JAMES & NATASHA'S WEDDING AT JIMMY'S FARM

Jimmys Farm Wedding Photographer-134.jpg

The first wedding of my 2020 season was the rustic themed Spring wedding of James and Natasha at Jimmy’s Farm set in the Suffolk countryside. As a recommended supplier of Jimmy’s Farm, it was a great wedding to kickstart my year. Jimmy’s Farm is a fantastic alternative wedding venue set in an old working farm and thriving woodlands. The first part of James and Natasha’s wedding took place in the celebration tent which is nestled amongst a landscaped herb garden.

After the civil ceremony, James and Natasha took a short stroll to the eco Roundhouse accompanied by their wedding party to say their wedding vows and sign the official marriage register. After which they returned to the celebration tent for a blessing.

Reception drinks and canapes were served in the celebration tent. James and Natasha took a brief stroll through the grounds for some intimate relaxed photos before rejoining the guests for drinks.

Before heading to the barn for dinner, James and Natasha cut their wedding cake in the celebration tent and the guests were given an hour to roam around the farm to spend time with the animals.

Dinner took place in the 18th century barn and the food was amazing!

After dinner, the guests played a pretty funny game of Mr and Mrs, before hitting the dancefloor and taking part in a sparkler exit for James and Natasha. It was such a great wedding to kick off my season. Congrats again to James and Natasha, thank you to Jimmy’s Farm for being such awesome hosts!

ROSS & KERI'S SWYNFORD MANOR WEDDING

Keri & Ross-247.jpg

Back in October, I returned to Cambridgeshire to photograph Ross and Keri’s Autumn wedding at Swynford Manor. The weather was a bit temperamental that day as it rained on and off, but that didn’t spoil a thing. They made the most of the day in the company of their close friends and family.

Once ready, Keri’s father walked her downstairs to the ceremony room where guests eagerly awaited her entrance. We did take the time to admire the stunning floristry skills of Feather and Ferns who are based in Cambridge.

The fabulous team at Swynford Manor helped me organise the guests on to the grand staircase so that we could pull off a fun confetti moment that involved everyone.

The reception room looked stunning, dressed in classic black and white with autumn florals creatively brought together by florist Feather and Ferns and luxury wedding stylist Lulabelles.

After dinner, we popped outside for a few night time portraits and sparklers.

After sparklers, all the guests headed back into the Manor to watch Ross and Keri cut the cake and for their first dance.

Thank you Keri and Ross for choosing me to capture your wedding day.

CARLA & EGON'S GREAT BARN WEDDING

Great Barn Ruislip Wedding Photographer-1.jpg

Carla and Egon’s summer wedding at The Great Barn in Ruislip was one of eight weddings that I photographed during August. It was a wonderfully relaxed and fun affair at a quaint rustic barn venue in North West London. Teresa and I started off the day capturing the final stages of Carla and Egon getting ready in the company of close family.

Once everyone was ready and looking fabulous, we drove to The Great Barn in Ruislip for the ceremony.

After the ceremony, the guests joined Carla and Egon out in the courtyard for drinks. We all ducked back into the barn when the rain arrived and settled in for speeches and street food dished up by Soho Pizza, Little Nicky’s Kitchen Company and Smokey Mac BBQ.

After dinner, we headed out to catch the end of golden hour.

After sunset, the guests gathered around the dance floor inside the barn to cheer on Carla and Egon for their first dance as Mr & Mrs, and then promptly joined them on the dance floor along with live band Signature.

Thank you Carla and Egon for having Teresa and I capture your wedding day.

DILYS & PHIL'S WEDDING THAT AMAZING PLACE

Dilys & Phil-392.jpg

Today I am taking you back to Dilys and Phil’s fusion summer wedding at That Amazing Place. I had the most brilliant day with the most smiley and giggly couple I think I have ever met. When they smiled, I smiled. It was deliciously infectious. Dilys and Phil got ready at The Amazing Place in the company of close friends and family. Their ceremony took place outdoors by the lake which made a perfect backdrop.

Dinner took place in the marquee on the lawns, but not before Dilys and Phil danced into the venue following the bridal and groom’s party who weren’t afraid to show us their dance moves. After the speeches, Dilys decided to throw her bouquet outside and the women didn’t disappoint when it came to racing for the bouquet. As the evening drew in, the guests moved into the main house and hit the dancefloor. Dilys and Phil changed into traditional African dress during the evening and rejoined the dancefloor looking absolutely superb.

Thank you Dilys and Phil for having Teri and I capture your day, we felt honoured and you have left us with lasting memories that we will cherish.

Old-Brook-Barn-Wedding-Photographer-3.jpg

The tranquil Old Brook Barn set in the Essex countryside is a beautiful setting for a wedding. Embracing a Autumnal rustic colour theme, Katy and Tim held their ceremony and reception at the barn. Katy got ready at the cottage next to the barn in the company of close family and bridesmaids.

After the ceremony, Katy and Tim made the most of the weather and headed out in the gardens for confetti and drinks.

Speeches took place after dinner, followed by cake cutting and the a whole lot of fun on the dancefloor.

LISA & RICK'S MOOR HALL WEDDING

Lisa & Rick-615.jpg

Lisa and Ricky were so much fun to spend a day with, and their wedding guests were an absolute hoot too! Their wedding ceremony took place at St Andrew’s Church in Hornchurch Essex which is beautiful. My approach to photographing weddings focuses heavily on a documentary style, therefore capturing things as they happen coupled with photographing the details that make your day unique to you. This is very much the approach I took on Lisa and Ricky’s day and I loved every minute.

After the wedding ceremony, we headed to one of my favourite alternative Essex wedding venues, Moor Hall in Aveley for a lively wedding reception. We had an absolute blast especially when the party kicked off in the evening.

JEN & TOM'S OLD LUXTERS BARN WEDDING

Tom & Jen-587.jpg

I started the day at Danesfield House Spa in Marlow for Jen’s bridal prep ahead of this Old Luxters Barn Wedding. In keeping with the autumnal feel, the bridesmaids wore beautiful wine colour dresses. Jen’s bridal gown made by Grace Phillips was perfect for the season too and had pockets! Got to love a dress with pockets! The ceremony and reception took place in rustic Old Luxters Barn nestled in the grounds of Chiltern Valley Winery in Oxfordshire. The lit fairly lights draped from the ceiling beams make the barn very pretty. It was a beautiful place for a wedding. Big thank you to Jen and Tom for trusting us to capture their amazing day.

Katie and Scott’s winter Cooling Castle Wedding was one to remember. This was my second visit to Cooling Castle in Kent. The first wedding I shot there was days after a heavy snow fall that closed a lot of surrounding roads. Fortunately, I was able to leave the snow shovel at home for Katie and Scott’s wedding day. Instead we were treated to beautiful blue skies and sunshine.

In and Out Club London Wedding Photographer-180.jpg

This is Kath and Jim. And this is their winter wedding at The In and Out, Naval & Military Club in the heart of London’s St. James’s Square. Kath and Jim’s wedding was my last of the year. Another whopping 38 awesome weddings photographed in 2019! Kath and Jim were guests at Mel and Phil’s wedding last December. Ten months later, it was their turn to get wed and make some cracking memories in the process.

We didn’t let the rain deter the day. Confetti was thrown indoors during the drinks reception, and the images were absolutely perfect capturing the fun and joy of the moment.

Dinner was held in the ornate Coffee Room after dark.

After dinner, the party moved to the ground floor for drinks and dancing.

CHRIS & LEI'S NORFOLK WEDDING

The Barn at Woodlands Norfolk Wedding Photographer_0860.jpg

This is the gorgeous sunkissed June wedding of Chris and Lei, who got married last weekend in Norfolk. The reception was held at The Barn at Woodlands in Norfolk. We were treated to glorious weather all day and had a whole lot of fun in the company of Chris and Lei’s family and friends. Here you go, check it out.

Chris and Lei’s ceremony was held at St Stephen’s Church in Norwich with family and friends who had travelled across the globe to be there. Talk about commitment!

After a whole lot of confetti throwing, the guests hopped on the buses, equipped with gin and hula hoops, to the reception venue at Woodlands Farm in Stokesby. We even got to pass over the Norfolk Broads on the journey. The reception drinks were held in the sunny gardens of the farm.

The barn was beautifully decorated with tokens to Chris and Lei’s travels. We made the most of the stunning golden hour taking Chris and Lei on a wander around the gardens at the end the day.

EMILY & LUKE'S CHENIES MANOR HOUSE WEDDING

Chenies Manor House Wedding Photographer_0168.jpg

Emily and Luke’s wedding was an absolute cracker. The people, the locations, the weather and the dancefloor action was on another level! I struggled with choosing images for this particular blog. I had too many favourites. Each image evoked a particular memory or emotion. Although, some might argue that this was a good problem to have, especially as I was smiling all the way through putting this wedding together. I hope my choices have done this wedding justice!

The marriage service was held at the Emmanuel Church in Middlesex, led by Johnny the Vicar a good friend to both Emily and Luke. Johnny was an absolute dream to work with. We felt very lucky to have Johnny’s company all afternoon as he took on the role of Master of Ceremonies with a trendy style and grace.

After a cake buffet at the church, we all headed to Chenies Manor House in Buckinghamshire for the wedding reception. It’s a stunning luxury wedding venue set in quite an idyllic part of the countryside. There was so much to explore and as we were treated to full sunshine all day, we were able to make the most of it. The speeches during dinner had everyone in hysterics. The animated dancefloor action with the help of the live band, rounded off the day perfectly.

COMBERMERE ABBEY WEDDING

Combermere Abbey! What an incredible place for a wedding. This wedding venue is nestled in the rural borders of Cheshire and Shropshire in the Northwest of England. This place is a real treat! I took another road trip to Shropshire to shoot the wedding of Kathryn and Jack along side my best buddy Teresa. My main job was to focus on the groom and assist capturing the day in my usual documentary style. Anyway, that is enough chatter. Here are some highlights!

The Baronial Barn was seasonally dressed with plenty of golden fairy lights and a huge beautifully dressed Christmas tree, plus the couples love for North London football team Tottenham Hotspurs was incorporated into the day too.

MIKE & STEPH'S ESSEX BARN WEDDING

Essex Barn Upminster Wedding Photographer-210.jpg

I am taking you back to the summer for Mike and Steph’s wedding at The Broadfields Essex Barn in Upminster. Prosecco, miniature ponies, a bright red MG, confetti, sunset, smokebombs and sparklers….that just about sums up their day!

Mike and Steph got married at Church of St Laurence in Upminster, which has a pretty cool history dating back to the 14th century.

After the ceremony, we had time for confetti and some portraits whilst the guests jumped on the double decker bus to the reception venue. Mike and Steph drove themselves in a kick ass red MG, after being coerced into photographs with some miniature ponies who just happened to be outside of the church.

Essex Barn Wedding Reception
After the short journey through Upminster on the double decker bus, the guests were dropped at the Broadfield Essex Barn nestled in the woodlands of Thames Chase to kick off the afternoon reception. Dinner, speeches and a whole lot of prosecco ran into the early evening.

After dinner we headed back outside of the barn for a little walk and some relaxed photos. The guests hit the photobooth in the beautiful cute form of Winnie the Vintage Caravan. Just before sunset, cutting of the cake took place outdoors and then we all hit the dancefloor. We ended the evening with colourful smoke bombs, sparklers and a pretty cool sunset.

MEL + PHIL'S CLISSOLD HOUSE WEDDING

Clissold-House-Wedding-Photographer_0036.jpg

I had a full December of winter weddings. All were completely different and amazing. First up, I was back in Stoke Newington for Mel and Phil’s London wedding at Clissold House. #melwedsphil These guys need to be my neighbours. There, I have said it. Not even sorry. They had me at “there will be lots of cheese”.

In the evening we headed over to the West Reservoir Centre for speeches, vodka, thai food, cheese and epic dancing. Hats off to those guests who tore up that dancefloor. You know who you are. Absolute legends. A mention has to go to Mark Daly Events who was Mel and Phil’s wedding planner. I am in complete awe of his skills and he is so lovely, a joy to work. Here are some of my favourite photos of the day. Enjoy!

CARLY & JIM'S SANTORINI WEDDING

Santorini Destination Wedding Photographer-180.jpg

Earlier this year, I photographed two destination weddings in Santorini with Teresa Cunningham during the same week. That is excellent scheduling by our couples! First up was Carly and Jim who opted for an intimate wedding with friends and family at Dana Villas. We worked alongside Manchester based videographer In Love Wedding Films who complimented our relaxed candid style of photography. So it was a wonderful team all round!

Below, I have shared some of my favourite photographs from Carly and Jim’s destination Santorini Wedding, although as usual it wasn’t easy to narrow down. I love each photograph for different reasons. My contribution was heavily documentary with the help of my trusted Fuji XT2.

Teresa and I have shot weddings across the UK and Europe for nearly six years now. The terms primary shooter and second shooter doesn’t really accurately define how we work. It suggests that one is more important than the other. And that isn’t right at all. It’s more like two halves of a whole. For those of you that have met and seen me in action working alongside Teresa and Jay, you will understand what I mean. And the same goes for Helen and Rhianna who work with me too at Essex weddings. We absolutely get a kick out of catching those in-between moments, the laughter, the tears, the jokes (some more appropriate than others), the feelgood moments, the breathtaking moments and the jaw dropping moments. This is when the value of having two of us shooting your wedding is off the scale. I can say in all honesty that we are proud to do it.

Have a look for yourself. See what my view of Carly and Jim’s wedding as a “second” shooter looks like. Check out that rich Santorini sunset that we were treated to. What a corker!

AMY & JOHN'S STOKE NEWINGTON TOWN HALL WEDDING

Amy and John’s wedding at Stoke Newington Town Hall was an affair to remember. There is something awesome about London in the summer. The day started at the Rose and Crown pub were Amy and John got ready. Then we headed across the road to Stoke Newington Town Hall, full of art deco character, for their ceremony.

After the ceremony we skipped over to Clissold Park for their family photos and a short stroll before settling down in the quirky The Old Church for dinner and dancing. Enjoy some highlights from their day.
