Mr & Mrs Brown 28th April 2012. Burnham Beeches Hotel

Saturday saw us traveling over to Burnham Buckinghamshire to Photograph Neil & Louiza's wedding. 

I met with Louiza at her parents house before the ceremony & Debbie was at the Church awaiting the Groom & the guests ( another benefit to 2 photographers).

Louiza & her Dad left in a beautiful Rolls Royce & made the journey to the Church. The ceremony was lovely & we were even able to take some pictures outside the church afterwards as the weather kindly held off for us.

They then made their way to Burnham Beeches Hotel for their Reception. Even in the drizzle, it's a stunning venue, & while we didn't venture too far we did manage to get outside for some couple shots. 

We set up the Photo Booth for the evening Reception & it was a big hit, as always. You can find the Gallery of these images Here

Both Debbie & I would like to thank you both & your Families & guests for making us feel so welcome on Saturday, We had a great day & have hopefully captured the day for you so your memories will last forever. Have a great Honeymoon & we will see you when you get back.

For now I leave you with some of my favorite images from the day

James & Shula 21st April 2012

 It was a busy weekend for us last week & Saturday saw us at the Wedding of James & Shula. They had a beautiful ceremony in Bisley & then we headed onto Frimley Hall Hotel for the Reception. Once again we were chasing away the weather but luckily for them it held off, allowing them their drinks reception on the lawn.

It was a lovely day filled with lots of laughs & the evening reception was great too. I found out from the speeches that music means a lot to Shula & James. Their tables names were Albums & James brother is in a band & they provided the evening entertainment, which was great. I was dancing along while shooting :)

Thankyou guys for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day. We hope you had a great day & are having a relaxing Honeymoon.

I will leave you with some of my favorite images from the day & I warn you it's pretty photo heavy :)

Mark & Anne 20th April 2012, Burford Bridge Hotel.



On Friday, we had the absolute pleasure of Photographing Mark & Anne's Wedding Day. We started at St Georges, West End complete with piper, for the lovely ceremony & then continued onto the Burford Bridge Hotel for their Reception. We followed the Bride & Groom up to Box Hill to have some pictures there & it was a far cry from the Blue sky's we left at the church. It had suddenly turned all dark & stormy which I must admit looks pretty good in the pictures. It was only a short stop & luckily we managed to get to the Hotel just before the rain came.

We did manage to make it out into the gardens for a few shots & luckily for them the Rain came again just as they were sitting down for their wedding breakfast.

Debbie & I would like to extend a big thanks to Anne & Marks friends & family for making us feel so welcome on Friday & I leave you with some of my favorite images from the day

Emma & David's Pre wedding shoot at Loseley Park

On Sunday, we met with Emma & David at the fabulous Loseley park. It's another first time venue for us, but one we have been wanting to shoot for a long time. When we arrived we were kindly shown around the Great Hall (doesn't disappoint) & the Drawing Room by the wedding coordinator, she then left us to explore the walled gardens & we snuck over to the Barn, where preparations were happening for a wedding later that day.

It's a spectacular space with a maze of pathways & hidden corners, & while it wasn't in full bloom, it still looked amazing. Emma & David are getting married in August & we cant wait to see all the flowers, especially the Roses in full bloom.

We loved walking around with them & finding all sorts of locations to use on the day. We were like 2 kids in a candy store :) The one thing we would like to change for their wedding day is just for no wind please :)

Here are a few of our favourites from the day.

Jo & Jim's beautiful wedding at Taplins Place

 On Saturday, we had the absolute pleasure of Photographing Jo & Jim's wedding. We have been looking forward to this day for a while & more so after our fun Pre wedding shoot back at the beginning of March.

Taplins Place is an amazing venue & we were so lucky that the weather held & they were able to have their outdoor ceremony, especially as they had spent so much time dressing The old Stables for their Hog Roast. They cleverly named the tables after comedians & to keep their guest sweet (sorry) they had Sweet tree's by Creative Candi, which went down a treat (sorry again)!

I met with Jo, her Mother, Father & Bridesmaids at Wokefield park in the morning for the pre wedding Photography & Debbie headed down to the Venue to be with Jim & the groomsmen.

It was a great day & very rarely do we find ourselves feeling like a part of the family. We really got to see where Jo & Jim get their sense of humor & personalities from & have to say have never seen a couple so well suited for each other. The whole day was an emotional rollercoaster, even for us :) & was topped off nicely by the funniest speeches we have heard in a long time.

We hope you enjoyed the rest of your day & have an amazing honeymoon in Mauritius. Here are a few of our favourites, I warn you it's photo heavy.

Victoria & David, Pre wedding shoot

Last week we met with Victoria & David at the Bush Hotel in Farnham. It was a gloriously sunny afternoon & we took a stroll through the grounds.

We have shot at the Bush Hotel before & exhibited in a few of their Wedding fairs, but it's always nice doing a venue visit with the couple & seeing the space through their eyes.

We are looking forward to being back in June but leave you with a few of our favourites.

Chris & Michelle's Engagement shoot at Oakley Hall, Basingstoke

On Thursday we met with Chris & Michelle at the beautiful Oakley Hall Hotel in Basingstoke. We have been so lucky to visit so many beautiful venues & this one was not a disappointment. Set back from the road & in beautifully landscaped gardens, it's a really magnificent building. The grounds well the whole place really is so well kept, it's nice to see a place really care about the appearance of the whole building.

The weather was not really on our side & although they don't look it Chris & Michelle were freezing as we were walking around the grounds. We found so many great locations to use on their wedding day & it's so nice to see a venue before hand & get the creative juices flowing.

We are looking forward to their wedding in August but as always leave you with a few favorites.

If you are getting married & would like to discuss your Photography with us, email us today to ask about a consultation & portfolio viewing.

Laura & Stuart, Orchardleigh House Pre wedding shoot

Last week saw us traveling down to Frome Somerset to met with Laura & Stuart at the Stunning Orchardleigh House. The sun was shining for us & we were very excited. We have been so excited for this shoot since meeting Laura & Stuart at a wedding fair.  We had checked out the venue from their website & knew it would be gorgeous, but were stunned & amazed from the moment we starting traveling up the 3 mile drive!  The drive through the Estate was impressive and the House even more so! Laura & Stuart will have access to all the rooms on their wedding day, which are all full of character as we found out whilst exploring with them. I'm glad that the main reception rooms are downstairs, it's an Aladdin's cave of rooms & staircases, one I would be sure to get lost in.

Orchardleigh House is set in the most stunning countryside and is surrounded by rolling fields. It's breath taking & a Photographers dream venue.

We made use of the gardens for Laura & Stuart's shoot & can't wait to come back in September for the wedding.

As always, I will leave you with my favorites, but there are not too many as I don't want to give too much away ;)

Please feel free to leave us a comment.

Family Portrait, Blackwater.

I am excited I can now blog this Portrait session we did.

Last month, we took our Studio along & met with Ben & his boys at their home in Blackwater. Ben was planning a surprise for his wife for her Birthday & had organised for the Portrait session to be done in Secret. The boys had ben really good keeping the Secret, & were excellent models. Although we only had a short time with them, we knew that their personalities really shone through & we got some great shots. When I delivered the prints a week later, Ben said that they hadn't said anything yet, so I think he managed to keep the surprise under wraps till her Birthday, later that week.

Thanks for having us along guys, we had a great session & I think you will agree, we got some fab shots.

Here are some of my favorites from the Shoot.


If you would like to book a Portrait Session for your Family, Please Email us or Contact Ruth on 07852 719276 or Debbie on 07957 688744.

For now though I will leave you with some of my favourite shots from yesterday.

Post

I love getting post :) It's nice when it's a complete surprise but even better when you are awaiting a parcel. There is nothing quite like opening the box to see in the flesh what already looks awesome online. I have received alot recently, from baby hats & cheesecloths to new flyers & my new desk. I have been most excited for our new Wedding props to arrive. I ordered lots of props on sticks for our Photo Booth which is just a great laugh at your Evening Reception & then these great little fans for the Bride & Groom. 


I just had to photograph the whole package I got from Little Retreats as I was blown away by the detail even if the Packaging.


Once again it's photo heavy :) & if you would like to get in contact about Wedding or Portrait Photography, then just Contact us. We would love to hear from you.

Pre Wedding Shoot at Taplins Place

On Saturday we headed over to Taplins Place in Hartley Whitney to meet with Jo & Jim. This is the first time we had been to the venue. We have heard so many things about it, but didn't quite know what to expect. Well it didn't disappoint. It's an amazing space, full of whimsical charm & although they weren't quite there yet, you know that once they flower the gardens will be amazing.


Jo & Jim are getting married in April, & Taplins Place is extra special as if the weather is our friend it's going to be an outdoor ceremony. whilst walking around the space we got loads of ideas for their day. We all walked the route Jo will take to the outdoor ceremony & while the kids were a little nervous making sure they got the tempo right & left no man behind you can see they are all very excited.


We were so glad the later start meant that they weather cleared up for us, & produced a fabulously sunny morning. The shoot was a lot of fun & we really can't wait for the Wedding Day. The kids were so taken with our prop box too that, that will definitely be making an appearance again.


I will leave you with some of my favourite's from Saturdays shoot. I feel I have to warn you, it's photo heavy :)
