Luxury Wedding Venues ...

This is a sample of an exquisite old manor house called Dunchurch, in Rugby Warwickshire. I photographed an intimate wedding there last Summer 2012. A small gathering, but such a wonderful occasion.  This venue has it all ... luxury, space, greenery and  ... well more luxury. It was a pleasure to photograph, easy to shoot natural shots of people feeling relaxed and enjoying themselves, but also, a pleasure to photograph those important couple shots at the end. (I wish it were closer to here). But, if you want a venue like this, there is always, Avington Park, Goodwood, Stansted Park ...

Photographing the Salon ...

So, my husband is a hairdresser. He owns a salon in Bishops Waltham, aptly named Gaudions Hairdressing. Everytime I go to get my hair done, (every 3 months!), I photograph more staff and details of his salon. This week, we had a group shot which was quite fun and photographed Tracy, Brooke, and little Lark.  The girls (and husband) are great fun. This is how it went ...

Military Wedding Photography The Langstone Hotel, Emsworth 2013

Zoe and Matt got married on February 16, 2013. They were very lucky with the weather in that it was bright and overcast (the perfect weather for  photography as there are no strong shadows).  Matt is in the military and is going to Afghanastan in April, so their wedding was intimate and emotional.

Set at the St John's Church in Emsworth and there were daffodils and pansies shooting up (this is before the March dump of snow).  So lucky.  With 8 guards and their swords the wedding was filled with pomp and circumstance but also the young couple looked happy and relaxed.  Matt's mother, Elaine organised the church to have tea and cakes for those who were coming to the church only, which was a lovely touch.

We stopped at Emsworth water front for some romantic photos before setting off to The Langstone Hotel on Hayling Island.  See the day unfold.
