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!
Today I am very glad one of my weddings has been featured in Whimsical Wonderland Weddings which is one of the most popular and quirkiest wedding blogs around. The wedding of Paul and Becky was featured. Click on the image above and see for yourself.
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…
A few weeks back I visited Worthing in West Sussex to document Phil and Marisa’s wedding! Here’s what’s came out of it..
Today’s wedding was captured in and around the Halswell House in the beautiful Somerset countryside! Ian and Brittany live in London, but for their wedding day they chose to get out of the capital to the countryside! It was my first wedding in Halswell House and I really enjoyed it. The venue is magnificent – located in Goathurst, Somerset it’s a Grade I listed 17th Century country house with absolutely stunning grounds. Ian and Brittany had arranged a grand wedding with lot’s of quirky features and the most amazing live music at the end.. they’re called Rockabellas – with killer heels, killer curves and killer harmonies and vintage vocals, they really made the evening special. Ohh and then there was some magic on the evening.. Anyway, enough writing, let the photos speak…
I looked through Nick and Alice’s wedding photos over five times to pick ones to publish here, and still I couldn’t get the count below 100, so be prepared for long, but absolutely amazing wedding gallery! The wedding of Alice and Nick was quite different then the usual wedding. Firstly, it was a Jewish Wedding with the ceremony held following the Jewish law and traditions. Secondly, the wedding took place not in some dedicated wedding venue, but in a private garden in Richmond, London – It was a bit like from fairy tale – hard to imagine a more perfect setting for wedding. And then there was attention to details. Everything was so well thought through and every singe detail seemed to be perfect. Just scroll down and take a look at the cake!! :) Overall it was an amazing day and I am so glad to have been part of it. Mazel Tov!!
Although I am based in Bristol, somehow most of my weddings are usually taking place quite some distance away. I’m so used to driving to London and other destinations around the country to shoot weddings… but this time it was different. The wedding of Alex and Louisa took place in Bristol, in fact their venue – St George’s Hall is just 15 minute walk from where I live. So this was the first time I left my car home and headed to wedding on foot. :)
Alex and Louisa is absolutely the loveliest couple ever! I met them just a few months back and they instantly decided that I am the photographer for them, and I am so glad for that!
