Wedding Photography: The Barns Hotel :: Rich and Emma
Sep
20
Little did we know at the start of the day but Rich and Emma were known amongst their friends and family to be fairly partial to a bit of a smooch (with eachother I might add). Not that people tend to need too much instruction to be affectionate on their wedding days but these two were an absolute breeze.
The weather was determined to get in the way of this wedding but I am very happy to say it failed entirely. We had to delay taking Rich and Emma away because of a little bit of drizzle but the clouds parted for just long enough to nip down to a local little spot that Ben and I found on our scouting around travels. We even got some sun for good measure.
Rich and Emma are such a warm couple, it was a pleasure to be a part of their day.
Have a look at some photos from the day.

Wedding Photography Longstowe Hall :: Iain and Emma Follett
Aug
15
You know when you meet someone and you just wish you were as cool as them? Well I get that every now and then and I got that feeling when we first met Iain and Emma at their home last year. After having the privilege of seeing their home again and being a guest at their wedding I can say that they have the coolest taste in the world. I know it is wrong to covet but i really found it tricky not to. Just check out the gift that Emma got Iain (the watch) and you will know what i mean.
Anyway enough of that, onto their wedding. It was such a wonderful day, the weather was kind to us and it streamed with sun almost all day. There is something about a sunny day that just makes people happy.That makes our job just such a pleasure.
We had our pre wedding shoot with Iain and Emma not so long ago and had a look around Longstowe hall beforehand but didn’t have a chance to actually take a picture. We made up for it on the wedding day though. Have a look at some from the day below.

Wedding Photography Andy and Odele
Aug
15
I was so excited about this wedding, not because it was going to be the biggest wedding we had ever done, not because I knew there was going to be a bouncy castle and sumo suits, not because I had heard there was going to be a BBC camera crew there, and not because, despite the scale of this day, I knew the details of this wedding were going to be incredible.
I was so excited just for Andy and Odele. I went to university with Odele (back in the day) and very quickly realised that anyone that came into contact with Odele absolutely loved her to pieces. She is just such a good friend to people. That last sentence doesn’t quite do her justice but you get what I mean. I met Andy in the build up to the wedding and he is such a great guy too. Both Odele and Andy are two of the most busy people I know and yet they both give time to those around them. Anyway, I could go on about these two but I wont. Here is their village fete themed wedding:

Pre Wedding Photography :: Rich and Kezia
Aug
12
Rich and Kezia are getting married next year and everything is happening rather rapidly, including this shoot. After about a week of being engaged Rich has travelled over to China for a month and what he really wanted were some nice photos of him and Kezia that he could have for while he is away. So we managed to squeeze in a quick engagement shoot before he left.
Despite the short notice Kezia still managed to plan in some changes of clothing so we had a more traditionally Indian look to a couple of the photos. Changes of clothes are a great idea to mix up a pre wedding shoot like this.
Anyway, enjoy!

Pre wedding photography :: Ben and Lisa: Tewin Bury Farm
Aug

There is one major thing that sets engagement shoots apart from wedding shoots, and that is time. There is something really special about not being rushed and there being no pressure for both us and our couples. With that in mind we started this shoot like I like to start all of our shoots: with a quick drink! Ben and Lisa are such a great couple and I already think we are going to feel like we are shooting a friends wedding for this one. Just how we like it! Here are a couple from our time at Tewin Bury Farm.

Pre wedding photography :: Ian & Emma
Aug
10
Now the eagle eyed among you will notice that we are shooting another Ian & Emma, these guys are totally different people honest! Mainly because Iain & Emma spelling is different, but also because they are different people. The light was definitely fading but that was the only thing fading. We had a blast with Ian & Emma, really looking forward to their wedding. They’re self professed horizontallers, I just made that word up, they are really chilled and the wedding promises to be the same. There something about Australians too (Emma being one of them). I’m sure there’s some grumpy ones out there but I haven’t met any yet. Anyway check out their non-cornfield engagement shoot!

Pre wedding photography :: Gordon and Kerry
Jul

We haven’t had too many beautiful summers evenings recently, but that just means you appreciate the ones when they do come up. We started this shoot off with a nice drink in the sun (well I did anyway, Ben was driving and he is a light weight so he stuck to the orange juice). We spent the rest of our time wandering through some woods and took some pictures along the way!

Pre wedding Photography :: Stephen and Hannah: South Farm
Jul
28
We had heard great things about South Farm, it is billed as a “distinctly different venue” for wedding and it certainly is. This place comes complete with tuc tucs and romany caravans, not your standard wedding venue for sure! Although we didn’t see the tuc tucs we are still believing they exist and we can’t wait for Steven and Hannah’s wedding there later on this year. We took the opportunity to have a look around and make the most of the grounds on a nice sunny day.

Pre wedding Photography :: Luke and Katy
Jul
28
Wow, I never thought this shoot would happen! I’m so glad it did though!
Luke and Katy both work for the RAF so organising a date we could all make was really difficult. We had a couple of false starts with Luke having to fly a plane to some far flung part of the world at a moments notice.
It was certainly worth waiting for. We sat drinking tea and eating buscuits whilst being surrounded by the family dogs vying for our attention while we chatted about details of the wedding and pretty much everything else under the sun. We were at Katy’s mum’s house which is where the reception is going to be held and we somehow feel like part of the furniture there and we have only been there a couple of times. Its great. We can’t wait for this wedding, we can tell already that it is going to be filled with fun.
We went for a walk in a paddock just next to the family home which had some lovely long grasses (you know how much we love grasses!!) and then beyond into a forest. After that we went to a local pub, while Luke was getting the drinks in, Katy too us up to the top of the garden of this pub, we crawled over a broken down wall and around the corner was a mysterious old car that must have been left there 30 years ago. To this day I have no idea how Katy knew it was there, but I am glad she did.
Here are some images of our day with them. For more, why not look at their SLIDESHOW
Pre-Wedding Photography David and Sarah
Jul
28
You might think that the back drop of the first image here might seem a little odd, but you would be wrong. It is perfect!
Both David and Sarah work for a precious metal company. It is a high security, top secret kind of place where I imagine they make gadgets for James Bond and the floors are paved with platinum and the walls studded with diamonds (no idea why there would be diamonds in a precious metal place but that is just how my mind works sometimes). They met at work when David was visiting the HR department where Sarah worked at the time to change some details. They clocked each other, Sarah checked David’s earning potential on the computer (joking) and then the rest is history!
Both David and Sarah really wanted to have the factory as a backdrop in a few of the images because that place means so much to them. We love it when couples get involved in the creative process of choosing locations. It makes such a difference.
