So for my first wedding of the year I had the great honour and pleasure of photographing Noelle and Ross’ wedding at the Tithe Barn at Ditcham near Petersfield. A fantastic stone barn which has long been on my list of Hampshire wedding venues that I would love to photograph.
Despite not shooting a wedding for some two months over the winter I quickly got back into the swing of things.
The day started early in Emsworth at the beauty salon, and continued through until late when Ross’ band played to the guests but in between it was a magical story of laughter and tears of joy which I had the opportunity to capture. With a wonderfully sunny and warm February day we took full advantage and as well as the formal group photographs and documentary coverage of the day I was able to spend some time alone with Noelle and Ross which forms the majority of my selected images below.
I’ll update this blog entry with some of the names of the other suppliers once I check the images – but every detail was perfectly organised, and the food was wonderful (watch out for a separate blog entry).

I rarely post shoes anymore on the blog but I had to show you these magnificent shoes - check out the bling on the them !

A relaxed portrait of the happy couple !

Just next to the barn are some cool sheet metal buildings which we used on the pre-wedding shoot and returned to for some time alone.

And these great blue garage doors in the barn complex - Noelle was amazing today and had some fun !

Another one from this set of images shown this time with a different effect to show how you can make similar images look completely different.
