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!

Today saw me back at the Sandbanks Hotel in Sandbanks which is in Poole, Dorset. It was great to meet up with Kim and Paul again and I’d been looking forward to this wedding as I love the Sandbanks area to photograph weddings. Despite a dodgy weather forecast we managed to have a glorious sunshiney day! And what a day it was! We had a beach view wedding with brilliant sunshine. We had Powerboat racing in the background. We had paddling in the sea by Kim and the bridesmaids. We had a royal marines commando zap cat racing boat as a platform for Kim and Paul to pose on. And that wasn’t all we had singing waiters. We had some epic sunsets that just kept getting better and better! This is Beach wedding photography at its best.

This sneak peek could have had about 50 photographs from the wedding in, but, I thought I’d better not and just leave you with one of the awesome couple with an awesome sunset.. What an AMAZING and AWESOME WEDDING to photograph. I didn’t even miss the hog roast As always the FJB team looked after me well with Sebastian being the perfect host again.

Anyway enough with the waffle here’s an image from Paul and Kims wedding – just look at those colours! We’re not in Mordor we’re in Sandbanks Dorset!

This weekend saw me in Southampton to photograph Darren and Sophs wedding. There were mini’s (proper old ones not these new rubbish ones) hail, sunshine, a huge church, a golf course and 2 nations joining together. Darren is Scottish and Soph is south Vietnamese by birth. Darren is a keen cyclist and Soph is into her track and field athletics so we have some great fun! In fact the whole day was a fun packed International wedding extravaganza! I’ve known darren for a few nears now, we first met doing some s-t-r-o-b-i-s-t photography meets in various places round southampton such as the old town hall and the aviation museum too. So I was delighted to be asked to photograph his wedding! Despite us having sun all week the weekend managed to forecast heavy rain. Although there were times of heavy showers there were ample breaks in the weather to get some awesome images, in some of them we even used the weather to our advantage.

I’m going to leave you with this photograph from their wedding day taken underneath the giant oak tree at Bowlers Golf Club in between rain showers. Despite the wind and rain everyone had a fabulous time and thanks to Bill from Bowlers for looking after us all so well! Have a great time in France guys and I’ll see you when you get back!

Today saw me photograph the wedding of Andy and Aby with my good friend Tim at Kingston Country Courtyard. I’ve photographed some weddings here before and it’s still a beautiful location for a wedding. This time you could actually see Corfe Castle off in the distance and I even passed some Vikings with axes on the way to the wedding. I covered the Groom preparation whilst Tim was with Aby back in Wimborne.

There was such fun at this wedding, limbo dancing, cute kids having fun, people laughing. A real honour to be along for the ride.

Here’s some images from the day.

You may have noticed that my wedding packages include engagement shoots where we get to go and get some fun photos in a kind of practice photoshoot before your wedding. Well You may wonder what these are like?
So I remembered I made a little video a while ago with me in action during an engagement shoot. You have great fun, we get some good time to know each other a little better – it’s a win-win!

This was taken around Christchurch and the Christchurch harbour hotel where their wedding was a few months later.

Here’s the video and here’s some of the pictures.

Bournemouth Beach is a great location for wedding photography. I’ve photographed lots of bride and grooms on bournemouth beach and taken lots of couples on engagement shoots on the beach too. The sometimes have inflatable slides and we managed to convince them to let us go on that for some photographs! I like images to be fun, romantic and personal to you. Here’s an image of a couple sat in the sun on the deckchairs with the sun and sea in it.
