Now that the “Christmas at Marwell – be enchanted” experience is well underway I’m pleased to reveal that I was the photographer behind most of the images used in the PR materials for the event.

This was the last of our weddings for 2011, and it started at New Place to meet Matt and his family rather than with Debra for her preparations. I started with some bright overcast sky allowing me to photograph Matt, his family, and best-man in perfect light in the driveway area of New Place and in front of the house, before heading out to find some guests arriving, touch base with the coordinators from New Place, and get a view of the wedding ceremony room and plan my angles. It wasn’t long though before the guests were ushered in, and Debra arrived in a lovely old Riley wedding car which eased it’s way through the large feature gates onto the drive stopping near the house and allowing a reflection of this stunning property in the chrome of the bodywork.
Wendy and Martin wanted their day at Marwell Hall to be a party with a wedding also happening, and it certainly was that. These are the wedding photos from from the day at Marwell Hall in September 2011 featuring shoes, face painting, lemurs, cigars, & a wedding !
Last Saturday we photographed Becky & Ian’s wedding at St Boniface Church in Chandlers Ford followed by a reception at the Winchester Guildhall. Typically it seems for August weddings it started raining during bridal preparations at Becky & Ian’s house but this didn’t affect the mood as Becky, her bridesmaids and lovely flower girls got...
This evening I met up with Debra and Matt at the De Vere property in Shedfield – New Place – for their pre-wedding shoot and meeting. Whilst we hadn’t had the torrential rain forecast it was a little misty and drizzly and so we worked as much of the venue outside as possible to give a good flavour of this lovely old house and it’s grounds.
I’m shooting Wendy and Martin’s wedding at Marwell Hall later on this year and so this morning we met up at the gates of Marwell Wildlife and headed up to Marwell Hall for their pre-wedding shoot. On the way up we managed to talk a little about Wendy and Martin’s plans for the day and we soon arrived at the Hall which was deserted at this early hour.
Winchester Guildhall was the central venue for this evenings pre-wedding shoot with Becky and Ian. Although they will be getting married at a local church Becky and Ian will be going to Winchester Guildhall for their wedding reception and this was the natural place to do their pre-wedding shoot.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Lianne and Iain’s intimate wedding aboard HMS Warrior in the Historic Naval Dockyard, Portsmouth.
Yesterday was the amazing wedding of Christie and Martin, two dancers from the Northern Ballet Company who were married at St Annes Church in Brockenhurst and the onto Rhinefield House for their wedding reception. I had met Christie and Martin way back in January 2010 at a wedding fair and immediately hit it off with them, and Christie’s family who had also come along.
Yesterdays wedding was held in the picturesque church of St Cross in Winchester, and then onto New Place in Shedfield. I started at Michelle and Jon’s house where I met Michelle’s parents and the bridesmaids and got some lovely documentary images of Michelle getting ready as well as details of the bridal wear.
I met Lianne and Iain early this Sunday morning for their pre-wedding shoot onboard HMS Warrior in the Historic Dockyard, Portsmouth. With crowds of visitors expecting on HMS Warrior today we arrived at opening time and made our way to the ship to avoid the sightseers and get some relaxed images onboard HMS Warrior which...
Today was my long awaited pre-wedding shoot with Michelle and Jon at both St Cross Church, Winchester, and then onto New Place in Shedfield (or Shirral Heath – I’m never sure). Long awaited because I had been to St Cross in 2008, when I assisted another photographer for the day, and had been keen to book a wedding for myself at the venue, and also because I was looking forward to seeing Jon and Michelle again – because despite shooting some commercial work for Jon in Winchester last year it had been some time since they booked me for their wedding.
Yesterdays wedding was at my favourite venue in the New Forest, Rhinefield House – wedding photography is a pleasure at this venue and once again it didn’t disappoint with a dry day improving throughout and with wonderful light in the great hall. Our last wedding of the year was at Rhinefield House as well, and I was really looking forward to my first of the year.
We are pleased to announce that we will be showcasing our wedding photography at Marwell Hall during their wedding fair this coming Sunday. As a recommended photographer we will be showing our display album, also used by Marwell Hall themselves, containing three beautiful weddings in the Hall and photographs from around the hall, grounds,...
We photographed a pre-wedding shoot at Rhinefield House today for Liz and Carl who are getting married there later in the spring. Rhinefield House is one of my favourite venues to shoot outside on location.
