Jenny and Neil were married at St Peters Church, Cranbourne and the reception was at Lillibrooke Manor, Berkshire. I loved Jennys vintage inspired wedding dress (Sassi Holford) and the vintage flowers. The reception venue was dressed in a country theme with lots of home grown flowers. Jenny’s Mum had been busy all year growing them in her greenhouse!

Jenny is an art teacher and painted the table plan! The table plan was miniature canvas’s of places they had visited.

On the way to the venue, we stopped of at Waltham Place gardens, for some ‘romantic’ photographs of the couple. A big thank you to Waltham Place for your kind permission allowing this. We spent some time doing the photographs of the two of them. Neil, while a good looking chap, is rather camera shy and it took some time to relax him!

The guests and ourselves enjoyed an excellent meal by the Complete Catering Company. We were able to capture more photographs of their friends, the wedding had over 120 guests, as the couple have lots of friends.

After dinner there was the most amazing light, so I persuaded Jenny and Neil to go for a short walk to get some more photographs of the two of them.

Our coverage of their day ended with a fun first dance, Jenny told me she loves to dance. Neil was nervous about the first dance but the guests loved it.

Thank you for all your hard work with this. I am really over the moon with your photographs!

it took many hands to button Jenny up!

Neil photographed much better naturally when he wasn’t aware of the camera

Alice and Brad got married at St Peter and Pauls church in West Clandon. We photographed Alice’s sister’s wedding there last autumn. We set up a confetti shot outside the church. When I was looking through the photographs, I noticed Alice had the same expression as Emma! Not many brides look up when confetti is being thrown!

The vicar mentioned that he loved an Anderson wedding because of the music, I love the details from an Anderson wedding. In the morning I photograph the dresses and the jewellery. The bridesmaids shoes were dyed to match the dresses, giving them a vintage look. Alice’s dress was customised with a Jenny Packham motif. I noticed that Alice’s ring was particularly shiny; this was achieved by soaking it in gin!

The marquee looked stunning, with purple flowers and fairy lights.

Caroline and Oliver married at St Peter and St Paul, Longbridge Deverill. The reception was held in the barn at Hill Devil Manor, with a beautiful lake setting. The weather was unusually cold for May but Caroline and Oliver braved the weather for the wedding photographs.

Caroline had a beautiful vintage wedding theme, with vintage inspired flowers and accessories. The wedding dress was designed by Sassi Holford. I so loved the wedding dress, I know I say that every week!

The band, Madhen were funky and quite different to most wedding bands. They certainly got the party going!

Thank you Julie – they look fantastic!

Rachel and Sam got married in the family’s church of St Andrews, Letcombe Regis. The reception was at the nearby Ardington House, Oxfordshire. I must admit I’d wanted to photograph a wedding at Ardington House, as we had such fun photographing our first civil partnership there. It’s also only 20 minutes drive from where we live, we travel all over the south, so it’s rare for us to work locally.

We’ve recently upgraded our camera’s, so we were able to photograph the first dance without flash, certainly capturing the atmosphere and discreetly too!

I love the vintage inspired flowers this year and Rachel’s Sopia Tolli wedding dress.

We absolutely love the pictures from our wedding and cant stop looking at the disc

We quickly did all the photographs before it rained
