal party then went inside to their beautifully decorated and intimate oak beamed room for their wedding breakfast.

I’m pretty certain the celebrations would have gone on late in to the night!! Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Crawt, and at the request of the newlyweds I have agreed to show just a couple of photos from their wedding day, enjoy.

Wedding Photography Client USB Memory Sticks

This year I decided to ditch supplying discs of images to clients due to the time it takes to prepare the files, burn the disc, print on to the disc and then supply them in a suitable and presentable box/ container. I finally took the plunge, transferred my logo, relevant design and had some specific branded USB memory sticks made.

As you can see from the photos of them below, they are now supplied in a lovely printed and sturdy box. This is kept closed by a small magnet on the front of the box and opens up to reveal the branded USB stick inside. I choose the bamboo swivel type of USB stick as they look neat and classy. The smooth swivel action keeps the USB head and working parts protected from general knocks and dust.

These were supplied by USB2U, great service, advice and fast delivery, highly recommend them.

Wedding Photography Sneak Peek – Barnett Hill Surrey

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Tara and Matt’s wedding at Barnett Hill Hotel in Wonersh near Guildford, Surrey. Barnett Hill is a stunning Queen Anne style country house with lovely views from this hilltop hotel in the Surrey countryside. An amazing venue where the wedding party get to use the majority of the hotel including the lovely Oak Hall for the ceremony and the Dunant Room for the wedding breakfast. There is also a feature staircase and lovely black and white tiled main hall way.

Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Goble, here is a quick sneak peek from their wedding day and more will follow soon, enjoy!

All Saints Church Tilford & Bonhams Farm Holybourne – Carly & Thomas’s Wedding

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of photographing Carly and Thomas’s wedding in All Saints Church in the lovely village of Tilford near Farnham, Surrey. Weather forecast was for a glorious sunny warm day and it didn’t disappoint. Carly arrived at the church in a lovely cream and green VW camper van with her father before being walked up to the church with the vicar. Carly & Thomas were married by 14.30 in All Saints Church, congratulations Mr & Mrs Goodman-Smith!

The reception was to be held a few miles from the church at a fairly new venue for weddings; Bonhams Barn in Holybourne near Alton, Hampshire. A lovely venue for a wedding reception set in farmland with amazing views over the Hampshire countryside.

Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Goodman-Smith, here are a few more photos from their wedding day and a few more will be posted on my Facebook page in the next few days.

Just received this lovely message from Carly & Thomas: “What can I say other than WOW! We absolutely love the photos and are so thrilled. You captured the relaxed and happy vibes of the day perfectly and they are such a good documentation of what was such a wonderful day. Thank you so so much!

We can’t believe how many pictures you got – you were photographing at times when we didn’t even know you were there!”

Wedding Photography – St James Church Rowledge – Lis & Dorian’s Wedding

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Lis and Dorian’s wedding at St James Church in the tranquil village of Rowledge near Farnham, Surrey. The weather forecast was a another mixed one and a wedding where I hadn’t met the bride beforehand. Lis looked amazing as she was driven to the church in a friend of the families car. We were fairly lucky with the weather and only got caught out a couple of times from brief rain interludes. The reception was held in a marquee literally just down the road in a private house where many had helped to create an amazing day the for the bride and groom. All hands to the deck!

Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Gerhold, hope you had a lovely honeymoon and here are some images from their wedding day. I’m pretty sure everyone will have enjoyed themselves for the rest of the evening too. These are some of my favourite images from their wedding day, enjoy!
