Marilyn and John were married on 24th March 2009 at Shendish Manor near Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. They have been together for 21 years and so I wish them many more years of happiness. Although there were doubts about the weather it turned out to be a gloriuos day. They chose me to shoot their wedding photography through a recommendation from their close friends Ron and Sue, whose wedding I photographed the previous March in Chenies Buckinghamshire.

Kate and Sam were married at Knebworth Barns, Knebworth House, Hertfordshire in early April. They were married by civil ceremony a day or two before and so had a beautiful wedding blessing with all their friends and family to celebrate. Many of their close friends had flown in from all over the world to be with them on this special occasion. I loved shooting their wedding photography, they had so much planned and their were so many details to photograph. Friends baked lots of cupcakes for their wedding cake and the floral arrangements (also made by friends) were just amazing.  All through this wedding I shot natural guest images but Sam’s best man kept catching me out!

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.

Jane and Tomasz had a lovely intimate wedding in bucks. I have shot the photography for  many weddings and I can honestly say that I think Tomasz is the most nervous Groom I have ever come across.

I took Lisa & Paul’s photography at Moor Park Mansion last autumn. Lisa looked stunning in her gorgous wedding dress and Moor Park is a visually stunning venue, located in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire.

Lizzie & Richard were married on a stunning day in August. Lizzie had a fabulous dress that reminded me of an outfit Ginger Rogers might wear in the traditional old musical movies from the 40’s or 50’s. I’m so glad they chose me to capture their wedding day. So much care and attention went into all the details and so it was truly lovely to photograph. Redcoats is a great location for those that want some special imagery of their wedding day. It has fantastic traditional rooms with original beams and lovely gardens. Redcoats is also surrounded by beautiful English countryside and it has an amazing barn next door which I couldn’t resist using in some of the wedding photography.
