Kimbolton Castle is a beautiful venue for a wedding and I was privileged to be a part of Claire and Conors big day on Saturday. With such fantastic weather all day, I was able to get some lovely shots of the happy couple both in and around the Castle. Kimbolton is a perfect choice for a wedding, with such a majestic exterior and ornate interior, a photographers dream.
The wedding of Victoria and Kieran must have been one of the hottest wedding days that I have ever photographed, but it was so much fun and a real pleasure to be a part of. The marque based wedding took place in the beautiful village of Ashdon near Saffron Walden in Essex.
I shot the pre wedding session of Stephanie and Doug at Hambleton Hall yesterday. Hambleton Hall is situated on a peninsular of Rutland water and commands both beautiful views of the lake and surrounding countryside. I am going to shoot Stephanie and Dougs wedding in a totally different style to most and probably won’t say a word to them all day. I will definitely be utilising a full documentary or fly on the wall style of photography which will test my artistic flare and ability to capture the essence of the day.
Hinchingbrook House near Huntingdon was the venue for yesterdays wedding of Sharon and Dave. We had a great day and the weather was fantastic which enabled the guests to enjoy drinks on the patio area while I took the happy couple around the house grounds. The evening was topped off when the wedding party let of twenty chinese lanterns.
Swynford Paddocks near Newmarket was the venue for my wedding yesterday and what a day we had. I had my work cut out with Paul being around 6ft 6in tall and Victoria, well lets just say she was a lot shorter! I knew the positioning of the couple would be vital if I wanted to maintain the intimate romantic style my couples know and book me for. But after the pre wedding shoot, I knew Victoria and Paul would be great fun to work with and we got some stunning shots through the day. It was also nice to emphasize the height difference in some quirky shots that I hope the couple will love as much as I do.
Wow, what a great shoot I have just had with Victoria and Kieran at the studio. We ventured out into Fenstanton for their pre wedding session not knowing how they would be in front of the camera and I wasn’t disappointed with the results. Victoria and Kieran are a great couple to work with, relaxed, fun and most of all in love. We had a great time and got some stunning images. Not only will their wedding be a day to remember and photograph, but I am already getting excited about the idea of their ‘Cherish the Dress’ shoot.
Yesterday I had the pleasure in photographing the wedding of Nicola and Daniel at The Old Brideg Hotel, Huntingdon. The Old Bridge is a lovely venue that serves fantastic food and is an ideal setting for a boutique wedding. I chose a few new locations for the couple shots, as they say, variety is the spice of life and it’s always good to keep your ideas fresh. Nicola and Daniel were great fun to work with and really relaxed as the day unfolded leaving me with some great shots to incorporate in the album design.
Today I visited the lovely village of Alconbury for the pre wedding shoot of Jo and Andrew. I drove there through light rain which luckily lifted when I arrived and we were able to get some lovely shots of the couple. Most of the shoot was spent having fun next to the village green and the brook made a lovely backdrop for the more romantic shots.
I will be exhibiting at two more weddings fairs over the next few months. The first is at Wood Green, near Huntingdon on the 28th Feb from 11am until 4pm. The second will be at Normanton Park Hotel on the South Shore of Rutland water near Oakham on the 28th March. Going on past experience, both shows should prove very useful for next years bookings.
I had the pleasure of shooting the pre wedding session of Nicola and Daniel at my studio in Fenstanton this morning. The weather was consistent yet again and we had to contend with both snow showers and the cold, but the smiles and laughter never stopped and the couple seemed to enjoy themselves. There are some great locations around the studio and both Nicola and Daniel really got in to the shoot and the urban feel we introduced. They are getting married in March at the Old Bridge Hotel, Huntingdon, a great wedding venue on the edge of the Great Ouse.
