Scott and Kanta had a Hare Krishna wedding ceremony at Bhaktivedana Manor in Aldenham, near Watford, Hertfordshire. I was fortunate enough to shoot their wedding photography.

This was such a great wedding to photograph. One of my favourites definitely because it was full of colour and interesting details. Lots to photograph! I try to shoot everything in natural light because I believe it preserves the true ambience of the wedding. I find flash can be a real atmospere killer. I photographed some fantastic imagery of the fire and so preserved the warmth of this light on the surroundings.

Church: Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady Help of Christians, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire.

Reception: Bushey Hall Golf Club, Bushey, Hertfordshire.

Neil and Laura held their wedding on a cold but clear October day. Laura looked gorgeous in her wedding dress. There were many really emotional moments throughout the day but especially during the speeches. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the building after Neil made his speech, letting everyone know just how precious Laura is to him.

I have some amazing photographs of this special day and I know that Oscar & Fatem’s album will bring back all the wonderful memories from their wedding day.

The Kiss

On a sunny day in March I travelled to Chenies in Buckinghamshire to photograph the wedding of Ron and Sue. They had quite an interesting story because although they had been together a number of years, this was the their second time together. After their first relationship ended they had met each other a number of years later and got together again. It was such a lovely story.

I was also surprised to see the same registrar that had conducted Lucie and Marco’s wedding. Although wedding photographers often meet the same registrars and priests etc at their regular shooting venues it is quite unusual to see them covering different geographical areas.

I love the symmetry in this image and the texture of the tree bark

I shot a sequence of these tree images and they work so well together

Lucie and Marco held their civil wedding ceremony at Spring Cottage, Cliveden House, Berkshire. Cliveden House is a spectacular location which is owned by the National Trust and Spring Cottage (part of the Cliveden estate) is situated on the River Thames.

Lucie and Marco’s wedding celebration is the smallest and most intimate wedding that I have ever photographed. There were four people in total including the Bride and Groom. They were both Italian and so two close friends had flown over from Italy to participate in their celebration. I found myself racing against sunset as this was a winter wedding and sunset is about 4pm. The light just before sunset is a favourite of mine as it is so warm and soft. I shot some gorgeus wedding photography using this light.
