Hi all,

Still busy, busy, busy… and today I’d like to introduce you to Claire and Joe who are to be married in September this year at the beautiful Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire. I met up with Claire and Joe a week or so ago for a pre-wedding photo shoot in Nonsuch Park in Ewell (Surrey) and enjoyed a very relaxed couple of hours with them just wandering, chatting and shooting our photos. Both Claire and Joe are super easy to get along with, and ‘performed’ faultlessly in front of my camera – so before we knew it, we’d strolled all the way around in a big circle and were back to where we first set off. We got a lovely set of photos, and I came away really looking forward to shooting the wedding when the big day arrives: having already visited Eastnor Castle a month or two ago, I can’t wait to make good use of a multitude of great shooting locations – and I now know Claire and Joe will be great for photographing on the day!

So there you are, just a few of my favourite photos from the pre-wedding session. I hope you enjoyed them … I especially loved the soft feel of the first photo, processed in a slightly different way than my norm. Feel free to leave your comments below.

All the best for now!

Hi all,

Hey, I’m slowly but surely catching up with things! Since my recent computer hiccups a month or so ago I’ve been working furiously to make sure I catch up and keep up with everything – and following a rare weekend without a wedding this past weekend I think I’m finally getting there.

So today I’d like to share a few photos with you from Charlotte and Toby’s wedding which took place on Saturday 10th July in Bookham, Surrey. Another cooking-hot day, and another cooking-hot wedding. First stop of the day was Mum and Dad’s home in Fetcham where a stunning Charlotte was already waiting, resplendent in her wedding dress. With Karen assisting for the day we set to work taking some bridal photos, first indoors and then outside in the immaculately tended garden. Check out the photo below and congratulate Mum on making such a fabulously colourful living backdrop for our bridal photography!

On to the church and the wedding ceremony itself, then some formal photography outside before the wedding party moved on to the reception at Tyrrells Wood Golf Club. This was a new venue for me, but had some lovely views over the golf course which I was pleased to be able to use. This wedding was a little different to our usual, with more formal photography than we’d usually do – but we got lots of photos throughout the day and as we finally headed home following Charlotte and Toby’s first dance both Karen and I agreed it had been a good (if hot) day and we’d enjoyed covering the photography and having some fun with everyone during the day.

So let’s take a look at just a few of the photos now then – and of course, we’ll begin with bridal portrait of Charlotte… in Mum’s garden

That’s all for now! I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at the preview photos, we have lots more to come after I’ve shown them to Charlotte and Toby. Do feel free to leave your comments below.

All the best!

Another wedding shoe shot to start off with today – I love shoe shots, and what bride doesn’t pay particular attention to her shoes on her wedding day!?!? Don’t they look great? We has a fantastic ‘studio’ for this… a hastily emptied table in the back garden in full sunlight!

So today I’d like to introduce you to Jane and Martyn who were married just down the road from me in Carshalton, with the wedding reception taking place at the golf club in in Coulsdon. Karen and I met Jane at her home and found her to be über-cool and relaxed as she got ready with Mum. We set to work, first taking a few photos of Jane’s shoes, dress and flowers, then got some lovely bridal portraits of Jane in her wedding dress. Moving on, we met a nice and smiley Martyn at the church, took some further photos before the ceremony, then made our way to our allotted place at the back of the church to cover the wedding. Once all was done, off we went to the golf club, and got lots more photos over the course of the day (no pun intended)!

Let me show you a few teasers then, starting with this lovely quiet moment with Jane…

A couple of photojournalist photos for you now. This little fella was just such a character all day long… very cute!

Regular viewers will know I’m also a sucker for a good wedding rings photo: wow!

Speeches had both emotional moments, and laughs out loud(!)

…and one final photo for the romantics out there:

One day I just know I’m going to cook my sensor completely doing that… but hey, it makes a great photo, right?

That’s all for now then. We have plenty more to come, once Jane and Martyn are back from honeymoon. Do feel free to leave your comments below as usual – and thanks for looking.

All the best,

Rob.
