Wokefield Park Weddings 083 Wedding photography at Wokefield Park, Berkshire Jenn and Nick

Many congratulations to Jenn and Nick who recently got married at St Mary’s Church in Burghfield followed by a reception at Wokefield Park. And it was great to be local for a change at a venue and church I know really well.

Below are some more favourites from the day which started with some shots of Jenn at her parents’ home. Then a short drive to St Mary’s for the ceremony and finally on to Wokefield for the reception. A nice, relaxed and informal day all round which had an international feel with Nick’s family over from my favourite part of Italy, Puglia.

As well as below you can see the complete set by clicking here Just remember the password which is Jenn’s surname followed by Nick’s, all lower case with no gaps. Please feel free to add any comments below, enjoy !

313 Jane and Peters wedding at The Bird in Hand

 

Here’s some favourite images from Jane and Peter’s recent wedding.

It couldn’t get any closer for me with the church, St Peters, across the road from my studio. And then it was a short 10 minute drive to the reception at The Bird in Hand in Knowl Hill. I wish all my weddings were this close !

This was a lovely informal wedding and once again we were blessed with the most fantastic weather. Below are some favourites and of course the complete set can be viewed by clicking here You will need a password which is Jane’s surname followed by Peter’s, all lower case with no gaps.

Many congratulations to Michala and Dave who got married at one of my favourite local wedding venues – Silchester House in Berks.

It was great to be back after the quieter winter months and was my first wedding since my Australian one early December. And what glorious spring weather we had !

Normally the bride and groom are the stars for the day but I think you’ll agree that little Oliver, their 2 year old son, stole the limelight as you can see from the images below !

A big thanks to my friend and fellow wedding photographer Simon Kemp for coming along and helping out. In fact Simon was on standby as I had just returned from overseas.  You never know these days if you’ll be stranded abroad due to British Airways strikes or Icelandic volcanoes, so no chances taken and thanks again Simon.

This was a really lovely and relaxed wedding, a perfect start to 2011. So thank you Michala, Dave and your families for being so cooperative and making me and Simon so very welcome.

 

Below are some favourites and you can also see the complete set by clicking here You’ll need a password which is Michala’s surname followed by Dave’s, all lower case with no gaps.

Here’s another set from one of my popular engagement sessions which I offer to all my wedding couples.

I’ll be doing Jennifer and Nick’s wedding photography at Wokefield Park in June this year. Not long to go now !

As you can see they were complete naturals in front of the camera and I didn’t really have to direct them. So this bodes well for their big day. And because of the decent weather we managed to pop outside for a few shots in the adjoining alleyway. I’d also like to thank the local graffiti artists for providing me with an interesting backdrop, even though we’ve complained to the local council to get it cleaned up.

This will be my last post before I take a short skiing break in Austria. Immediately after this I’ll be off to Warsaw to meet my good friends at Whitesmoke, Dorota and Michal, and to attend a seminar by a very well known American wedding photographer, Anna Kuperberg. So lots to look forward to before I return to hit the ground running with one wedding the end of this month followed by 4 in April. Spring is in the air and the wedding season is upon us, bring it on !

Below are some more favourites from Jennifer and Nick’s session so please feel free to add comments (nice ones only please icon biggrin Berkshire engagement photography )

Here’s some favourite images from Katja and Tony’s pre wedding shoot.

I’ll be doing their wedding photography at Nonsuch Mansion this April and as with all of my couples I offer a complementary session before their big day. This is very popular and definitely makes a positive difference on the wedding day itself.

Anyway today we braved the freezing weather and took some shots just around the corner from my studio. I’m still amazed how Tony managed it wearing just a thin jacket but he was quite happy to go ahead despite my warm studio !

Sir Christopher Wren Wedding 054 Abigail and Robs wedding at Sir Christopher Wren in Windsor

Slightly later than usual here’s the highlights from Abi and Rob’s wedding at The Sir Christopher Wren Hotel in Windsor. Later than usual because the day after their wedding I was burgled with ALL of my camera gear taken. Fortunately, as with all my weddings I keep the memory cards seperate and download them straight away to my laptop which is kept elsewhere. Not only that but the images are stored at high res online.

Anyway enough of my woes as I’m now back up and running. So many congratulations to Abi and Rob who had a lovely intimate wedding despite the cold grey day, something they are not used to in Melbourne ! It was great to meet up again with Abi’s family as I did her sister Sarah’s wedding a few years ago at the same venue. Here are some favourites from the day below and of course the complete set can be seen here. You’ll need a password which can be obtained from Abi and Rob. Enjoy !

Many congratulations to Gerry and Rich who tied the knot at one of my favourite wedding venues, Monkey Island in Bray. I love working outdoors not only for the nice light but also having more freedom to move around. So it was great to have the actual ceremony on the lawn right next to the river. This was followed by the reception at the back of the building with some excellent speeches and lots of tears and laughter ! And then the evening disco was one of the liveliest I seen for a while. I enjoyed it so much I stayed on shooting beyond the agreed finish time !

The complete set is now ready here The password is Gerry’s surname only (the one before she married) Also below are some of my favourites. Gerry and Rich like the vintage colour look and posing done by some American photographers and which is becoming more popular here. They asked if I could do similar. I’m always up for a challenge so you can see some of my attempts here. Please feel free to add any comments. Enjoy !

Congratulations to Anna and Kong who tied the knot at The Guild Hall in Windsor followed by a reception at The Olde Bell in Hurley.

Here are some favourites from the day which started with prep shots at Anna’s home. And then it was on to the Guild Hall for the ceremony which provides manygreat photo opportunities. After the ceremony Anna and Kong wanted a few shots around the crowded streets of Windsor just like we did with their engagement photos. This was quite a challenge but great fun to do.

And then finally on to The Olde Bell for a relaxed and intimate reception. I must mention the superb food including 3 suckling pigs (not a good sight for vegetarians) and also the Chinese lion ceremony at the end. The lovely, soothing background music was by the pianist Tom Green who I later discovered is a recent portrait client of mine. Small world !

The complete set is also now ready which you can see by clicking here Please contact Anna or Kong for the password.
