The Wedding of Gemma & Tim

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Gemma & Tim at the fabulous Goodwood Park Hotel, Goodwood. We had a beautiful sunny day, which was great after such a damp week. In fact I had to get everyone in the shade to avoid the brightness!

The Wedding of Alanna & James

This weekend I photographed the wedding of Alanna & James at The Farnham House Hotel, Farnham, Surrey. We had a great day, starting with Alanna getting ready in the bridal suit, through to the early evening celebrations. It was a bit overcast for most of the day which is actually pretty good for photographs, then later in the afternoon it cleared and we had a lovely sunny evening for some more portraits of the happy couple together.

The Wedding of Lieu & David

Saturday the 5th of September saw the wedding of Lieu & David at St Margaret's Church, Angmering followed by reception at the magnificent Goodwood House. What an awesome day in every way, with coverage beginning with Lieu getting ready and staying with them through to the fireworks late into the evening. A beautiful pearl white Rolls Royce Phantom accompanied by several stunning classic Mercedes Benz cars transported them and the bridal party to Goodwood House in style. The weather stayed dry too, which meant we could get a nice big group shot of all 170+ guests outside Goodwood House. A string quartet called Siren played throughout the reception at various points, with a grand finale after the speeches which was really spectacular. It was a great day and I cant wait to process this wedding!

The Wedding of Kate & Carl

On Friday the 4th September I photographed the wedding of Kate and Carl at The Spread Eagle Hotel in Midhurst. I began coverage with the arrivals and stayed with them through to the first dance and evening celebrations. Most of the photographs were taken in the garden as the weather was so nice, along with a couple of shots of the happy couple on the staircase too. Visit the website to view the full wedding.

The Wedding of Jo & Ben

On Tuesday I photographed the wedding of Jo & Ben at Bailiffscourt Hotel. I began with Jo getting ready and stayed with them until the wedding breakfast. The weather was mostly dry so we could get outside in the courtyard for some photos. Despite the extremely strong wind, Jo & Ben were keen to explore the grounds for a few portraits of just the two of them together. Photos online soon.

The Wedding of Carly & David

On Bank holiday Monday I photographed the wedding of Carly & David at St Mary's church Aldingbourne followed by reception at Bailiffscourt Hotel. Another awesome sunny day (pretty rare for a bank holiday!). I began coverage in the morning with Carly getting ready before leaving for the church in the very same Rolls Royce that her parents had for their wedding which was really special. As it was so very sunny we took a few group shots and their romantic portraits after the meal when the sun had gone down a little.

The Wedding of Anna & Marc

Sunday the 30th of August saw the wedding of Anna and Marc at the stunning Eastwell Manor, Ashford in Kent. Being a good few miles from home I set off early to start shooting the girls getting ready in one of the cottages. The ceremony took place outside so they were really lucky with the weather, staying nice and dry all day. The wonderful building made the perfect backdrop for the group photos before the wedding breakfast. After the meal I took a few portraits of the two of them together before the sun went down and the evening celebrations began.

The Wedding of Kat & Rob

Here are a few shots from Kat & Rob's wedding at Ghyll Manor last weekend. Although it was raining pretty heavily during the bridal prep shots, we were ultra lucky later on as it brightened up nicely. Kat is from Germany and it was a first for me to see them act out an old German tradition of them cutting through a wooden log together! All of the photographs will be online in a week or so.

The Wedding of Emily & Stuart

Today I photographed the wedding of Emily & Stuart at The Ravenswood. Emily didn't want the whole 'getting ready routine' so I just popped up to her room at the last minute to get a couple of shots of her before the ceremony. After the ceremony we headed onto the lawn for some quick family group photos and some romantic portraits by the lake - just in time before the rains came, and boy did they come! I then left them to enjoy the rest of their special day as they sat down to the wedding breakfast.

The wedding of Claire & Simon

On Saturday I photographed the wedding of Claire and Simon at The Barn at Bury Court, Bentley in Surrey. We all had a fabulous day, the weather was fine and the venue was perfect (apart from the thunder bugs that is!). I began coverage with Claire getting ready and stayed with them through to the evening celebrations. It was great to see Simon's brother Adrian and his wife Nicki who's wedding I photographed back in 2007. I will be seeing them all again next year for Nicki's sisters wedding too!

The Wedding of Lucinda & Kevin

On Saturday 11th July I photographed the wedding of Lucinda & Kevin at Bailiffscourt Hotel, Climping. Being a 'slightly damp' day we unfortunately had to stay within the confines of the building. I did however manage to entice them into a doorway to get some natural light portraits of the two of them together while I braved the elements on the outside!

The Wedding of Lindsey & Anton

This weekend (Friday 3rd) I photographed the wedding of Lindsey & Anton at Our Lady of Ransom Roman Catholic Church in Eastbourne. I began coverage with Lindsey getting ready at her parents house, along with her 7 bridesmaids! The service was great, with Lindsey & Anton facing the congregation pretty much throughout the ceremony along with uplifting live music too. After the ceremony and a couple of shots outside we all went on to the reception at the Hydro Hotel. We didn’t have much time before the meal so I stayed with them through to the evening, allowing me to do the speeches, main group of everyone and some more ‘paparazzi’ shots too. All of the shots from the day will be online in a week or so.

The Wedding of Karen & Steve

On Friday 26th June I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Karen & Steve at Amberley Museum. We had a great day, the weather was just fine and there was a really nice relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. I began coverage with Karen getting ready at her parents house in Felpham, near Bognor Regis before heading to Amberley Museum for the pre wedding shots of Steve and guest arrivals. After the ceremony, guests were treated to a ride on a vintage open top bus, which was really cool. I stayed with them just beyond the barbeque later in the evening. The wedding will be online soon.

The wedding of Kimberley & Paul

On Saturday the 20th of June I photographed the wedding of Kimberley & Paul at St James the Less in Lancing followed by reception at The Dome Cinema on Worthing. I think it was the first wedding that I have done at this church (including my own!) when there was no rain at all! It did get a very cloudy at one point and I thought ‘oh here we go again’ but no, it was fine. After a few family groups outside the church, we headed to the reception and to the beach for some romantic shots.

The NEW Reportage Album

I am now offering a new ‘Reportage’ album. This album replaces and upgrades the previous model and I think it is a major improvement. On the outside the album is covered with luxurious heavy grained leather. On the inside the album contains book bound pages with 50 mixed size prints, mounted behind matching overlays. Here is a shot of my new demo album, which I have just finished mounting.
