Awesome Relaxed Garden Marquee Wedding Photography – Amy and James

Awesome Relaxed Garden Marquee Wedding Photography – Amy and James

Scorchio! What an awesome and relaxed wedding it was this weekend. The weather helped us all too, the beautiful british summer well and truly had his hat on for Amy and James’ wedding at Poole Guildhall. I started off at Amy’s parents awesome house near Christchurch and was gobsmacked by what I saw there! Amy had properly gone to town with decorating the marquee with so much attention to detail I nearly exploded on the spot. Look out for a virtual tour of it below! This has to be the most awesome and amazingly relaxed garden wedding I’ve had the good fortune to photograph! I shot some video of the wedding ceremony too which you can see below.

After some preparation with Amy and her bridesmaids all the guests departed to Poole Guildhall on a red route-master bus. I was in hot pursuit, in fact we arrived so early that the previous wedding was still going on! After some time the last wedding moved on and we were able to move inside Poole Guildhall and prepare for Amy’s arrival. Being super organised Amy was actually early too, but, better early than late. It was slightly warm inside the guildhall and I could see James sigh with relief when the doors opened and Amy walked down the aisle towards him looking AMAZING in her gorgeous wedding dress! After a fab ceremony with a charismatic registrar there were a few photographs on the steps outside before everyone being ushered back onto the red bus and heading back to Amy’s parents garden where the marquee of awesomeness awaited! James, Amy and myself stopped off en route at a super secret location with ferns, trees and greenery aplenty for some photos of themselves with some lovely greenery. I shared a couple of these below as a special treat 🙂

Martin and Heather – Poole Guildhall Wedding Photographer

Martin and Heather – Poole Guildhall Wedding Photographer

I love shooting weddings are Poole Guildhall, it’s a fun location, everyone is friendly there, there is great light and it looks pretty awesome for photos too! In fact in dorset we’re spoiled for wedding venues. Anyway back to the awesome wedding of Martin and Heather. On a glorious sunny day in Poole I arrived to meet my good friend Tim who was main shooter for this wedding. You’ve probably seen plenty of weddings that I second shoot with Tim, we work great as a team and it gives me chance to take some cool shots and even record a wedding video. I’ve been trialing my new 4k capable video camera which is pretty awesome, and produces fantastic video. I’ve linked to the youtube video below and although i shot it in 4k video I processed and edited it to full 1080p video (as most people don’t have any way to properly play back 4k video). Take a look at the wedding video later after you’ve had a look at the awesome wedding photography below.

After a great wedding ceremony at the Poole Guildhall it was off for the wedding reception and wedding breakfast at the antelope in poole. The food there is great and the staff are helpful and friendly too. Plus it’s right on the quay so you’re not too far away for great pictures 🙂

Speaking of pictures, here are some photos from Martin and Heathers Poole Guildhall wedding.

Jess and Math Italian Villa Dorset – E-Shoot wedding photography – sneak peek

Jess and Math Italian Villa Dorset – E-Shoot wedding photography – sneak peek

Ahead of Jess and Maths wedding at the Italian Villa next year we met up in the sunshine in Dorset not too far from my studio. I’d met Jess and Math at a recent wedding fair at the Italian Villa and it was great to see them both again. After a quick chat we went for a walk in the tall grass, before finding a genuine crop circle complete with a van parked there to investigate (presumably there is an official body that does all this stuff – though i didn’t see any tin foil or Mulder and Scully). We had some fun in the crop circle before going for another walk by the gate and the grass. Thanks for being such awesome sports guys! It’s good to get some different photos on engagement shoots as it’s much harder to jump fences and lay on the grass in a wedding dress and suit 🙂

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding at the Italian Villa, everything is so awesome there!

Ed and Ali’s Kings Arms Hotel Wedding Photography – A Christchurch wedding

Ed and Ali’s Kings Arms Hotel Wedding Photography – A Christchurch wedding

This last few weeks I’ve been a busy wedding photographer. The weather has been amazing and this was a great day at Christchurch’s Kings Arms Hotel. The wedding of Ed and Ali took place on Friday in glorious sunshine and the bridesmaids dresses were amazing.. doubly so because of them being made by one of the bridesmaids themselves. After a great ceremony it was time to head over the road to the pavilion and relax with drinks and canapes on the lawn. Ed and Ali are vegetarian so all the food was vegetarian too, luckily I love vegetarian food (not as much as bacon) but I do like my food. I also got to try out my new 4K video camera too during the day – so stay tuned for some wedding video from that too.

Once again thanks go to Tim C for having me along as second shooter. I love working with Tim we’re a great team and work great together too.
