Surrey Wedding Photography – Nurscombe Farm

Oct

2011

Towards the end of September I had he pleasure of photographing an old school friends sisters wedding. Abby was marrying Jon at St. John’s Church in Merrow, Surrey. Abby arrived at the church with her father in an immaculate, classic cream Jaguar MK II. Abby and Jon were married in the church by 15:30 hrs, Congratulations again to Mr & Mrs Cumming.

The bride and groom, wedding party, family and friends then all made their way to a marquee setup at Nurscombe Farm in Bramley, Surrey for a champagne reception. There was also an opportunity to stop at a small lake on the way to the reception venue and take some photographs of the newlyweds in the glorious sunny evening weather.

The wedding reception, speeches, first dance (one of the most challenging to photograph in a while) and evening celebrations were all held in the marquee and no doubt in to the early hours of Sunday.

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

At the beginning of September I had he pleasure of photographing Sue and Tom’s wedding at St. James’s Church in Rowledge, Surrey. Sue arrived at the church with her father in an open sided dark blue 1924 Oakland called ‘Maude’, one of a kind in this country. Sue and Tom were married in the church by 13:30 hrs, Congratulations again to Mr & Mrs Law.

The bride and groom, wedding party, family and friends then all made their way a short distance down the road to Frensham Heights in Rowledge, Surrey for a champagne reception on the stunning lawns overlooking the Surrey countryside. The wedding reception, speeches, cutting off the cake, first dance and evening celebrations were all held at Frensham Heights.

“We’re very happy that we chose Simon to be our wedding photographer. He worked absolutely tirelessly on the day, appearing in all the little nooks and crannies trying to get the best shot. We wanted someone who was unobtrusive but cared as much about the photographs as we did and we weren’t disappointed! The after wedding service with the album was great as well. We kept chopping and changing, adding pages, thinking about it for weeks on end and nothing was a problem. We spent a lot of time choosing our photographer but we came to the right choice in the end”

Congratulations again to Mr & Mrs Sharpe, married on Sunday 17th October, 2010. Andrea got ready at home in Reading, Berkshire before being transported to the wedding venue with her parents. An oak tree lined driveway leads up to Ufton Court, a beautiful Elizabethan Manor House set in stunning grounds near Reading. Andrea and Tim were then married in the Ufton Court barn at 1400hrs. The wedding party moved to the main house while the wedding breakfast for 125 guests was set up in the spacious 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.

We are really pleased that we chose you to be our photographer and would happily recommend you to our friends” ~ Andrea & Tim

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
