Vicky & Tim's Pre-Wedding Portrait Session

So here are my first 2008 couple! Vicky and Tim are getting married next month so I met up with them last week to chat about the timings for their day and to do their pre-wedding portraits.

We did the shoot at Ston Easton Park where they will be having their reception and it was nice to make use of the grounds as we won't have much chance to on their wedding day due to lack of light. And what a great day we had for it - it was cold and clear - the perfect winters day!

Here are a couple of images from their session...

Liz & Jason's Wedding

Well it seems like ages since I had a wedding! With none in November I thought I'd be having a nice relaxing break but it wasn't to be...far too much work to catch up on!

So on Sunday 2nd December it was back to doing what I love best - I was in Cardiff to photograph Liz & Jason's big day! Well it wasn't a great day for it - gale force winds and driving rain but the Miskin Manor was warm and cosy and made a wonderful location for their service and reception. Plus with all the decorations and Christmas trees the place gave a real festive feel to the day.

Liz had decided not to go for a traditional cake - but instead had gone for one made entirely out of cheese! It was fantastic and made my mouth water just looking at it!

Here are a few photographs from their day...

Christmas Deadline Fast Approaching!

Just a quick message to all those thinking of ordering prints from wedding or portrait galleries as Christmas presents. The deadline for guaranteed delivery by Christmas is Friday 30th November 2007 - that's next Friday!

Orders received after this date will be delivered as soon as possible but delivery in time for Christmas cannot be guaranteed.

Another Real Life Wedding Feature!

I'm excited to say that my 7th July couple - Amanda & Drew - have had their wedding featured in another magazine. The latest issue (Dec 2007) of Wedding Ideas magazine is running a six-page spread using my images of their wedding and it looks fantastic. Check it out at www.weddingideasmagazine.co.uk.

Keep an eye out for another one of my couples - Sarah & Phil - whose wedding will be appearing in an upcoming issue.

Helen & Gus' Wedding

Saturday saw me photographing my last wedding until December - but don't worry I'll still be blogging every week! Helen & Gus got married at Athelhampton House near Dorchester and had a lovely ceremony where they each added their own vows.

The weather held long enough for us to make use of the wonderful grounds for their photographs and Gus and his best man's speeches were some of the most emotional I've seen in a while!

Sarah & John's Wedding

Last Saturday saw me covering Sarah & John's wedding at St. Barnabas church in Warmley, followed by their reception at Chewton Place, just outside of Bristol.

Sarah told me that within a night of getting engaged she had already planned the whole wedding in her head! Well, it was a good plan because the day was fantastic! Poor John was a nervous wreck before the service but it all went well and soon they were outside enjoying themselves with their guests.

Julie & Robert's Wedding

Last Saturday was Julie & Robert's wedding at Hestercombe House and Gardens near Taunton. I often use Hestercombe for pre-wedding shoots as its grounds are so fantastic - everywhere you turn there's another photo opportunity! So it was great fun getting to photograph a wedding there.

It looked even more stunning than usual because of the lovely Autumn colours and this was the theme of Julie & Robert's wedding - from the bouquets to the mini sugarcraft conkers and leaves surrounding the cake!
