Vicki and Tom get hitched at Notley Tythe Barn, Buckinghamshire

Vicki and Toms wedding was such a blast to photograph with so much to photograph! I loved Notley Tythe Barn as the wedding venue, it felt so intimate and private. This was enhanced by the low light during the ceremony and reception which really meant searching out the pockets of light. There were loads of places outside for cool portraits including an old barn building in the field next door. Vicki and Tom were up for anything and made me feel so comfortable. Anyway of the words, here are some cool pictures from the day.

Alison and Tom - Amazing Tipi Wedding at Flatts Barn, Scarborough

I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly, fun couple to photograph than Alison and Tom. Their wedding took place at Flatts Barn, Scarborough. It was such a unique and impressive venue that I really hope to work their again soon. The building is split into two levels with the majority of the guests situated on the lower level and bride and groom and close family on the upper level. It proved a challenge as I really wanted to show every aspect of this unique venue so made sure that we went back for some cool couple portraits later on in the day.

The reception was in a super cool Tipi which I absolutely love shooting as they always make for great pictures. There was also a caravan for the bride and groom to escape too in case they need five minutes to themselves! It was my first time in Scarborough and I was blown away with the quality of the light, so soft and magical and a photographers dream. I loved the relaxed nature of Alison and Toms wedding. They weren’t big into loads of staged group photos and instead love the candid documentary style which is my trademark and why they hired me . I felt very lucky to be spending the day with great people in an amazing part of the country.

Rene and Phil - Relaxed Rustic Marquee Wedding in Tetbury, Gloucestershire

What a brilliant day I had last summer photographing Rene & Phil get hitched down in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. They had planned their day to be completely relaxed and chilled out so opted for a marquee style wedding in the huge garden of a lovely little pub. When I arrived nice and early in the morning Phil was there with his friends getting the place ready. People were sweeping, blowing up balloons, putting the chairs out for the ceremony. The outdoor bar area where the ceremony was to take place was awesome, so cool and rustic looking!

After spending some time shooting the preparation I dashed off to a nearby hotel where Rene was getting ready with her bridesmaids. As soon as the door opened I was greeted with a beaming smile.. I knew the day was going to be perfect!

Ash & Alex share their wedding day love at Old Albanians RFC in St Albans, Hertfordshire

" Thank you so much for all you did on our special day and for being friendly and up for a laugh! People kept commenting afterwards how subtle you were with the photography and how they loved the non-obtrusive style - just what we wanted! Can’t wait to properly look through all the photos  thanks so much again! "

After having a FaceTime chat with Ash & Alex a few months before their big day I knew they were going to be a cool couple to photograph and their wedding day would be full of fun...I was proved right, what an amazing wedding! I met up with Alex at the Queens Head pub in St Albans which very handily was positioned right outside St Leonards church where the ceremony was happening. After the service and awesome confetti shots we then jumped in our cars and popped over to the Old Albanian RFC just ten minutes down the road for the reception and evening shenanigans. The guests couldn't fail to be entertained with crazy golf and games of poker to enjoy plus it meant loads of things for me to photograph, just how I like it! Ash and Alex were so friendly and made me feel part of the gang so a big thank you to you both! 

Becky & Harry - Super Relaxed Documentary Wedding at Hampton Manor in Hampton in Arden

We’re extremely pleased with the photos, they’re exactly what we were after!. We’ll not hesitate to recommend you in our friendship group!

A hot summers day combined with a super cool couple made for one heck of a great wedding! It was my first time shooting at Hampton Manor in Hampton-in-Arden and I hope it won't be my last. Bridal prep took place in one of the stunning bedrooms at the hotel. The huge windows were perfect for capturing great candid shots of Becky and the girls getting ready. Harry was a stones throw away at the White Lion pub across the road. There were so many great spots around the venue for couple shots including a very rustic greenhouse and barn! Becky and Harry were perfect to work with and happy to go with the flow and let me do my thing! I was so lucky that their family and friends that attended this awesome wedding were full of fun and character. Theres always great documentary shots to be had if the guests are up for the party! Thanks to you both and best of luck for the future! 

Anjna & Robbie - Sunny Summer wedding at Orchardleigh Walled Garden in Frome

Wow what a scorcher of a day it was when Anjna & Robbie got hitched at the amazing Orchardleigh Walled Garden in Frome ! The day contained elements of Indian tradition, amazing colours, blue skies, crazy dancing and tears of joy.. all the ingredients needed for a great wedding! My style is to look for and capture the candid moments that are gone in a blink of an eye, thankfully there were so many during Anjna & Robbies wedding I was spoilt for choice. Congratulations to you both! 

Becky & Daff celebrate their wedding in style at Stone Barn in the Cotswolds

" We loved the photos and of course had trouble choosing our favourites! We loved how unobtrusive and easy to work with you were on the day and how quickly you managed to send us our photos. We have already sent them out to all our family and friends to enjoy too!

Thank you again "

After photographing Becky and Daff on their pre wedding shoot a couple of months ago I couldn't wait to shoot their wedding at the awesome Stone Barn wedding venue in the Cotswolds. Bridal pre was at Bourton on the Water, a delightful chocolate box village just outside Cheltenham. It was certainly a wedding I won't forget in a while, the main reason being I've never seen a bride and groom grab their guitars and entertain the guests by rocking out a few tunes..Amazing!! :-)

Beth and Charles Winter Wonderland Wedding at Nuthurst Grange Hotel, Warwickshire

" We used Kevin for our winter wedding in December and have just got our photos back from him. We are absolutely blown away by all of the photos and the little moments that we missed  that he managed to capture. Kevin was a complete professional all day and nothing was too much trouble for him. We will truly cherish the pictures he took forever. Cannot recommend enough!! " Beth & Charles

I love winter weddings, there's something very magical about getting hitched when there's snow on the ground. Beth and Charles chose Nuthurst Grange Country House Hotel in Warwickshire to celebrate their big day. After arriving nice and early to have a good look around the grounds I soon discovered that I couldn't feel my fingers! The winter months provide so many great opportunities for pictures as well as a few challenges such as freezing body parts! :-)

Beth and Charles were looking for lots of candid, reportage shots showing their friends and family having fun. I'm not a photographer that takes many stilted staged pictures so that was music to my ears! I'm all about capturing the natural, fun moments at weddings!

Whenever theres snow on the ground I immediately see it in black and white. I love the tones of a wintery black and white image so this cold December wedding was perfect for this! Beth and Charles were amazing on the day, one of my favourite couples of the year! Beth has my full respect for taking off her cape in freezing temperatures so we could get some pic of her dress, she's one tough cookie! :-)

Alice and Alex - English Country Garden Wedding in the Chocolate Box Cotswold Village of Burford

Last summer the gorgeous chocolate box village of Burford located on the edge of the Cotswolds and West Oxfordshire played host to the wedding of Alice and Alex! A marquee was erected in the back garden of Alices mum house with the plan to have the actual wedding ceremony outside in the garden, Due to the unpredictable British summer and a heavy downpour the ceremony was moved into the marque. It didn't make any difference at all to the atmosphere and mood as everyone was too busy having a good time to notice the change!

The day was so relaxed, full of joy and happiness, it felt more like one big party than a wedding! I love weddings like this where everyone is in one location. Instead of thinking about driving and the logistics of getting to different venues they can concentrate on just enjoying the occasion! Despite the rain on the day there was plenty of scope for pictures..we just had to be quick! :-)

Vered & Lewis - Outdoor Jewish Wedding Ceremony at Slaugham Place, East Sussex

This summer I was lucky enough to photograph the amazing jewish wedding of Vered and Lewis at the incredible Slaugham Place in East Sussex.  A setting like no other, Slaugham Place has a real sense of history and romance about it. With the sun beating down everything was perfect for Vered & Lewis to get hitched! Jewish weddings are energetic, fun and colourful occasions full of love and togetherness. After completing the traditional Jewish wedding ceremony which included the breaking of the glass by Lewis it was then onto the crazy dancing in the marquee!  There's only one word for it...wow! If you're taking part it will leave you totally exhausted after being thrown, spun and bounced around! I didn't know which way to turn, on my left was Lewis being thrown in the air and on my right was Vered doing a spot of skipping! haha ...An amazing wedding which I will remember always as being such good fun! Congratulations to you both!! 

Carrie-Anne & Doms alternative vintage wedding at the Electric Cinema, Birmingham

Carrie-Anne & Dom decided to get hitched last month at the Electric Cinema!. This is the oldest cinema in the UK and located in the centre of Birmingham! Wow what a funky, retro and alternative wedding venue! It was my first wedding in a cinema and loved it. Carrie-Anne wore a gorgeous vintage wedding dress by Lindy Bop and looked every inch the stunning, stylish bride! It was quite surreal to be shooting on the cinema stage looking out at the guests all comfy in their cinema seats! 

We made use of as much of the cinema as possible including the projector room and wallpaper from the Great Gatsby movie! From here we walked the short distance to Cherry Reds cafe for the chilled out reception. Carrie-Anne and Dom were not particularly interested in posed group shots instead wanting lots of candid, documentary pics of their guests enjoying themselves. It was such a cool and relaxed wedding, just the way I like them! 

Kim & Pete - Fun English Country Garden Wedding In Newport Pagnell

I arrived at Kim's parents home in Newport Pagnell near Milton Keynes to start the bridal prep and was instantly met by huge smiles and made to feel like part of the family. I knew straight away that this was my type of wedding!! Kim & Pete made it clear to me they wanted natural, fun, candid photos that focussed on not just them but much more on their friends and family kicking back and relaxing!  

I shoot tons of weddings every year but it's safe to say that this was right up there as one of the most relaxed. Kim & Pete made it their own with the wedding reception held in a marque in Pete's parents back garden that included everything from skipping ropes, a kids entertainer, hoola hooping, trampoline as well as fish and chips! With no speeches, sit down meal, official first dance or group shots it felt like a massive summer party! Congratulations to you both and thanks for making me feel so welcome! :-)

Lisa & Dans Documentary Style Wedding at Hanbury Manor, Ware

Friday 13th isn't a traditional wedding date but it didn't phase Lisa and Dan as they kicked off their married life in style at Hanbury Manor, Ware. Having tied the knot at the amazing All Saints church in Hertford myself and my assistant Lola then spent the wedding reception at Hanbury Manor.

Lisa and Dan booked me as they love my natural documentary style which is what I specialise in. They weren't particularly interested in endless streams of group pictures but instead for me to focus on relaxed, creative pictures of their loved ones kicking back and having fun! Music to my ears! :-) I couldn't have wished for a more chilled out couple to work with. We even got to have a little ride on a golf buggy as we made our way down to the lake to grab a shot that Lisa REALLY wanted! The sky was almost black but with just a small amount of sunset to work with I captured my favourite pic of the day!! Thanks again for choosing me to be a part of your special day! 

Donna & Vikesh - Colourful Indian Wedding at Merchant Taylors Hall, London

This summer I was lucky enough to photograph the awesome Indian wedding celebrations between Donna & Vikesh at the impressive Merchant Taylors Hall in the centre of London. After shooting Vikesh and his groomsmen get ready at The Grange hotel overlooking St Paul's cathedral the rest of the day was spent at Merchant Taylors Hall.  A wedding day full of colour, love and laughter providing so many great picture opportunities and memories!! Congratulations to Donna & Vikesh!!
