Fanhams Hall Hotel wedding | Just One

At last – it feels like the first proper sunny day of the summer and it’s only September! First proper sunny day where we weren’t constantly checking and double checking the weather forecast, just in case. The Fanhams Hall Hotel wedding of Hannah and Ross was quite simply stunning – an outdoor ceremony in front of the Japanese Tea House and a reception on the lawns in front of the hotel before the reception in the Pavilion. There was underlying Japanese theme to the day so Fanhams Hall Hotel was a perfect back drop for this .Hannah looked incredible and Ross is a rare gent, one in million. Great couple to work with but even more so with such a lovely backdrop. Here’s one of my favourite images from the day, that great moment of running through a storm of confetti. Many more favourites to follow.

Gosfield Hall wedding of Sharyn and Mark

What a fantastic day the Gosfield Hall wedding of Sharyn and Mark was – I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at a wedding for a very long time. In a good way, that is! The whole day was incredibly relaxed: lovely summer’s sunshine, superbly well organised wedding and just lots of fun. Sharyn was determined not to be the centre of attention, which was okay as I think a couple of her younger bridesmaids were happy to take on that role. I’ll say nothing more than that. Good to see a piper greeting the guests as they arrived before the wedding ceremony in what has to the longest room to walk down as a bride – very impressive but I’m sure it’s nerve racking! If it was, no nerves showed for Sharyn and Mark, they both loved the day, start to finish. Well, there was a moment during the best man’s speech where I think Mark’s credibility wavered a little when the best man unveiled (in spectacular fashion) Mark’s white suit from his nights out as a younger man. No doubt it was something that first attracted Sharyn to him and proof of her superb sense of humour! Here are a few of my favourite images from the day.

Nether Winchendon House wedding | Just One

Just One from the Nether Winchendon House wedding of Kelly and Aidan. Nether Winchendon House is a superb venue for a wedding – a grand building but also has and incredibly relaxed attitude. Drinks on the terrace, reception on the lawns that roll down to the stream at the bottom of the garden. Something impressive but also quietly English. Defintiely one of my favourite venues to photograph at! Kelly and Aidan couldn’t have planned the weather any better – well done guys – lovely, simple sunny day. Here’s one of my favourites from the day – I love this image as much because the light is magical but mainly because the moment is there. It’s just after everyone has left the terrace to head up to the barn for the wedding breakfast and it was just the two of them together, a nice little moment.

Gosfield Hall wedding photographer | Just One

As Sharyn and Marks’ Gosfield Hall wedding photographer my brief was simple – I was given instructions from Sharyn to take as many pictures of everything and everyone else except the bride. Now, I know I’m a bloke and a little slow on the up-take when a lady says something to me but I couldn’t help but feel there was a little hesitation on behalf of Sharyn about having her photo taken. But that is just a guess, mind you, I could be wrong. Just to be safe though, I took Sharyn and Mark out for their photos later on in the day just as the sun was setting and the light had that stunning golden quality it always seems to have at Gosfield Hall. It was also after the meal and perhaps a glass of champagne had been drunk making things a lot more relaxed! Sharyn and Mark were a fantastic couple to work with, great sense of humour, making the day an absolute joy. Here is one of my favourite images from the day with plenty more to follow.

Ravens Ait wedding of Claire and Ed

Scorching hot! And I don’t just mean the lovely bride, Claire! (And with lines like that, it is a mystery to me why I was ever single …) Beautifully hot and sunny day for this Ravens Ait wedding, a spectacular wedding venue on an island in the Thames. This wedding was always going to be a little special with so much enthusiasm and effort having gone into the planning. Also so many little individual touches that made this truly Claire and Ed’s day. One of the special treats about getting married on Ravens Ait is that the bride and groom are whisked away for a boat trip down the Thames in an Edwardian launch (‘launch’ being a boaty term for …well …’boat’). Glass of champagne, waving at the passers-by and watching the sun set – very romantic indeed. Quick last spin around the island and then back to party with the guests. There was never going to be any grey areas about the party as well – this was always going to be loud, large and a lot of fun! The wedding was so good that Claire and Ed decided to do it again back in Ed’s home country of New Zealand. Here are a few of favourite images from the day.

Corking venue! All that light, all that space – gorgeous.

Boxted Hall | Suffolk wedding venue

Set in a secluded vale of Suffolk, Boxted Hall is one of those hidden gems that modestly glows with old world charm and quintessential Englishness. A moated manor house that has been home to generations of Toby and Jennie’s family – over 600 years of family. Such a depth of history could be daunting but nothing could be further from the incredibly warm welcome you get when you arrive, invited in as an old familiar friend for tea and a chat in the kitchen. As impressive as the wood-pannelled hall is or the winding corridors through to the library or drawing rooms, this really is a family home as much as a wedding venue. Looking from the front door of Boxted Hall, you can see a church on the hill, perfect place for a wedding ceremony and short walk downhill back to the house with your guests following behind.

Ravens Ait wedding photography | Just One

A surprisingly quiet and subdued moment for my choice of image for this week’s Just One from Claire and Ed’s wedding on Ravens Ait Island, London. A surprising choice because the day was all about the laughter, bold colours and so, so much fun. But I love this little moment between Claire and her father, off to one side just before they both walk down the aisle, incredibly touching. We always focus on how nervous a bride must be before the ceremony but it must also be an incredible range of emotions for the bride’s father as well. My little girl is only a toddler and I know I am only at the beginning of the journey of watching her grow up, it’s a long way off before I have to worry about this myself. That and giving away a daughter, I come from a Scottish heritage and we’re not well known for giving anything away! Anyway, here’s one of many of my favourite images from the day with plenty more to follow soon.

Bury Court Barn wedding photography | Maria & Gavin

Blisteringly hot and sunny day for the Bury Court Barn wedding photography of Maria and Gavin. I think all the sunshine for this year has arrived in one day! Which is fantastic at Bury Court Barn as the gardens are spectacular and always great to be able to have the wedding reception outdoors. The nerves for both Maria and Gavin were tangible before the ceremony but you just knew that when Maria walked up the aisle and saw Gavin, the nerves were just pure excitement – such a lovely thing to see. Having photographed an engagement session earlier in the year, I knew that these guys had a great chemistry together. They were also up for the smiliest couple of the year award as well, nothing was going to stop them totally enjoying this day! Many, many congrautaltions to you both – you can see the full gallery of their images up at The Barn at Bruy Court.

Special mention also has to go to two of the best suppliers in the wedding industry – Jacaranda Catering which always surpass expectations and Tiger Rose Floral Design who always have some of the most imaginative and unique floral designs. Lovely people to work with as well.
