Fulham Palace wedding of Caroline & Jamie

Fulham Palace wedding. It’s been a stormy winter with unpredictable days: some glorious, most grisly. The weekend before Christmas was looking a bit touch and go. But the weather wasn’t going to dampen Caroline and Jamie’s spirits, they were determined to enjoy the day and make it an absolute belter! They had basic premise of getting a big bunch of great friends and family together, add in a positive celebration vibe with a few glasses of fizzy pop and you can’t really go wrong. The plan worked superbly; the ceremony in All Saints, Fulham was full of emotion and the reception and party at Fulham Palace was out-standing. If there was any pre-Christmas party fatigue, it wasn’t showing here. The great thing about having a wedding the weekend before Christmas is that end of term feeling everyone has.

Henham Park wedding of Amelia & Tom

Henham Park wedding. You are not likely to meet two more lovely, committed and funny people than Amelia and Tom. I met them first on a balmy summers day at the beach in Walberswick. We had an engagement photo session which was so relaxed it felt more like a walk with a couple of old friends. This is pretty much the welcome you get from the families as a whole. Warm, welcoming and generous.

Seckford Hall wedding photos. Every now and then I am asked what my favourite venues are to photograph a wedding. I ‘um’ and ‘ahh’ a bit thinking of all the amazing venues I have had the privilege of photographing at but it always comes down to one simple thing. The chemistry of the couple I am photographing. Simple as that. Don’t get me wrong, I love a great wedding venue and Seckford Hall is a fantastic place for a wedding, you are spoilt for choice here. If the chemistry isn’t there, your venue will only provide so much of the magic. So if I could give one bit of advice to any couple wanting to get the best out of their day, that would be to “smile lots and enjoy it”.

Winter wedding photography at Hengrave Hall of Becky & Kieran

The weather for winter wedding photography at Hengrave Hall really doesn’t get much better than this – clear, crisp blue skies, enough of a chill in the air to remind you that it’s winter but not enough to make being outside feel miserable. This kind of winter weather is perfect, it gives you so many different options and opportunities which I’m so glad that Becky and Kieran took. The day started with a wonderfully emotional civil ceremony in the library – intimate ceremonies like this can really bring out the emotions in everyone, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! The sun stayed with us for the blessing in the chapel, that low-lying winter sun hugging the horizon giving a magical feel to the day especially when Becky and Kieran were greeted by all their guests with confetti as they walked out of the chapel. The speeches were a testament to what a fantastic couple these two are – Kieran getting roasted by his brother but with so much heartfelt pride in his brother. And Becky’s incredible generosity and kindness shone through. The evening was well fuelled (!) and we had plenty of takers for the photobooth after the dancing had started, even a little flower girl! Here are a few of my favourite images from the day.
