Lillebrooke Manor in Maidenhead was the location that Matt and Rachel had chosen for their wedding reception after getting married at St Margarets Church in High Wycombe.

The Day started with me going to visit Rachel at home to get some images of her dress and shoes. I love this part of the day as it lets me set the scene for the rest of the story of the day and helps to start the day off gently. Rachel was very well prepared, in face so much so she was ready and in her dress pretty much an hour before the ceremony. Meanwhile Matt was waiting patiently at the church, it was here where I went and met with him and the Vicar who was a great character happy for me to do whatever I wanted (within reason I assumed). After a great ceremony including a microphone change from the vicar.

After a few formal photos at the church it was off to Lillebrooke Manor for the wedding reception. It’s a lovely delightful place for a wedding reception and despite being a little chilly we managed to complete the rest of the formal photography here AND get some great photos of Matt and Rachel in the grounds of Lillebrooke manor by the manor house and by the Cart too. The inside of the barn had been decorated so beautifully I knew it would make a great wedding photography location! I wasn’t disappointed!

There were also some great speeches by the Father, Groom and Best men.. had me laughing and some great expressions too. Before we knew it the first dance was upon us and it was time to capture some of the mayhem on the dancefloor.

I’m going to leave you with some images from the day! enjoy and I look forward to reading your commments!

I was at the brilliant Orchid Hotel in Bournemouth Dorset. This was for the wedding of Mark and Gemma. I’ve known them both for some time now so it was great to be asked to photograph their wedding. We saw some snow and a little glimpse of the sun – it was a brilliant day complete with a photobooth which went down a storm in the evening. There were even bacon sandwiches in the evening! What a brilliant Day!

Here’s a sneak peek from the day. See you when you get back guys and thanks for having me along on the day!

Congratulations guys! See you when you get back!

Anyway thats a lot of waffle – on with the sneak peak – and shortly on with the full shoot on the blog.

Greg is based in blandford forum, a brilliant little georgian town in rural dorset (there are no motorways or cities in dorset fact hunters!) and is available for wedding photography through the UK, so if you like what you see then why not contact me (click that tab on the left ) of find out more about me

This last weekend I did some wedding video for a great friend of mine who got married at the dorchester corn exchange. The preparations took place at the Kings arms, dorchester which is pretty much next door, and is a very friendly hotel indeed.

The ceremony room in the Dorchester Corn exchange is great – big windows and plenty of window light.

So like the royal wedding here’s a sneak peek of the kiss

Dorchester wedding photography and Dorchester Wedding videography combined!

I was greeted by a slightly nervous Heather when I arrived at Cressbrook Hall – but – she soon felt at ease whilst I photographed some details and a very special bear.

Once she was ready it was time to relax before the ceremony

It was only a short drive to Eyam church nearby where I met up with Jools and photographed the rings! You might recognise them from my portfolio – these wedding rings were really special.

Then before you know it Heather arrived in a white wedding taxi!

The bridesmaids looked radiant with the flowers matching the colour scheme perfectly

Then it was time for Heather to make her big entrance (No photography allowed during the ceremony unfortunately)

The time to come out and greet all the guests as Mr & Mrs!

Then we stopped off en route back to Cressbrook Hall to get some portraits of Jools and Heather to take in the breathtaking scenery that the peak district offers

and I love the tones on this image – really has some atmosphere to it.

Then it was onto cressbrook hall proper to show off the official document and take another quick portrait before making the big entrance to all the guests.

The olives were delicous and the table plan was exquisite.

It was cupcakes for the wedding cake – with a top tier for cutting later

There was a great embarassing storyboard that had been setup with lots of happy childhood memories on.

Here again you can see the wedding bands and how special they are.

Jools had some fabulous shoes on. They even looked pretty comfortable.

Here Jools is doing his best catalogue poses as a warm up for another quick portrait shoot

We caught some lovely evening sun before heading back to the party.

I was treated to the same delicous food that the wedding party had – so thankyou very much for that guys – it’s always appreciated when I get some food Before we knew it – it was time for the speeches.

There was plenty of touching moments

and some amusing stories.

before the best man started his speech too.

then it was time for everyone to relax and mingle a little bit…

now it was time to party – no matter how old you were

a little bit of dancing…

Before the finale of the first dance (this is always a great end to the day… and Jools and Heather did us all proud.. in fact you may remember the first dance video of this.

Wow what a day! and what a wedding! Feel free to leave your comments below

I had one such letter come postcard this christmas from some an amazing couple who’s wedding I photographed up in London earlier this year. The wedding took in great catholic church, the great parks and we ended up near the naval college in greenwich. We even experienced a rainbow! It was an amazing day and sums up everything I love about being a wedding photographer… look out for the rest of the pictures in an upcoming blog post… for now see the sneak peek here.

Here is the front of the lovely postcard Simon and Marissa sent me.

and the back

the text reads:
Dear Greg,

thankyou so much for doing a beautiful ‘job’ at our wedding. You (along with ned) managed to capture some amazing moments which will allow us to hold on to those very special memories in a colourful and vivid way. We certainly didn’t realise what a huge process this ‘photographing your wedding’ business was and we – more than anything – appreciate so much your patience and flexibility. You were funny, easy going and supportive throughout and that meant the world to us. thanks again.

simon and marissa.

thanks guys!

Here’s one of my favcourites from the day and don’t forget to check out Claires website and gallery for the full set.

I was here photographing the wedding of Adam and Rebecca. I guess the party will still be going on and here’s a sneak peek for you both/all.

Enjoy and thanks for having me along!
