Today I’d like to share with you the lovely wedding of Tavia and Stuart which took place in Oaks House which can be found in beautiful Surrey countryside. Surrey is getting very popular for me lately – this one was my 7-th wedding this year in Surrey. It was my first time in Oaks House though and I really enjoyed it!
As usual, enjoy a selection of some of my favourite images from this wedding. Please feel free (and encouraged) to comment and share! :)

The very busy wedding season is coming to an end, so I can finally share some other photography stuff with you, such as engagement shots. Many of my clients chose to have an engagement photo session, which is a great way to have some beautiful photos before the wedding at some special for them place! That special place this time was the amazing Westonbirt Arboretum where I headed to enjoy some Autumn loveliness together with Mark and Kate. They are such a lovely couple and I am already very much looking forward to shooting their wedding on December this year. Anyway, here are just a few of their engagement session photos..

Guy and Gemini are one of the most amazing couples I’ve ever had pleasure to work with. They arrived from Los Angeles to celebrate their wedding in my favourite wedding venue, the Maunsel House. Needless to say I was very much looking forward to this day and despite the weather not being too kind to us, it was an absolutely amazing wedding.

Earlier this year I visited beautiful Orchardleigh House in Somerset to photograph wedding of Maurizio and Tamsin. Although they both now live in Bristol, Maurizio is originally from Italy and Tamsin’s family are from England so it was a nice mixture of Italian and British and I really enjoyed it.
The amazing Orchardleigh House is surely worth mentioning. I heard a lot of good about this venue, but it was my first time shooting there. The place is HUGE! Orchardleigh is a romantic Somerset Estate 10 miles south of Bath, with a magnificent Victorian Stately Home, an Island Church, 18-hole Golf Course veiled in a tranquil setting of parks and lakes and with a sweeping backdrop of rolling hills. The Orchardleigh House itself is just as impressive as its scenery, full of English charm and tradition features dating back 800 years.
As usual, a selection of some of my favourite images from this wedding. Please feel free to comment of course.

This August I was visiting Rookery Manor in Weston-Super-Mare to photograph a wedding of Roy and Camille. I’ve been very lucky with wedding venues lately… Located near Weston-Super-Mare, Rookery Manor is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, offering a tranquil setting for weddings! It’s 16th century Manor House is surrounded by elegant gardens, formal lawns and flower beds and altogether it really looks amazing.
Roy and Camille live in Bristol and they are such a fun! Camille could easily be a model (check out some of the photos by the end of this post) and she is probably the bride with the best voice I have ever photographed.. Her joining the band and singing Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie” was absolutely amazing! What a lucky man you are, Roy! :) Congrats to you both!

Jacob and Samantha got married in Pengethley Manor Hotel in picturesque Herefordshire. They had a small and relaxed country wedding in what was such a lovely summer’s day. Nestled in the heart of glorious Herefordshire, 4 miles North of the historic Market town Ross-on-Wye, Pengethley Manor is a Beautiful Georgian Country Manor surrounded by National Trust parkland.
I met Jacob and Samantha last year and they are such a lovely couple and soo much in love to each other.. Wedding photography was a very high priority for them and that made me even more glad to be chosen to capture their wedding celebrations. Here’s their wedding story in photos…

Botleys Mansion in Surrey was the venue for one of my all time favourite weddings! Favourite not just because Botleys Mansion is an absolutely amazing wedding venue, bet mostly because of the two people getting married that day – the absolutely lovely James and Jenna. I have been very lucky having the most amazing clients and James and Jenna were one of the loveliest people I have worked with. I get to know them a bit better a while ago when we did an engagement session in London (the photos of which will follow soon). They had planned their wedding so well! Every smallest detail was thought through, the Botleys Mansion was beautifully decorated, the food was amazing, oh and did I mentioned the wedding cake was made by James himself..? :)
It was such a pleasure to capture the big day of James and Jenna.. The biggest problem for me was to choose photos to publish here…
