Yesterday I was at the majestic St Matthew’s church in Otterbourne, Hampshire for the wedding of Kirsty and Marco, which was followed by a reception at The Potters Heron in Ampfield.

Although not an everyday occurrence we sometimes get a portrait enquiry which is a little out of the ordinary. Typically for the same reason. In Germany when applying for a job it is almost always a requirement to present an image of yourself with or on your CV or job application. In the UK not so much, but there are many other reasons for needing a high quality portrait image of yourself for applications or online uses.
This afternoon we photographed the pre-wedding shoot of Katy and Rob at the Gate Street Barn in Bramley, Surrey. Once again I was spoiled for choice with the entire exterior of the barn, and the gardens in immaculate condition. With a slightly overcast but bright sky there were no really places we couldn’t shoot and so we quickly got down to the business of making some wonderful images which will provide Katy and Rob with a great reminder of the day and also some practice in being photographed for their wedding which is in a couple of months.
We have just completed a commercial project with a local residential care home to create some photographs for their new website.
I met up with Sally and Mark at Hillier Gardens in Romsey earlier today for their pre-wedding shoot. The gardens have a big connection with Mark’s family and it was lovely to take some photographs in a place they knew so well.
Yesterdays wedding saw us stay in Hampshire and travel the short distance to Southampton for a wedding at St Christopher’s Church and then on to the lovely Chilworth Manor. Karen and Tim’s wedding was a word of mouth referral from another Hampshire wedding we did in October 2007 where Karen was an evening guest. It was lovely to see some familiar faces as well as to meet some new people.
Some days you get to do photography for yourself. Not much but sometimes. Today this Hampshire photographer managed to get over to the Festival of Speed at Goodwood House near Chichester (a lovely wedding venue) in West Sussex for the first time in years to do a little personal work.
Today we photographed some local Stubbington, Fareham children at their pre-school. I love shooting portraits on location and so we followed the kids outside into the garden area and with parents, and organisers assistance captured some natural candid portraits and also some semi-posed or at least positioned portraits in the shaded areas of the garden.
