We have just designed a new display album from one of our Rhinefield House weddings. This display album is in two sizes a 12×8″ (A4) and a 14×10″ both identical in design to enable us to show the difference in image sizes and album covers.
Pennyhill Park in Surrey was the wedding venue on Saturday for Robert and Tatiana’s wedding. Tatiana originally from the Ukraine and Robert, a Scotsman, got married in this very English luxury five star hotel in Bagshot.
Friday’s wedding was in East Sussex with the ceremony at St Peter’s in Bexhill and the wedding reception at Powdermills Hotel in Battle. Helen and Graham had been referred to me by two of my previous brides who both work with Graham.
This evening Gemma and Dan came and collected their beautiful Marwell Hall wedding album. This contemporary panoramic matted album features cedar timber wood covers and a distressed mocca leather spine with white leaves.
Saturday was possibly one of the hottest days of the year so far and so I was delighted to be spending it on the very edge of the coast with some cooling sea breezes. Rachel and Garry’s wedding took place on Thorney Island, here in Hampshire, at St Nicholas’ church and then onto the Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants Mess for the reception.
Having travelled down from Leeds that afternoon to visit family I decided to make the short journey to see them and hand over their wedding album personally. The album is a 15×12″ contemporary matted book made in Australia and features a graphite metal cover with a distressed mocca spine and white leaves. The album itself is visually stunning and Katy and Rob made a great choice in selecting the materials from our extensive range of leathers, metals and woods.
Yesterday was the wedding of Sarah and Tom at the Manor Barn in Buriton. Another wonderfully sunny, bright and warm day perfect for a wedding. I met up with Sarah, her mum, and bridesmaids at the Trooper Inn near Petersfield where Sarah was getting ready and got some details of her dress, jewellery, perfume, shoes and tiara as well as the preparations, hair and make-up
We photographed a wedding on this weekend in 2008 at Marwell Hall and two years later returned in similar weather for the wonderful wedding of Danni and Stu. This wedding was beautifully animal themed from the tiger and leopard ties, and the wedding breakfast room and table plan.
This evening one of our 2009 couples collected their album containing images from their New Place wedding.
We have spent the latter part of 2009 and early 2010 reviewing the albums we offer, parents albums to accompany them, and also the costs associated with our weddings and the prices our suppliers are charging us. In 2010 we held prices, partly because of the global recession, and partly because our suppliers had also managed to contain costs. However in light of some of the recent changes we do need to restructure some of our packages and also reflect some price increases which we have already had to take on and some which we know will be coming in late 2010 and in 2011 prior to us supplying any albums.
I was asked to come and take a look at Kuti’s Royal Thai Pier by a wedding planner that I’m working with. The pier is going to be one of Hampshire’s newest wedding venues and I got to take a good look around this historic waterfront property to familiarise myself with it, and whilst I was there took the opportunity to take some photographs.
We will be attending the De Vere Grand Harbour wedding fair on the 21st February (this coming Sunday). This show we will have some new items on our stand, and look forward to speaking with couples looking for quality wedding photography in fine products with a relaxed and friendly service.
As a recommended photographer for Marwell Hall, the listed building within Marwell Wildlife in Hampshire we are pleased to announce that we have a stunning new display album in place showing three of our recent weddings.
