Last weekend it finally started to feel like spring, which made Sunday morning a very pleasant time to be wandering around Winchester with Serena and Dale for their engagement shoot. They are getting married in June at All Saints church in Dogmersfield in June, with their reception at the wonderful Elvetham Hotel, so it should be a great day. Here are a few shots from our walk in Winchester last Sunday.
Here’s something a little different for this blog! A few weeks ago, I was at the latest White Collar Boxing London event – The Contender. This was the first time I’ve been to a live boxing event, let alone photographed one, so it was quite a challenge but a lot of fun at the same time. Here are a few of my favourites from the shots I captured.
Charlotte and Luke are getting married in June and we met in London, a couple of weeks before Christmas, for their engagement photo shoot. Considering the weather we’ve been having recently, we were lucky on the day and were able to enjoy a nice walk along the south bank in the late afternoon sun. After crossing Millenium Bridge, we finished near St Pauls, as the light faded. It was a fun afternoon and I’m looking forward to photographing Charlotte and Luke again on their big day in June. Here are a few of my favourites shots.
Love the Southbank, do lots of engagement shoots there myself – in the same places – those steps are always too busy when I’m there though – good work!
Yes it is a great location for them David, but is usually pretty crowded – especially in the summer. Cheers, Ian.
Liz and Jason were married at Highfield Park on a chilly but mostly dry day in November. They prefer natural photographs, so this wedding was shot mostly in a documentary style, with just a few formal portraits. The day started at home with Liz getting ready along with her parents, bridesmaids and some friends. Everyone was very relaxed and looking forward to the day. Then it was off to Highfield park, where Jason was making his final preparations at the venue. A lovely ceremony was followed by drinks in the bar, while the fantastic entertainment that Liz and Jason had arranged for their guests was being prepared for the evening celebrations. A marquee at the back of the hotel was done out like a fair ground, with arcade games, coconut shy, hooplar, darts and shooting galleries. There was also candy floss, a photo booth and cocktail bar, with juggling waiters and all the tables were well stocked with bottled beer. Evening guests were greeted by a fire performer and a lady on stilts at the front of the hotel and entertainment was provided later by the excellent live band The Tzars.
It really was a wonderful day, a little bit different and great fun to be there to capture the photos. Here is a small selection of shots from the day.
The last Saturday in October saw Sally and I back in Kent for another family wedding, this time it was the turn of our niece Sarah, who married Mike at The Manor Gate House in Dartford. After the ceremony and a few photos in the pretty, but very cold gardens, it was off to Gravesend for the reception and evening party. It was a lovely day, spent with family and everyone had a great time. Here are a few shots from the day.
