Today saw me helping out my old friend Rob (Shooting Hip) at a lovely little wedding at the Tithe Barn wedding venue at Ditcham near Petersfield in Hampshire. Sometimes couples would like coverage in two different places on a wedding day. Typically covering the groom’s morning as well as the brides preparations in a different…
Today saw me once again at Wasing Park, one of my absolute favourite local wedding venues. It’s been built around the existing (mainly 18C) buildings of an estate farm and has a unique atmosphere compared to similar wedding venues. The driveway from the road meanders through farmland and when you arrive at Wasing Park, there’s…
It sounds like an unlikely combination but Texas met Hereford today in rural Berkshire for a wonderful wedding celebration at Lillibrooke Manor, one of my favourite wedding venues. The day started for me in nearby Cookham, photographing some of the preparations. Caroline, some family and friends had flown in from Dallas for the big day….
Thanks Simon for all your hard work on this important day for our families. You managed to cover many different locations throughout a very long day. We could not be more pleased with the results.
As a side note I also appreciate that you were dressed appropriately for the venue and occasion. Thanks again for all your efforts. Please get in touch if you need us as a referral. Regards Neil and Patty RohanReplyCancel
Steff and Mike got married today at The Kings Chapel, Old Amersham. The Kings Chapel is a former school and is an unusual builidng with it’s large domed ceiling and two tier seating. The couple had put a great deal of effort in to the organisation; they had personalised the wedding venue beautifully and there…
Wedding photography is a funny job, when the day rolls around you step into a temporary world that comes and goes in the space of hours. When you mix a luxury wedding venue, a beautiful sunny day and a happy and relaxed couple, a magical afternoon is created and it’s a privilege to be there…
I had the pleasure of working alongside Charlie recently at Nikki and Russell’s wedding at the Millhouse Hotel in Swallowfield and today we met for a chat about music at weddings and why you might consider hiring a band or musician. Sickeningly talented, he plays the guitar as well as keyboards. On top of that…
Kate and Matt – a transatlantic love story reached it’s logical conclusion today in Clapham, south London. Kate is from the west coast of the USA and Matt hails from Lancashire but they live and work together in Houston, Texas. I often photograph weddings where the couple live abroad and it’s an interesting thought that…
I had such a great time at Vicky and Paul’s wedding today in Pinner in Middlesex. I’d met Vicky prior to the wedding but I’d not had the pleasure of meeting Paul who’d been jetting around the world on business prior to the big day. It’s always a bit weird, turning up at the church…
Huge congratulations to Tamara and Ken who held their wedding celebrations at Taplins Place last weekend. It was a lovely day with the emphasis on family, friends and having fun. More photographs to come soon!
Rachael and Adam got married today in Eversley Church. They both live and work in Dubai and flew in for their beautiful summer wedding in leafy (and slightly damp) Hampshire which must have been an interesting contrast to their normal lives. The wedding reception was held at the bride’s parents house near Eversley in Hampshire….
Finally! I’m pleased to show you a beautiful wedding photofilm from Nikki and Russell’s recent wedding at the Millhouse Hotel, Swallowfield near Reading. Thanks to the couple for their patience waiting for me to finish putting this together :) It was a fantastic day, lots of great moments, smiles and happiness, may be a tear…
After a week of (mostly) rain, I was delighted that Nikki and Russell’s wedding day dawned clear with blue skies. With an outdoor wedding ceremony planned at The Millhouse Hotel in Swallowfield, it’s understandable that the weather was perhaps a greater concern than usual. I do love photographing an outdoor wedding ceremony. It’s a totally…
