Jenny and Luke’s Goodwood House wedding photography

I couldn’t think of a more beautiful couple for a more beautiful venue. Jenny and Luke’s Goodwood House wedding photography was an absolute joy. A bit of early spring sunshine was most welcome and did it’s bit to help the day along. Goodwood House is not only stunning but also one of the best run wedding venues I’ve had the pleasure of photographing at – the staff there are incredible professional but also have a great sense of humour and ease, making everything seem effortless. I met up with Jenny and Luke the day before and the weather was grey, chilly and threatening rain. What a difference a day makes – a little bit of spring sunshine and the day just glowed. Come on weather, lets have a lot more sun this year! Special mention has to go to Ollie the pageboy who braved the bridal preparations, wore a tie and smiled from start to finish. Good work fella. Jenny looked stunning throughout and Luke, as a barrister, gave a sterling speech. Both his brothers were best men, one having to head off early to act in a play. But, typical actor, had to take the final bow with a recorded best man’s speech. Five stars from this critic and well deserved!

Top Wedding Tip | Fisherman’s Blues

Top wedding tip – I always find it’s important to take some time out during the hurly burly of your hectic wedding day and take a few moments to step back and take a breather. Take a few quiet moments out and perhaps do a little sea fishing. Nothing like it for giving you that perfect little break in the day before heading back to your guests. Not only does it give you the perfect opportunity to practice your casting but it gives the other fishermen the shock of their lives – well, they certainly feel under dressed.

Kate & Neil’s winter wedding at Pembroke Lodge

A pretty brisk February day for Kate & Neil’s winter wedding at Pembroke Lodge but some lovely low-lying winter sunshine made up for the chilly weather. It’s always a privilege to a part of someone’s wedding day but even more so when an old friend asks. I was at school with Neil a while back (far too long ago for comfort …!) Neil still has his cheeky chipmunk grin, great sense of humour and deep sense of integrity all of which showed in their wedding day; great friends and family but most of all the lovely Kate and their gorgeous little girl as a bridesmaid. Pembroke Lodge is a beautiful location with Richmond Park on one side and over looking the Thames on the other, quietly grand, wonderfully intimate and not over stated (as well as having some of the nicest and most professional staff which made everything so effortless).

Norfolk wedding photography | Just One

If you want to gauge just how stunning Isabella looked in her wedding dress, well, you don’t have to go much further than the reaction from her bridesmaids seeing her for the first time. She looked incredibly stylish and effortlessly elegant. Norfolk wedding photography.

Great moment!

Hengrave Hall spring wedding | Just One

This one is especially for Megan – who not only looked stunning through out her wedding day and didn’t stop smiling but managed to keep that beautiful smile going as I disappeared into the under growth to get this image. Dan from FromtheHip video was a few short feet away from me as well, hiding behind some pale grasses, both of us with our heads barely poking out. We looked like two rather over-sized and not so energetic meerkats who every now and again shouted useful things like “…just ignore us, pretend we’re not even here …”. Not only did Megan and Chris keep a straight face through out it all, they did it with incredible grace and charm. A simple image with such a great looking couple. Our biggest challenge was actually asking Chris to look at the camera as he couldn’t keep his eyes off Megan for more than a few seconds at a time – and who could blame him!

Hengrave Hall wedding fireworks

Hengrave Hall wedding fireworks are a rare but highly enjoyable treat. And absolutely blummin’ spectacular! The fireworks for Vicki and Dean’s wedding were set up by the capable and very nice folk from Fully Fused Fireworks and there were a few fantastic little touches that made the experience just that extra bit special. If you ever want to feel like you are walking on stage for the final of X-Factor, this is your moment. Standing in amongst these huge fountains of fireworks was so cool …but then again, I’m a big kid and a sucker for fireworks.

We had been lucky with the rain all day – a few spots as Vicki and Dean walked into the chapel but thankfully nothing when they walked out. During the reception we could see a large ominous black cloud rolling over the fields towards Hengrave Hall and a massive storm hitting a few minutes before the end of the reception. Near perfect timing. Just to keep us on our toes, there was a bit more rain when the last of the decisions about the timings of the fireworks were being made. But thankfully, we had a perfect cool and clear evening when it was time to light the fuses. I know Vicki would have been gutted if they had been called off. Me too!

Not only great fireworks, but doing a great backlighting job too! Lovely shot.

Gosfield Hall winter wedding | Just One

It might have been a chilly February day but this wasn’t going to stop us making the most of this wonderful Essex wedding venue, Gosfield Hall. Not one; not two; not even three images – that’s right folks, four (count them) four fantastic sneak peek images from Cheryl and Steve’s Gosfield Hall winter wedding. You’re really getting your money’s worth out this week’s Just One! One of my favourite shots at Gosfield Hall is looking down that long ailse at the couple just after they have got married, with them both just beaming with pride as they stand in front of all their family and friends. We made the most of the venue with plenty of shots of just Cheryl and Steve as I know that they were both keen on getting as many as possible – well, I say “they” but I suspect Steve was being a brave soul through out it all!

Glenham Hall wedding photography of Laura and Dan

A couple of days before this wedding, the weather was looking pretty bleak. Pretty grim. Well, it was the middle of February and during the run of oddest weather we’ve had for a long time. When I met up with Laura, it was grey, wet and miserable and we had pretty much settled on Plan B for the wedding photography – Plan B is ‘doing all the photography indoors’! Well, wouldn’t you know it, the day of the wedding took us all by surprise – beautiful blue skies, crisp, clear winters day. Still a little frisky but the best we could ask for this time of year. Glenham Hall is a fantastic backdrop for any wedding but more so when the sky is blue, it just seems to shine. Nothing could out shine Laura though, she looked quite simply stunning. Nothing makes a person look more beautiful than a big smile and Laura has one of the best. The wedding itself was held in the church behind the hall (just that little too far to walk on a winters day) and back to the house for the drinks reception. As the sun was setting (which was about 3.30pm!) the guests made their way through the gardens to the marque for the evening’s entertainment.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day.
