Here is a sneak preview from Claire and Jonathan’s Wedding at Ashridge. I had to post some of these images from what has to be one of the most spectacular venues around to marry at. Unfortunately the weather was not what we had hoped for with the rain getting gradually worse as the morning progressed. Fortunately it did break as the Ceremony ended, just long enough for us to take some portraits and group photographs outside. The weather certainly didn’t dampen any spirits on the day, everybody had a wonderful time and partied well into the night.

The weather could have been better but at least the rain broke long enough for us to take some photographs outside before the Wedding Breakfast

..... even if it was windy!

Simple, Beautiful, Timeless.

I love this stair case!

Here are a some of the first images I have edited from Filomena and Marcos’s recent wedding at Parklands Quendon Hall. Everybody had a wonderful day, which was lightly themed around the couples Mediterranean background.

Here are a few Photographs I took at Emily and Adrian’s Wedding at Parklands, Quendon Hall on Wednesday. Apart from a few dark clouds the weather was fabulous all day, which is more than could be said for the rest of the week! Emily always wanted her wedding to be outside so it was great her wish could be granted.

We managed to take a few photographs after dinner with Parklands' deer in view.

We have just finished editing Lucy and Matthew’s wedding from a few weeks ago and had to post a few of their beautiful wedding images. Lucy looked simply beautiful in her flowing Grecian style dress. She arrived at All Saints’ Church in her home village of Haslingfield on her fathers arm to be greeted by close family and friends. After the service we took a few photographs and departed to a shower of confetti for the couples reception at the nearby Longstowe Hall.

Here are a few photographs from Stella and Perry’s Wedding. What a great day it was! Stella got ready at Parklands, before heading to St Mary the Virgin Church in Newport for their Ceremony.

After the Ceremony all the couple’s guests where driven back to Parklands, Quendon Hall for the reception in the same coach which appeared in “Rock and Chips”. Stella and Perry’s guests also included Sue Holderness and John Challis who played Marlene and Boycie in Only Fools and Horses.

I thought I would upload a snippet of Victoria and Ben’s Wedding at The Manor Of Groves in High Wych while I complete the edit of their whole wedding.

It was a perfect day, Ben arrived in style wearing a dark Blue morning suit, while Victoria wore a beautiful white gown with a flowing veil which looked spectacular for their outdoor ceremony.
Later in the Day all the guests where entertained by The Surprise Sopranos. All took to the floor between the main coarse and desert.

Natalie and Jonathan’s wedding followed on the 13th December at Queens’ College, Cambridge. The day was especially important for Natalie as she studied here as a student. I really enjoyed taking the portraits of Natalie and Jonathan around the grounds, Natalie looked so elegant in her dress and Jonathan cut a very dashing look in tails.

The wedding of Louise and Dan followed Natalie and Jonathan’s at All Saint’s Church in Chigwell Row on 20th December. Their reception followed at Channels Golf Club in Chelmsford. Louise and Dan’s wedding was the first wedding I have photographed in snow for a number of years although it was bitterly cold the low winter light was sumptuous and the blanket of snow complimented Louise’s dress beautifully.

My last wedding to photograph of 2009 was on Boxing Day! Nicky and Alan chose to marry at Hanbury Manor. Their ceremony was in the Library in front of a roaring log fire and their reception was in the conservatory. It was so Christmassy! Everybody had a wonderful day. We chose t take the bridal portraits of Nicky and Alan inside as the rooms and panelling around Hanbury Manor lended themselves to a Christmas Wedding. Nicky Looked simply exquisite in her wedding dress and was helped all the way by her flower girl Ella!
